Sporting News Predicts the Future. It's 9:30 pm EST and the closing ceremonies have been on for 1 hour, but the Sporting News has provided us with a complete recap of the night, including Rogges final words to Salt Lake City. They must have hired Ms. Cleo recently.

The Olympics aren't live. News flash.

dhartung said: The Olympics aren't live. News flash.

They are if you live in an advanced hockey ass-kicking country. During every Olympics Canadians have the choice of watching U.S. network coverage or Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Coverage. The CBC coverage is consistently far better despite having a tiny budget. I sometimes think America has demented monkeys running their networks.

P.S. There were no game time commecials on CBC during the hockey finals unlike in the NBC coverage.

Don't forget to mention, srboisvert, that Canada kicked ass in hockey.

Oops, sorry, you did mention that Canada kicked ass in hockey! What you failed to mention is that both the Women's team kicked ass and the Men's team kicked ass.

Man, what an ass kicking!

LOL.

(I think I'll stop, now. Nothing like a sore winner, especially after a humiliating ass-kicking!)

Yeah, whatever. Canada. NBC, however, was mostly not live during primetime. This is not news, to the point of asking why this needed to be an FPP.

We did get the friggin' hockey game live. What do you think we are, heathens?

Like I said, whatever.
