You know something else? And this kills me. I live in California, which means the "live" events on TV are three hours delayed, but the internet doesn't know this. So, for example, at 9:30PM (or 8:30 in the MO equivalent) I already know who won the gold medal in men's skating but it hasn't even aired yet.
It was even worse with Beijing, where if I hadn't been plagued with first trimester quease, I probably wouldn't have watched any of it, since I knew who won for about 12 hours before the stuff was aired on TV. Major buzzkill. NBC should provide a channel of live-as-happening Olympics coverage.
