    Default The Olympics, and where to watch the Events

    Or, I HATE NBC. Instead of showing Michael Phelps first gold winning race, they have some bull**** local programming on. I can't believe it.

    Luckily, my proximity to Canada meant I could watch Phelps on CBC.

    But I'm looking for internet sources to watch live and other videos of olympic events.

    All help is appreciated.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Why would you want to watch swimming anyway?

    Our former Miss Universe would beg to differ (as well as most of our population...). If you mean just the swimmers though, then I absolutey agree with you...

    Because Phelps is the man.

    Anyways, NBC is just now - some four hours or so after the race happened, showing the first Phelps final, and they have the unbelievable gall to have a little logo saying it's live.

    I wish I had a remote that I could use to electrocute network executives when I disliked their programming choices.

    And more of the appallingly boring bios/featurettes on certain athletes on the same channel. Why, oh why?!
