Maybe it's just me, but every network that pipes in the Olympics zeros in on ice dancing and skiing moguls and half pipe snowboarding.

Why don't they cover other events once every dozen years or so?

Bunches of events that never ever get covered whether American's compete in them or not.

Geezzzz....

I assume they run the events that they figure the US competitors have medal hopes in. The ones you listed are always the top ones. I agree, I don't care to watch them either.....I don't mind the Alpine Downhill stuff, and maybe luge and bobsled, but the rest I can live without. I've only seen maybe a total of 20 minutes this year.

Me too!.... don't know why?... just don't care enough to tune in. Maybe TV is too competitive now days + the ton of stuff on my dvr.

bob costas's eyes are so red you'd think he was hanging out with the mens snow board team.

The Russians are great to look at goofy, We get CBC on cable out of Winnepeg and their coverage is so much better than NBC, they show more events and they show them live also, did anyone see some of the mens curling teams pants, I think some of them made Don Cherry jealous

Watching men's slopestyle. Nuts, skiing down backwards going off jumps landing backwards. Team USA sweeps podium!

Yep...I'm protesting Matt Lauer and especially Bob Costas! I'm elated that he has "stink eye" in both eyes, too bad Dan Patrick didn't get the nod, over Lauer. NBC has terrible coverage this year...too bad the USA pride has faded to this level.
