The judges for this super pipe are ridiculous, the chinese riders are rated way too high. The Swiss have been robbed so far.

Shaun White went too high in his first run. 15 year old Japanese kid rules.

I like watching a combination of the CBC and NBC broadcasts.  With the CBC I get to see all the competitors then whe NBC rolls around with its edited version I get to see some good athlete profiles.  I was a bit surprised that NBC would spend so much time on Canadian athletes but they had some very nice pieces.  Better than the CBC I would say.  Its almost like the CBC doesnt want to sound too partisan.

Shame about Shaun White.  I would have liked to see him go out on top.

Yeah, I guess this is a staple of Canadian olympic watching.

Watch CBC/SRC until you are fed up with competition & then switch to NBC for some in depth & interesting profiles.

I dunno, getting pretty tired of watching only what NBC decides I get to see.

That's what I thought as well, hence why I was looking for online streaming.  After watching online streams of the full events, though, I realized that they're utterly boring.

If I was restricted to only NBC I would feel the same way.  But I can watch live feeds on a number of dedicated CBC feed channels - if there is an event I can watch the live feed -  and then I can watch the CBC main Olympic channel.

Our snowboarders have disgraced our country on the half pipe.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
