3. Because medals don't count, being there counts, and who is "we"?
I'm not there competing, assume you all aren't either, so who is this "we"? I figure the great thing about the Olympics is seeing all these great athletes performing and having a great time. end of my rant

4. The TVGuide channel has a US medal count
It scrolls around each time the menu refreshes.

5. nbc website has a complete list
I just wish I could tune in to skating from start to finsih...like the THIRTEEN STRAIGHT FREAKING HOURS OF HOCKEY :grr:

They should just point cameras at the venues, and let us choose what we want to see.. I HATE HATE HATE the skating coverage.. They are pimping skating..

Tune in tonight for ..... and you tune in ans see ONE skater, and then it's off to luge-land or downhill-flying-sledboarding or the ever popular aliens on skates chasing each other in circles.. oh..and back to figure skating for one more skater, and the we get to listen to Costas interviweing some goofball..

I don't even care who wins..

6. Thank you...
I had to DVR 4+ hours of Olympic coverage tonight just to watch the men's figure skating final. I couldn't tell who had performed already and what order they were going in because they kept jumping back and forth. x(
