Th IOC is going to learn the lesson the NFL is now learning. Sooner or later the wall gets hit. Smart cities don’t bid anymore. The President is a fink. |

MSNBC All have carried their Olympic coverage in the past. Instead, they put the bulk of the airtime on NBCSN, which many people don't have, and some premium Olympic Channel you have to pay extra to see, but isn't really showing events anyway, just results and talking heads. NBC is doing 4 hours of coverage a night.l, even on weekends. Yes, there's a live-stream online, along with highlight tapes. But many millions of Olympics fans, mostly my age and older, don't stream. Horrible plan. Just sucks. And nobody else cab show anything because of broadcast rights, even YouTube reproduction of broadcasts. Also to bragging rights, I was a good enough sprint swimmer in high school to get an invite to the trials. But I had already peaked the previous fall, and had a big conflict in attending, so I didn't. (I'm quite sure I was no longer fast enough to make the team, so at least I didn't take up a spot someone else deserved). Still, just the possibility made me an Olympic devotee for life. Ok, enough random ranting. Thanks for listening. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

OMG, is there a charity for these people? How are they going to watch the Tour De France? The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

American athletes have had a relatively poor showing in Pyeongchang, which has dampened enthusiasm among viewers here. The U.S. is currently ranked fourth in the global Olympic medal count with just 23 gold, silver and bronze medals. With only a handful of events left, Norway is dominating with 38 medals. In Sochi, Americans ended the Games leading the count, bringing home 28 medals. That assessment seems unduly harsh. They are ahead of Sochi by one gold and silver and down by 6 bronzes. They have never won more than 10 golds in history. G+S+B US WInter Olympics 9+8+ 6= 23 (2018) 9+7+ 12=28 (2014) |

BBB: Learn to stream. Get the NBC Sports App. Watched alot of things live, and alot of things taped. You control what you watch, not stuck to the NBC Primetime and Primetime + coverage. |
