NBC needs to lose the human interest stories

Give me a break. :rolleyes:

bourbon drinking and self gratification -

Pretty notion, if completely untrue.

[Shamrock]

Thanks.

I turn it over to the Olympics, and it's a human interest story. Some chick is sitting on a trampoline, putting on her skates. The trampoline has a stripper pole coming out of the middle of it. Serious. What the hell was that?

Too much skating and other boring junk. Where are the 100 mph downhill crashes?

[Ike]

is it just me or are the commentators for the figure skating just pompous asses.

[Penguin]

There's 4 commentators now. Why do we need 4? Hell, one is good enough.

It encourages body control when flying through the air. And reminds the young girls where they'll end up if they fail as professional trampoliners.

cause even adding them all together, they don't even match up to the level of 'wrong way bob' berry. if only one of them was there, it would be like listening to a random aggie.

Believe you me,
It's not just you.

Olympics are marketed toward women, thus the "human interest" stories and excessive figure skating and gymnastics in the summer games.

so I says thats the honest truth.

Seems like there should be more tampon ads.:mack:

I stopped watching the olympics. Never looked back. Don't miss the fluff and the story...Also don't miss losing hours of my life to a box...

If the one is Scott Hamilton or Brian Boitano, then yes, that's enough. The others are indeed pompous asses. And if they say "twizzle" one more time I'm going to reach through my tv and throttle them in a manner to make Netflix take notes.

I'm tired of your chipper attitude.

"Any person can be an Olympian"



This is the official motto of the World Curling Association.

I also think there are too many commentators for skating and too many human interest stories. Although, I got misty during the Vonetta Whatshername story last night about her deaf kid.

The stupid thing is, the skating program was over 3 hours before it aired! Why can't friggin nbc cut down on the crap and get the skating in before the late news???!?!?!?! That ****ed me off.
If it's live, fine, but it was tape delay! Dick buttons sucks

Every time I turned on the Olympics for like 3 days straight, it was 'Ice Dancing'. I don't even know what that is. NBC should lose the Winter Olympics altogether.
