    I wanted to see the US match. So, I tuned in this morning to see when it was on. NBC Sports said that it will be replayed at 9:30 this morning and said that the team would be on right before the broadcast. Then, they show a pic of the team with gold medals hanging around their necks...with NO spoiler alert! CRAP! But, congrats to the team! When Shuster is on, they are really tough!

    Thank the Lord, no more Olympics next week. Most of these sports should be on ESPN 8 "The OCHO".

    Its only on every 4 years. It must suck to have someone force you to watch stuff you don’t want to.

    My TV comes with more than one channel. Pretty inexpensive and you even get a thingy to change them by pressing buttons.

    I really enjoy the Olympics, I watched every night. When their over nothing much worth watching till baseball season starts. I always hate the period after the Super Bowl till baseball, the Olympics kinda filled the gap a little bit.

    It was a great win. Shuster, was told he wasn't good enough for the Olympics.

    I know must make fun of curling, but I really enjoyed watching.

    I enjoyed watching most of the Olympics especially the snowboarding and skiing events that the USA did good in. After two weeks, I'm glad it's over as we stayed up a little later than normal. By this past Friday night I was ready to watch something else.
