In general I found NBC TV coverage improved with more attention to actual events and less hype. I was really glad to hear a number of athletes say that getting a gold medal isn't what the olympics are all about or even their particular sport. Enjoying the sport is what it's all about.

You do not even need to wait; just become still, quiet and solitary and the world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." -- Franz Kafka

I thought the athletes were fabulous and had really worked on being sportmanlike even in very difficult moments. The announcers on the other hand, seemed determined to stab each and every one of them! I really wanted to turn the announcers off.... or make fun of them trying to stand up on a snowboard publically. :>

I wish I could watch the skating w/o the commentary. One guy in particular was very annoying and I wanted to introduce him to a ball-gag! :D Can I mute the speaker and not the music?
