Special in an Olympic Way

AITOOW feels that the broadcasting on NBC is superficial at best? They give you no explanations for the differences in scores in judging events, they can't remember times in timed events, they don't tell you what distance is necessary in distance events. They just sit there and faux orgasm (Scott Hamilton) or tell you some stupid anecdote about maple syrup. In snowboarding, maybe you could say that landings were not clean, the height of the trick was low, etc (same in figure skating). In figure skating (it's funny that they took away the by country scoring) they could guess on who is scoring low and why (Jonnie Weir) and what their best mark could be if they make no mistakes. In ski jumping maybe the could let you know what distance the jumper needs to get a gold. The line in speed skating is good, but, is the announcer watching it. They always pretend every American can make up a second or two. The guy who does downhill is equally clueless on what time is necessary. And it was funny that yesterday the cross country guy found the finish to be a complete surprise. Maybe to you because you have no clue. This never occured to him to be an option. He's been wrong on every race before yesterday too. I know these guys don't cover these sports for a living, but, hire some who do or force them to do their homework. I'd finally like to thank CBS Sportsline for ruining all the downhill contests by posting in yellow at the top of their home page the results. But, I guess CBS would be trying to screw NBC.
