NBC paid so much for the broadcast rights, then feel the need to sell the games by hyping second rate or uneven talents simply because they're American. When those folks fail after weeks of Bode this, Weir that, Michelle/Sasha and on and on it's hard for the average viewer to not come away disappointed. Truth I have seen some truly amazing things this week. Most times it's not from Americans, but that doesn't make it any less impressive.
Personally I would love to see more in-depth coverage about how the sports actually work. How to ski jumpers train? How do you steer a bobsled? WTF is a sports psychologist and how do they help athletes? Add that to profiles of the REAL stars of the sports and why they win and I think we'd all have a better opinion of the games. Guess I can look forward to a 20 minute fluff piece about Sasha Cohen and her coach tonight though... thanks NBC :P
