Well now that the Superbowl is over and they (hopefully) have cleaned up all the confeftti at Ford Field, it is time to get psyched up fo the 2006 NASCAR seaso.... ooo look, Olympics! Sorry but was just distracted the fact that the winter olympics are taking place, like right now!

So I know that a lot of Americans are a little pissed that NBC is showing events after they have been contested and you can find out who won what and watch highlights before Bob Costas ever gets near it, but thankfully for me, I live in Canada (never thought I would say those words in February). Cause in Canada while I may be ripped off of watching the Busweiser Shotoout live because rain delay caused the race to be moved to Sunday afternoon and TSN (Canada's really bad version of ESPN, it only really covers hockey, I'm sure I'll write lots more about this in another blog), was already programmed to show golf (which was also being aired on CBS at the same time! Ya, it confuses me too) so I had to stay up and watch the shootout at midnight, I am able to watch Olympic events take place LIVE! Yes live, as in while they are happening. Every morning while I eat breakfast I watch the Olympics on the CBC. It's great, I usually see someone awarded a medal before I'm even halfway done my bowl of cereal, and it's all LIVE!

I know I may be rubbing this in some people's faces because I know that most people do not want to watch a tape-delay performace when they already know the outcome. And I love the fact that the sports segment of the evening news on US stations have even resorted to telling people that Olympic results are about to be read. It goes something like this, "Olympic results are about to be read, if you do not want to know the results please turn away from your TV, turn down the sound, and realise that the event was over hours ago!" Okay so maybe that's not what they say, but they should!

Okay that's it for know, I'm sure I will have something else to rant about later. Lates!
