Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Rooting for ????

Russian Federation vs Czech Republic
(4-2) "Pravda vítězí" = Truth Prevails...alas, Russians are better skaters!
OK, so we were settled in to watch some hockey this afternoon! And especially USA vs Canada, after getting warmed up by the above mentioned game, or not so warmed up, as we both rooted for the Czechs. Guess what, one can watch it, generously provided by NBC cable, on cable!

The 'poor man's' TV will show lots of 'blah blah blah' followed by ice dancing in toto and numerous commercials which time we, admittedly, all use to perform various functions, raid the fridge, blow noses, warm up a pot of tea, pour a glass of something spirited, pop a can, flip a cap, nuke cold coffee - just not watch those commercials, anyway! So, no need to change allegiance just now!
On the positive side, Austria now has 8 medals: 2 Gold, 3 Silver and 3 Bronze
(Schlierenzauer 2. Bronze/ski jump aged 20 yrs), putting it in 6th position in medals count.
How would you like it to be:
Olympic coverage ought to be Olympian!
Just show everything as it happens: That's where the drama lies.
There are at least four networks to call on; show it all as it happens!
Eurosport for instance is showing the RUS vs CZE hockey game live in its entirety without interruption,
or so I hear. and others have full coverage of all sports, maybe live, maybe canned but in full!
