Yeah...I knew something didn't quite fit this year. I understand that they are in the southern hemisphere and so their seasons are bit off from ours.

So, I guess it's cool to have had them this late. But I do have a couple of complaints to lodge. Where's that blasted suggestion box?

I'm sorry, but this whole deal of nary a second of the Sydney games being live is absolutely ridiculous. Only NBC is moronic enough to come up with such a half-witted idea. There were plenty of events that were taking place in the morning in the of the Aborigine, when at the same time it was "Prime Time" in the land of the free and the home of the Mets. There was nothing more infuriating then reading ESPN.com on my break at work and then going home and watching Bob Costas hype up an event that would have been more of an on-the-edge-of-your-seat-nail-biter if it had been live instead of Memorex.It's bad enough that they already do a lousy job with the NBA, and the 3 games of Major League Baseball that they broadcast a year. And thank the Lord that they no longer screw up the NFL. But why, please someone tell me why, did they have to make such an idiot mistake like the way the covered the Olympics? And to think we have to deal with this for like the next 15 years or whatever. I don't think I can handle it. I guess SM will have to send a correspondent to the winter games in Salt Lake City...
