Guys, I keep telling you this again, and again and agai...ah fuck it what the fucking hell...GAF gonna be GAF.
Im sorry, really really sorry but if you wanna blame anybody for NBC's bad first day - you gonna have to Blame ESPN and CBS.
WHY?
Because the IOC went to CBS and they told them to bid, but that fucking asswipe Moonves stated NO. Even though they and Turner would have been much more successful with the games.
Then we have the Curious Case of ESPN. Disney outright TOLD the IOC that they wanted to be the NUMBER ONE SPONCER WORLD WIDE for the games. They were willing to pay 1.4 BILLION for the games up to 2018. But the IOC wanted the rights to 2020. ESPN would have done the same thing as they did in Wimby and the Open Tournament - tape delay the fuck out of it. Worse than NBC has done it. And would have raised their cable tax to a point where the whole cable industry would have melted into oblivion.
Fox didnt have the tools, nor the network man power to do it.
So its NBC and Comcast who are the only people left to do it. And this is the way its going to be for the next 3 summer and 2 winter games. Because nobody from the other networks have the balls.
So your compaining does nothing. Your whining does nothing. You want to throw eggs, Do it at Moonves's house, not Costas's. Go blame Disney than Comcast. All this complaining is a fucking joke, because you all read what they going to do and if you didnt your just a part of the damn problem with Sports TV right now. You pay and pay so the fuck much but you dont even know what the fuck your watching, who is behind the deals and why the fuck they do what they do. Its a joke.
