That Japanese skater had some serious swag.
Probably live.
These games have worse live times to watch then the London games in Americana. BOOOOOO!!!!
Oh bloody wonderful.
No. Too much corruption has soured a lot of people.

No mention of #NBCfail and NBC tape delayed for US audience only?
Where are my games? My opening ceremony?
Oh yeah kept ransom for over half a day because they have to "reality TV" it up for the frau/housewives to consume and then claim they are real sports fans
The uninteresting stuff and prelims are always live
The popular sports and their medal finals are always saved for primetime (For US only, no other country does this) for dat ad revenue.
Capitalism at it's finest and ruining our enjoyment

We've learned from past games to find alternatives to NBC. These games makes is difficult because of the time differences.

As an American, what channels do I get that show the Olympics.. and are there any live events or just shit that happened earlier that day

Any channel owned by NBC will show stuff. Sometimes it's live other times it is delayed to match prime time viewership in the US.

The last winter games took place in Pacific Time zone. They still delayed it 8 hours later.
How is that a time difference excuse?

I see what you did there.
Nope, I feel like storylines, and especially history, have a huge impact on how they're judged.
Oh I just mean it sucks to wake up at 4 am to see events live. NBC can go straight to hell for the way they handle the Olympics. They always suck.
Reread the question.

Really looking forward to the skating, skiing, curling and bobsled events. I also love watching the march of countries in the opening ceremonies. It's a simple gesture, but it must mean a lot to every country to be able to show with pride their athletes who have worked hard and earned a place to compete with their peers.

$$$ > logic
It sucks, but that's how NBC does it. If you want to watch live, find a stream.
I did, and it means exactly the same as how I paraphrased it.

Matt Vasgersian calling the women's moguls right now on NBC makes me miss baseball so much more

NBC is actually streaming everything live except for the opening ceremonies.
You just need a cable sub, which sucks, but still. Better than previous years.
"Am I the only one who hates judging?"
"Nope"
It means, no you're not the only one that hates it.
Maybe I'll remember to watch some of the events this time.
Curling has always seemed like a really odd sport to me.
But hammerfall did a music video with it so I can't really deny that it has the potential to be cool with it's own audience.

There's nothing going on until the opening ceremonies.Any stream for US watchers? The canadian links wont work for me
His skin is super good though. I'd be shocked that he was 61 if he hadn't been hosting this stuff since forever.
It is the pinnacle of weirdness for an Olympic sport imo, which is what makes it even cooler in my eyes
Ok I just dont want to miss the superior Canadian M.E. Ass live.
