(Rant) American coverage of the Olympics

Here I am near the nation's capitol with stupid FIOS. Over 900 fricking channels of crap and not one is covering the Olympics!

The closest we have is some Vancouver Olympic news station which is just talking about the Olympics and giving us the results. I don't care about the frickin results, I want to see the performances!!

I have such fond memories of watching the Olympics with my family I was growing up. What happened.

I bet when the Americans are doing their snowboarding crap we will get coverage. Grrrrrrr

The Olympics are supposed to be about international events, not just the few that are custom made for American's to get their medal count up.

Rant off, I am just pissed.

Anyone else getting a chance to see the Olympics broadcast live to where you are?
