Winter Olympics: Spoiler Screwgie
The worst part about the Olympics being mostly on Tape Delay is finding out the results ahead of time without wanting to. That happened to me and my roommate/Olympic-watching-buddy Fyall with the Men's 5000M speed skating final. So what could have been an exciting 45 minutes turned into mildly interesting background noise. We ended up watching more Gonzaga-Stanford.
Can't ESPN.com have a button you can press to block Olympic results from the front page until the morning after? Wouldn't that be fairly easy to do?
And they're no excuse for NBCOlympics.com giving away results. Isn't that counter-productive? I watched less Olympics today because I knew the results.

Most exciting event of the day was the surprisingly delightful Nordic Combined. Ze German, Georg Hettich led after the ski jumping and held off four other athletes on the ski course to win it. Also, an American, Todd Lodwick finished 8th. The only disappointment came from Estonia, which couldn't do any better than 33rd. Lame.
