Man, I can't wait to get home and watch the downhill. It's gonna be rad!

/talks on huge cell phone
I can't wait to see it, and I have to wait. Because it's 1988, dude! They tape-delay everything, and you have to go home and watch it after you get the kids to stop playing that crazy Super Mario Brothers game!
/cranks "Look Away" by Chicago
/puts on aviator shades
See, it's not like NBC has four channels or something like that where they could show live content throughout the day. I mean, HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE ALL THAT CHOICE? It'd be too much, like having more than two choices besides Coke and Pepsi. I mean, that sounds as crazy as buying coffee you didn't make at home every day?
/thinks about Ronald Reagan
/pays for everything with personal checks
Airing it live? Man, you're crazy sometimes.
I can't imagine a better way of doing things. After all, it's 1988! Tape delay is the only way to watch the Olympics, since there's no other way to find out the results of competition that happened through the day. What, like a tube that brought information into my house that I could access anytime? Man, that's as crazy as the zany cast of characters on the hit sitcom Night Court! Markie Post is going places, man!
/turns on Zenith that looks like a piece of furniture
/opens Bud Ice
But watching them live? Whenever you want? That's crazy talk, man.

but what i dont understand
nbc will show 32200 hours during the summer but only 835 for the winter. crap i want to watch the events live and not read them on the internet on who won. that pisses me off.

And of those 835 hours...
…820 will be figure skating or some variation thereof.
Speaking of which, what the hell is ice dancing??

Ice dancing is another excuse to rip our souls out once they’ve finished with figure skating.

It's a way...
…for your wife/girlfriend/significant other to say they are watching “Sports” and force you to watch because its “Sports”. This time then gets deducted from your true Sports TV watching budget.

"Look Away," Ronald Reagan, and Markie Post
Damn, I miss the ’80s!
Seriously, Markie Post was hot.
Go 'Dawgs!
