OT (Olympics Spoiler alert)

Nice to see her not lose this due to injury. USA!

WHISTLER, British Columbia -- Lindsey Vonn of the United States, fighting off an injured right shin, won the women's Olympic downhill on Tuesday -- the first of five races she plans to enter at the Vancouver Games.

I think the title should have a spoiler alert and not mention that she won gold. NBC and their disastrous coverage is showing it tape delayed in prime time.

Spoiler?

NBC has been tape-delaying a lot of this stuff (see also: Why NBC Sucks at Life).

Didn't know if this made the airwaves yet.

Either way, GO USA!!!

Oh yeah, Americans are super tough. Hey world, in case you forgot, we're really super tough. Our women win gold medals with serious injuries to their legs, and I suppose that makes them, and by proxy...us, (you guessed) very freakin' super tough.

Stephen Colbert is awfully proud!!

Teammate and childhood rival

Teammate and childhood rival follows closely, in second. USA takes gold and silver.

Good call on the Spoiler Alert though. I didn't know why NBC wasn't showing it. Then I remembered it was NBC, and they always screw it up. You can't hold things off for primetime anymore. The internets have too much reach.

Oops sorry about the spoiler. Didn't realize it wasn't on TV yet. Just came across the article at ESPN.

NBC is killing the joy of watching the Olympics with their tape delay tactics.

At some point, the whole Tape Delay thing becomes absurd. They're in CANADA, not freaking Italy or Japan......

This is true.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I was just a young jackass. I took great pleasure in spoiling the ending of women's gymnastics. People didn't think i was serious when I told them a crippled ass Kerri Strug would land that vault and win the gold.

Most of the State of Michigan had CBC and could have seen it live if they really wanted to, so I didn't really feel that badly about it. I think this was the year they had the Red, White, and Blue channels that had various other olympic coverage as well.

I appreciate

the spoiler warning, although I assume the folks on this website also regularly check ESPN and SI.com, and they have it splashed across the front page. In this day and age, it's pretty hard to not find out the results of any major sporting event.

Which makes NBC's coverage all the more ridiculous. Although the fact that I know which events are worth watching in advance makes it that much easier to determine if it's worth taking in NBC's mawkish bullcrap for the evening. You hear me Jimmy Roberts....

The stupid thing isn't that

The stupid thing isn't that they tape delay. Lets be honest, a repackaging of the action from earlier in the day is worth it, especially if done right (I know, this is NBC we're talking about)and it keeps us from having to see the 20th ranked men's figure skater.

My problem is why they act like there's no way people already know the result and refuse to show live anything they plan on featuring in prime time. I guarantee that there are far more people that know the result already but wouldn't have been able to actually see live coverage than would see action live during the workday. All these people that already know the results are still turning in, don't they think the people that have actually already seen the live action might still watch as well?

Exactly

They never had control of the media (anyone remember 1980 hockey results before the broadcast, with local news spoiler warnings?), and it's a completely absurd notion now. So go with what you DO have. Footage. Milk it. Show it live during the day. Because if you're watching it then, you're not going to be mad that it's also on later. And just don't say what happened at night, in case someone doesn't know. You're not spoiling yourself by airing it live, because people already know anyway if they so chose.

good work NBC

I was just watching the Red Wings(aka Sweden)/Germany hockey match on MSNBC and in the MIDDLE of the second period they say "ok, well our coverage is about to end, so make sure to tune into CNBC to catch the rest of the game."

First of all, I have NEVER watched a sport and had to change the channel to see the rest of the game. And secondly, the game wasn't even on CNBC! They were showing curling... 30 minutes of curling before the game even resumed (obviously now tape delayed).

NBC, you peaked at Seinfeld. Now go away.
