Olympics: Opening Ceremonies
Feb. 11th, 2006 12:01 amOkay, all of you who are bored by sports in general and the Olympics in particular can go away now. I'm likely to be writing about my reactions to the XX Winter Olympics for the next couple of weeks. I like sports, and I like the Winter Olympics, so there.
( Much Spectacle, Well Delivered )
Of course, I'm nine hours behind Italy, so all of this actually happened hours before I saw it. I'll be dodging news of the games all day in hopes of being able to see the events without knowing the results in advance in the evening. And, assuming NBC does something similar to the last Olympics, I'm going to missing a lot of sleep watching sports on CNBC/MSNBC/USA, while NBC itself devotes itself mostly to "occasional continuing coverage of the US Olympic Team between interminable human-interest stories repeating how many hardships the athletes had to overcome.
