STOP TAPE DELAYING THE NETWORK!

So, today I was really really looking forward to watching three amazing hockey games. The first game was Russia v. Czech Republic, starting at noon on NBC. The second game is USA vs. Canada, starting at 4:30 on MSNBC. And then the third game is Sweden vs. Finland, starting at 9 on MSNBC. Awesome, right? This is a rematch of each of the last three gold medal games (1998, 2002, and 2006 respectively).

Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, that first game was picked up by the network, NBC. And since I live on the West Coast, and NBC is completely incompetant, they tape delayed it! Seriously, they tape delayed an entire hockey game for the West Coast...WHEN THE OLYMPICS ARE IN OUR TIMEZONE!!!! Unreal...

So the Russia-Czech game is on NBC right now...even though it ended over an hour ago with Russia winning 4-2. I know already, because it already happened.

NBC has single handedly ruined the epicness of Sunday's hockey schedule. Three highly anticipated matchups, and they can't even show us all of them live. Just obscene.

The Battle of California (a blog) posted the following picture. I felt it to be rather apt.



FUCK YOU NBC! I HOPE YOUR NETWORK FAILS AND ALL YOUR EXECUTIVES GO BROKE AND END UP ON THE STREETS!
