interesting collection. i disagree with the rank of nbc (though their coverage was quite rank)
they didn't get anywhere near medal status, but they made their bucks.
oh well... at least some deserve it...

Disagree with the "nicest moment." The nicest moment, of course, was when Sarah Hughes found out she won gold.

The biggest hype was Apolo. There were others who were classier, estblished world records, and won more metals.

Most blatantly outrageous act was depriving the Lithuanian ice dancers of a medal. Had they been Canadians, the results would have been changed in the blink of an eye. This once again indicated that ice dancing has no place in the Olympics.

For whining, I agree there was no topping Gretsky and the Russians. As for Canadians, they set the stage for whining during the last Olympics, demanding that their drugged up athlete get a medal -- which he did.

Didn't one of the snowboarders want to be on a box of Count Chocula? That was the high point of the games for me.

Note to NBC: Next Olympics in Greece, Send Costas to Italy. (Better yet, give the other networks a chance. In the past Rune Arledge & Company did a better job)

"...particularly U.S. skater Sasha Cohen, who handed hers to President Bush during the opening ceremonies and demanded he talk to her mother." I missed that. Did that make it into the daily dose of Dubya?
