Has anyone else watch almost none of the Olympics at all??

[Mr. Pedantic]

I've watched a whopping zero seconds.

Ditto. Of course, it doesn't help that I haven't watched any TV at all for the past month and a half since we've had no plugged-in TV for the last month and a half...

I watched the beach volley ball for women but other then that, no, I didn't watch much of it.

Entertainment. Hockey is more like Fight Club. I like Skiing and snowboarding. I also like to beat people up underground (or pretend to).

You know, it's ok to admit you're wrong.

FYI, there is no fighting in hockey in the Olympics. And you obviously know nothing about hockey.

I watched some retarded crap where a buncha guys were skiing and then started sniping stuff. That's about it.

In Norway they call that a drive by shooting.

The Olympics had a place at one time - now it's just another sporting event without much draw to it....

 

[Hacp]

There are really only a few actual sports in the winter olympics. Hockey and speed skating are the only two that seem like sports. The rest are classified as either x-games, dancing, or "How did that get into the Olympics?"(curling).

I have watched all the prime time stuff and most of the late night stuff too. I'm not as cool as all you studs but I will stick with my life.

 

[rudeguy]

I haven't watched a single event..

Its also worth noting that none of the roughly 800 customers I talked to this past month, maybe 2 brought up the Olympics.

Well, it's not about being cool - but is it really worth the time/your time watching it...

Is it worth noting? I mean, would you expect customers to talk about the olympics?

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I watched some at night when I was home. For some reason at my gym the Olympics were only on one screen by the machines and the free weight section just had crappy music videos playing.

 

[Train]

a few hockey games, and thats about it.

The majority of them are ordering cable

 

[sandorski]

I've watched almost everything. Coverage here goes almost 24 hours(I can confirm 16 hours straight, but haven't bothered checking TV schedules for the other 8 hours). Some events I don't pay as much attention to and just have on in the background.

Been a great Winter Olympics, but other than the Men's Hockey Finals a closing ceremonies, I'll be glad when it's over.

 

[Riceninja]

there is nobody i know that hasnt watched at least 10 hours of the games

Coverage of the sports that appealed to the most people was on NBC. Hockey, curling, cross country skiing and biathlon were on cable channels. Anyone who watches hockey would probably need cable anyway. It doesn't surprise me that people aren't ordering cable just to watch the Olympics.

TV ratings for the Olympics have been very good.

If it weren't for that guy dying, I don't think anyone I know would even be aware that the games are on.

why so grumpy?

 

[xanis]

I watched downhill speed skating for about 15 minutes while I did cardio at the gym. Besides that, I watched absolutely none of the Olympics.

 

[GhettoFob]

I watched about 15 minutes.

 

[speg]

I've probably watched ~9 hours a day

 

[eldorado99]

No wonder you didn't watch much of the Olympics if the best you got of it was the US/Finland game, that game sucked ass.

 

[dighn]

i actually watched a lot despite not being a fan of sports. it's more about national pride. sometimes u gotta go with the flow.

The USA-CAN Men's Hockey game was the most fun I've ever had watching a sporting event. It was just exciting from start to finish and didn't seem to have a dull moment.

The Men's Hockey tournament this year has been mostly outstanding of what I've seen. Slovakia pulling off upsets and pushing Canada to the brink was great to watch. I wish RUS had been better in the game vs CAN, it should have been super exciting.

I watched part of the ladies figure skating, it's amazing how easy they made it look at least during the routine. It's just amazing how composed they are when they do what they do.

I haven't watched any curling, unlike 2006 where I was absolutely hooked and watched as much as I could. It kinda makes me sad, but timing hasn't worked out.
