If I can't get the video to go I don't care about ads. Our NBC affiliate has dwelled on the atmospheric conditions for far longer than the actual games and the viewers have apparently been very concerned. We don't have Phelps' coattails to ride and even though Kristin Anderson(?) LAPPED the others in the recent Twilight Criterium in Boise her spill and fall to 25th in her first race was another bummer. Phelps' 10,000 calorie diet was like an unintentional fart joke and NBC in general had no clue what to do with the athletes so they tried to turn it into The Office or Earl or make it just another NBC sitcom. I ould bet that the locals are much more reverent toward their hometown athletes. If you are doing okay, more power to you. Somebody has to. Not suave, Nico.

Since we hear the results on their news and it's delayed nobody has to actually watch it. Don may only be in their internet sales but you should ask him perhaps as ktvb.com has updates.
