Dick Ebersol is stepping down as chairman of NBC Sports. 

[Diomedes]

New owners, new chiefs in each division.  Ho-hum.

even without ebersol nbc still overpaid for the olympics

they get the next 4 (russia, brazil and 2 undetermined sites) for 4 billion.

good job.

Does anyone care about the Olympics anymore? I shouldn't say anymore actually, because I don't think I ever cared to begin with. Sure, I'll root for the US to win most medals, and of course I'll watch the real sports (basketball, hockey, etc.), but people who are able to tell you who won the gold in the 1984 pummel horse need to be immediately pummeled. by a horse. I remember on Stump the Schwab back in the day, Schwab knew every answer to those questions and it drove me batty.

the olympics arent for you and me

they are for doris and mitch from des moines, iowa. they eat that shtein up.

we will be watching baseball and getting ready for football in summer and watching basketball in the winter. they know this and dont give a shtein.

[ice grillin you]

i dont even watch the real sports...ill watch more curling in the olympics than hockey and more water polo than basketball just because i dont give a farg who wins the gold medal...thus i have no rooting interest and i cant watch anything that i dont care about

really all the olympics is good for is to watch a few minutes every fours years of some stupid event that you find mildly interesting/amusing...and its really not even good for that...they could go away forever and no one would care

I enjoy the olympics. I know it's quaint, but I really enjoy athletic competition and when you mix competition with blind, jingoistic love of country (which I am also guilty of when it comes to sporting events) the Olympics are fun.

Having said that, I have skipped the last two winter olympics (with the exception of Hockey and Snowboarding half-pipes). But I'll watch almost anything in the summer Olympics with the exception of Gymnastics/Dancing/Synchronized Waterwhatever.

I only stop on the gymnastics to see the chicks calves to satisfy my leg fetish. That's it I swear.

[phattymatty]

i like the olympics...it's a reason to go out to the bar dressed in an uncle same hat like an idiot and fist pump with others bros about random sports no one really cares about. you stiffs take this shtein too seriously.

[DH]

[phattymatty]
