Olympic Hockey

So it's the winter olympics again, right? And they're in Italy, which is 7 hours ahead of central time, which is all good. But I want to watch them live, and I can't. Instead, I get to wait until prime time when they'll show some highlights if I'm lucky. Well, take this, NBC! I've been going to eurosport.com and while I can't watch the games live, I can read the live commentary. So yesterday when USA tied Latvia (what the heck was that about, anyway? C'mon guys...) I knew it right away, and that I didn't need to watch the game that night, if it was even going to be on at all.

And while I'm on a rant, I'll throw this one in here, too. A major pet peeve of mine is when someone is having a problem, and they want advice, but then every idea is shot down as "tried it, won't work, not possible". As far as I'm concerned, once you've heard good ideas and refuse to even try them, I don't want to hear about the problem much anymore. Seems fair, right?
