Dolfan in NYC Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You can definitely say the honey in Sochi is the freshest you'll ever find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 What's absolutly great about the stuff coming out of Sochi, was that a local NY NBC reporter is out there, and totally selling the story that the horror stories are all overblown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hmm, playing around on NBC Sports site, it looks like the streaming stuff isn't going to be as easy to find as previously, since they're doing it all through LiveExtra this year instead of a seperate set of apps.

Death From Above Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Fishing in the toilet? And WTF is going on in the last pic--someone shooting up? The hell? I asked about the last one myself and no one seems completely sure what the hell it is. Eventually we concluded it's a syringe, but if you squint with it next to the fishing one it kinda looks like a guy holding a fish and preparing to throw it, which is way funnier.

Death From Above Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This is too great: Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister responsible for the Olympic preparations, reflected the view held among many Russian officials that some Western visitors are deliberately trying to sabotage Sochi's big debut out of bias against Russia. "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day," he said. An aide then pulled a reporter away before Mr. Kozak could be questioned further on surveillance in hotel rooms. "We're doing a tour of the media center," the aide said.

Death From Above Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There's ~figure skating~ on in Canada as we speak. It's weird being able to watch stuff before the games even "start". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's what annoyed me about the last Summer Games streams. They wouldn't stream the Opening Cerimony because it was Prime Time, then they acted like the stuff they were saving for Prime Time wasn't going to be shown... then they backtracked on it and we got everything streamed live.

Joe Lucia Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That Olbermann monologue last night was so well done, but it made me feel very uncomfortable - which was the point, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My wife was at one point an aspiring figure skater, so this is going to rule over my TV for the next two weeks.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I can't even find a decent online schedule. NBC's Olympic site is confusing. Is it only NBC that is showing these games? No CNBC or USA? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 TV Listings on the NBC site. You have to enter your ZIP and provider to actually get to the schedule though. All the Universal stations (NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC, NBCSports) are showing stuff, some stuff live (9 hour time difference), Major stuff in Prime Time presented spoiler free if you managed to avoid all social media and results. Everything streamed on the NBC site live, so long as you figure out how to navigate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Here it's on CTV, CBC, TSN, TSN2, and Sportsnet. All in glorious HD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Okay yeah I think I'll figure this out but boy the time thing is going to be a killer. 9 hour difference. That's rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Okay yeah I think I'll figure this out but boy the time thing is going to be a killer. 9 hour difference. That's rough. I love the difference. I would much rather be able to watch live in the middle of the night, when I am actually free to watch, than when everything is going on during the workday. Hardly the first time I've lived off practically no sleep for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Love how the venue is called the ICE CUBE Curling Center. As for Jennifer Jones, she definitely has the curling version of "fuck it, I'm going deep". *sigh* If only Rachel Homan's team didn't have such a crap week at the trials.

Trev Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The one thing that would put the Sochi bathrooms over the top would be if they installed the three sea shells from Demolition Man into them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
