News Flash: New Hampshire native Bode Miller finishes 5th in Olympic Downhill Skiing. Teammate Daron Rahlves, the pre-race favorite, crosses the line in 10th place.
Teddy’s Take: Expect NBC to play up this event big-time during tonight’s coverage. Franconia Notch’s Miller is the USA’s marquee men’s name at these games and his anti-establishment nature makes for great television. Unfortunately, the fact we already know the results does not make for great television, especially when the top Americans fail to win.
Which begs the question; would you prefer NBC show the drama unfold live no matter what time of day or are you o.k. with viewing the pre-packaged storyline during prime time?
What's your take?
I do not think most people prefer watching a sporting event that theoretically already happened. I'd much see it live myself, but we work Ted.........and post here. But do you think the people who aren't working would give up Jerry Springer and Oprah for The Flying Tomato? Now that's the real question.
