Hail the internet age! It has never been easier to follow the action at the Olympics. Thanks to this year's venue in time-zone friendly Canada, US television network NBC is offering 835 hours of daytime and evening coverage over the next two weeks.
Another reason for NBC's beefed-up coverage is the heat NBC must be feeling from alternative media. The International Olympic Committee has banned athletes from acting as journalists during competition (whatever that means), but of course athletes are blogging and twittering away.
Apolo Ohno is a great skater and a great self-promoter.
Lindsey Vonn bakes banana bread while her shin heals.
Canadian Skeleton slider Mike Douglas confirms that those guys like excitement off the course as well as on. "Note to self: Just because you seem to have an unlimited supply of beer doesn't mean you should try to drink them all in 1 night."
