Sometimes it's good to live in Bermuda. The powers that be at the Bermuda Broadcasting Corporation, have in recent years wised up to the fact that the American TV networks are so biased in their international sports coverage, and made the decision some time ago to combine feeds from the American provider and the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).
This gives us viewers the chance to watch Canadians and people from other countries during the majority of the time and the occasional sputterings from Dick Button and the jingoism that NBC has made not just famous but practically a motto. It was especially useful during the women's snowboard cross final where I wouldn't have had a clue what happened to Canadian Maelle Ricker who took a serious tumble if I was left to the NBC feed alone. Thank goodness.
Now if only we could garner some coverage from a network in Europe, we'd be all right.
I'm enjoying what little I have seen of the Games. The sport of curling has grown on me. So it's shuffleboard on ice, but still, there's a lot of drama and the people that follow the sport, they sure get into it.
