By the way, I sure hope people watched all the figure skating events on NBC. It was far superior in every way to CTV. NBC made the Joanne Rochette story the emotional, inspirational centerpiece of not just skating but the entire Games themselves. No one does the emotional montages better than NBC.

I happened to watch the NBC repeat of the women's figure skating around 4am after I got back from work. I could tell the male commentator was getting teary eyed as his voice was starting to squeak.
As for the games I do feel it was one of the best if not the best thing to ever happen for this city and Country. I feel the torch relay and how they did it was one of the smartest things. It got people in the mood.
Also big FU as well to the negative press. Although I do understand nothing goes perfect and so you expect it in someways. At the same time you need t also show the good stories.
Question to everyone.
If before the start of the games someone had shown you a picture of how people were reacting during the games and towards the end. Would you have believed it?
