Along the lines of “Well, if I were president, I’d like to share what I would do if I were in charge of NBC sports……………….
<Note: I’m in MN so all times will be couched in CST.>
<Note: I am picking and choosing my favorite sport. Please insert your own personal favorites in place of my personal favorites.>
{In the voice of whomever is in charge……}
I know that many of our viewers are aware of the results of all Olympic events. Due to the preponderance of results showing up on the internet and in radio broadcasts, I would like to announce the following alterations to NBC Olympic broadcasts:
[ul][list][list][li]First of all, we are going to begin announcing, at the top of our broadcasts, the medal winners in each sport that competed since our last broadcast.[/li]
[li]Our broadcasts will no longer pretend that the Games are occurring live.[/li]
[li]Most importantly, we will no longer interrupt an interesting and important airing of, for example, a volleyball match, with updates on water polo. What follows is an example of our proposed format:[/li]
[list][li]Equestrian cross-country rules and regulations, 6:00 to 6:05.[/li][li]Highlights of equestrian cross-country, 6:05 to 6:45.[/li][li]Eqestrian cross-country glurge 6:45 to 6:50.[/li][li]Low-lights of equestrian cross-country 6:50 to 6:55.[/li][li]Results of equestrian cross-country, 6:55 to 7:00.[/ul][/li]
[ul][li]Gymnastic rules and regulations, 7:00 to 7:10 {gymnastic rules cover several skills on several events, ergo the longer time period}[/li][li]Highlights of gymnastic events, 7:10 to 7:45.[/li][li]Lowlights of gymnastics, 7:45 to 7:50.[/li][li]Gymnastic glurge, 7:50 to 7:55.[/li][li]Results of gymnastic events, 7:55 to 8:00.[/ul][/li]
[ul][li]Bicycling rules and regulations, 8:00 to 8:05[/li][li]Highlights of bicycling event, 8:05 to 8:20[/li][li]Lowlights of bicycling event, 8:20-8:25[/li][li]Results of bicycling event, 8:25-8:30[/ul][/li]
[ul][li]Diving rules and regulations, 8:30 to 8:35[/li][li]Highlights of diving event, 8:35 to 8:50[/li][li]Lowlights of diving event, 8:50 to 8:55[/li][li]Results of diving event, 8:55 to 9:00[/ul][/li]
etc…………………………
The purpose of this scenario is to allow American fans, of all sports, to properly set the timers of their VCRs to tape only the sports they give a shit about.
All in favor, say “Aye!!!”. All opposed say “Nay!!!”, and give their reasons.
Lastly, I should state that while I started writing this thread a long time ago, I’m really drunk right now and it might not make sense.
