Wow... I just don't get moving halfway around the world to blow off some very logical instruction. Carroll must've watched her performance with a heavy heart...Kelli Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009713326652591943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583562784288599702.post-73087132825096794782010-03-01T16:44:57.957-08:002010-03-01T16:44:57.957-08:00rumor has it (and a rumor is just a rumor) that ca...rumor has it (and a rumor is just a rumor) that carroll "fired" kostner (ala goebel) because she wouldn't consistently do full run-throughs. if that's true, i'm not surprised, given her results the past few seasons.jumping clapping manhttp://jumpingclappingman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583562784288599702.post-17529773298143009092010-03-01T15:07:11.199-08:002010-03-01T15:07:11.199-08:00Sorry, I left out something from my first post. I ...Sorry, I left out something from my first post. I was writing quickly. <br /><br />What I SHOULD have wrote was the fact that NBC-in it's infinite wisdom-chose not to show all of the ladies figure skating free program is the reason why I hope ESPN does win the rights to broadcast the games beginning in 2014.

I feel as if I were watching the skaters live the way you described them.<br /><br />Side note: the fact that NBC-in it's infinite wisdom; yes, I'm being sarcastic-is one of many reasons why I sincerely hope ESPN does win the American television rights bid for the 2014 and 2016 Olympics. Even though I LOATHE the way ESPN overhypes certain people-not to mention the acceptance/encouragement of classless, unsportsmanlike behaviour that ESPN happily promotes-at least according to an article on nytimes.com, should ESPN win the rights to the Olympics, they say they would broadcast the events live, in their entirety, regardless of time differential. So, up to a point, I could live with the major negative for a few positives.Blue Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974262890935355638noreply@blogger.com
