NBC Sucks - Preakness/Hockey

[Vlyrock]

Okay, so I just get done watching 3 exciting periods of playoff hockey (Buffalo vs Ottawa) and it's tied 2-2 and going to OT.

They decide to give the OT coverage to Versus (which I don't get) in order to show Preakness crap. Nobody cares about all the pre-race stuff...cut away when the race is about to start.

I officially hate NBC's coverage of sports...

Wow, I can't believe they did that :down: It even has the NBC logo on the Versus broadcast.

That sucks.

Better yet, earlier this year Versus cut off a hockey game that had gone into overtime to show infomercials instead.

[TwelfthAG]

Well, that makes sense. Infomercials are awesome :up:

They didn't always suck. Anybody remember these days?

The only time I remember hating them is when they interrupted one of the 1994 NBA Finals games to show the OJ Simpson Bronco chase.

That is not how you try to compete against the Goliath that is ESPN.

Your video doesn't run long enough....2 minutes after that spot, they say:

We interrupt the scheduled programming to bring you the conclusion of the women's international ice skating qualifying. The top 5 people advance to the Olympics qualifying to be held next year.

That's horsehockey!
