NBC's Olympic Coverage: Bad

Sure, there are some interesting special effects, like showing the "ghost" of one skier racing against another, or the moving line a skater has to beat to take home the gold medal; but for the most part, it's bad sports journalism that feels like a reality TV show.

This New York Times article gets at what's wrong with NBC's coverage:
