NBC is a disgrace. Its coverage of the Olympics hit an all-time low with these games. That it interrupted its coverage of the closing ceremony tonight to pimp its new Jerry Seinfeld show was just the cherry on top of a crap-tastic sundae.
Unfortunately we will have to live with NBC again in London 2012, but I'm hoping that another network outbids them to host the 2014 Sochi games. NBC's coverage - the lack of coverage and the obsessive coverage of some athletes while ignoring others - is disrespectful to all of the athletes who work so hard to get there. The IOC should care who it is awarding broadcast licenses to and ensure that the awarded networks are doing their part to promote the games and its athletes.
