Olympic coverage

Since the Olympics started, I have tried to watch them a little. However, the only station that seems to have coverage is one of the BBC channels (my cable has mostly UK channels, not Irish ones) and they are on "intermission" a lot in Ireland. So, I haven't seen any coverage since the one time it was on, it was on the NBC European station and it was just interviews, no sports.

Today, John wanted to show me a clip of the American snowboarder who tried to do a trick jump, fell, and got a silver instead of a gold medal. When we found the clip on ESPN, after watching a dumb commercial, it said that the clip could only be viewed by people in the U.S. So we went to the bbc's website and found the clip there. When we selected it to view it, it said it could only be viewed by people in the UK! We then tried to think of an Irish news website. We found one and looked at their sports section. The Olympics were in the bottom right corner, the last link. The rugby tournament was the lead story. Ireland is playing somebody but I don't recall who. Anyway, we hit the link for the Olympic coverage and it was one page with stories as old as Tuesday and a tiny one from yesterday. So basically, the Olympics don't really exist here. Rugby and soccer are king here.
