TeamStore Reactions: Olympic TV Coverage Enough with the dramatic stories, give us the Games Latest: Tuesday September 19, 2000 06:32 PM Mike Hewitt/Allsport Seems like everyone has a reason to bash NBC's coverage of the 2000 Summer Olympics. If it isn't the tape-delayed presentation that has viewers frustrated, then it's the long-winded melodramatic athlete biographies. We asked CNN/SI users what they thought of NBC's broadcast and judging by the response, they are less than pleased. Here's a small sample: During previous Olympics, I have gotten up early stayed up late and during the work week have gone so far as to schedule lunches or late afternoon meetings at sports bars in order to watch an event live and feel the drama that only a live broadcast can provide. This year, I pick up the sports page check results and only tune in to those events that I have special interest in. Maybe I should thank NBC for its lousy coverage because this year there are no conflicts with work and I don't spend all evening or weekend getting an Olympic fix. I'm cured. Dave Helberg
