The website is a USA Today production that will be Sports on Earth, where Posnanski is the big name, but other writers like Leitch and Mike Tanier will be on staff as well. > Everyone seems to be putting the onus on Twitter here, when it's > really the entire Web. Twitter makes it easy to complain, and the complaints multiply on themselves. Grumbling on a list like this is unlikely to have an effect unless someone in a position to address a complaint happens to see it. As it happened, Tuesday night exemplified the problem perfectly. I was watching the Pirates-Cubs game, where A.J. Burnett had a no-hitter going. During breaks, I'd flip over to NBC, which usually had gymnastics when it didn't have its own commercials. I knew that [SPOILER ALERT] the USA had won the gold, and then I'd switch back to the ballgame, where I didn't know what was going to happen. I much preferred the live broadcast. > The catch is that NBC wants to play both sides of the fence here. > Their official site, nbcolympics.com, is a full spoiler. There is to > the best of my knowledge no way to avoid that. Seems easy to me. I've avoided it, not because I care about spoilers, but because I don't care about that site. The major result of all this is that I find I don't care much about the Olympics, either. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
