Remember the day's when you received good coverage free to air TV.
If you want the same it will cost you $65 bucks Foxtel

Agree, Eddie is just pathetic.

Bring back SBS, they showed every event, regardless if an Aussie was in it.

good on the Aussies for having a crack, but I still want to see the whole competition pan out and see the best in the world in action.

I tuned in for first time last night - don't think i'll bother again. There's 2mins of Olympics for every 5mins of ads.

At least I got to sleep easily. Ads are so boring.

hey saussage thats a pi55a...
comments like..
hahah thats the funniest read all week!!!!

"Its The Footy Snow

"Eddie, go home and never ever come back ... and while you're at home you might want to consult a few psychologists to get yourself sorted out ... You're a wanker."

" Useless homophobic piece of crap."

"He wrecked the Masters as well"

"I'm sick and tired of this Melbourne boys club which seems to dominate our networks - Channel 9 should be ashamed. AND to employ MICK MOLLOY a failed actor, puffy faced coke snorting wanker, Good one Channel 9, clearly Eddie bent someone over the boardroom desk to get this position"

"Absolute knob. Cant understand how anyone likes this douche bag. He thinks he is funny,but clearly not. He has also ruined triple M"


" Eddie should go back to joining about the toothless freaks at collingwood and leave other sports alone!"

I just figured it out. PBL (who partly own 9) are 50% owners of Fox Sports. So, by putting on a poor excuse of Olympic coverage on 9, they up their earnings by people signing up to Fox. Eddie is a disgrace, but he's raking on the dough from his PBL shares...

" he failed at running a network, let alone commentate on one"

mm i thought i was annoyn and people hated me!!!!

If he taps his kn pen one more kn time to make his kn point!!!!!!!!!



The halfpipe stuff is troooly orsum!! For a seppo the yank winner was tops. Go bluey (wonder if he gets Fanta pants?). So fluid and smoove on his runs and the height balance was amazing - forget about how many rolls/turns etc he was throwing - he made it look like making a cup o' tea.

The moves the girls do are kn tops too - they aren't that far behind at all.

Kiteboarders take note - this is the fluid and super-styled m.o. dingle danglers should be aiming for.

did anyone else notice the Half Pipe winner actually took off from the top and went full belt into the pipe? No-one else did as far as I could see, perhaps it's scary 25ft above an icy pipe!

Fearless sun of a biatch...eeessssss

All this talk about the snowboarding

Makes me wonder when we will see freestyle motorcross or skateboard halfpipe action in the summer olympics?

After reading stuff on yank forum I thought there may have been some snowkite cameo appearances, but alas not yet.
