I used the NBC Sports app for Superbowl and it blanked out during commercials and there were quite a few moments of lag which was annoying. I have 100MB Fios up and down so it's not bandwidth on my end. Also some content on their NBC app required you have subs to access so I wasn't sure if all Olympic content would be available free. Thus that's why I'm looking for a paid one month sub just to get it all outright and not deal with the technical difficulties. Small price to pay.

Looks like I was right the first time. You can stream unlimited content on the NBC Sports app only if you're a paid TV subscriber.

funny, I don't see Russia returning their medals from the Moscow games

PS: Russia was never a threat to win the most gold medals anyways

Wrong. They are the biggest threat, and that is why they were banned this time.

can we all just take a moment to appreciate how ridiculous the russia trolls are?

Off course these countries did well. They had no real competition this time around! And by the way, don't forget your Canadians got their ass kicked in Hockey. The only sport that really matters. It's a shame beyond all shame, for Canada.. To lose... In HOCKEY. It's pathetic really.

Why are you calling me a "troll"? I am not a troll. I am saying that Russia was wrongly accused and targeted. There is plenty of athletes doping in United States and all over the world and they don't get punished. Why the double standard? Serena Williams is full of meds which are not legal for athletes, but has "special permissions". Somehow the Russian athletes are not allowed any "special permissions".

This whole thing is blown way out of proportion, and there's very little actual truth to any of this, if any. There is also no concrete proof at all. Just speculation, allegations and accusations. It's all based on comments by Rodchinkov who is actually a thief, criminal and a liar.

What happened to "innocent till proven guilty"? In case of Russia, you are clearly guilty by definition, and cant possibly be innocent.

well, let's see

I am saying that Russia was wrongly accused and targeted.

there's that, which is stupid on both grounds. The evidence is overwhelming that they're guilty as sin and why would they target Russia in the first place? Russia was never going to be the medal winner anyways.

There is plenty of athletes doping in United States and all over the world and they don't get punished.

and that, combining false equivalence and plain falseness

plenty of US athletes get punished and most importantly it wasn't STATE SPONSORED

and there's very little actual truth to any of this, if any.

and that, repeating denials over and over to try to make up for the fact that you're plain wrong. No matter how many times you repeat your lies, they're still lies.

There is also no concrete proof at all. Just speculation, allegations and accusations.

and that, the evidence was so overwhelming, it's clear the only evidence you would accept as 'concrete' is an official statement from the Russian government, and even then you would probably claim they were still actually innocent and they were only making the statement for some other purpose

when you are presented with the truth but continue to deny, that is what you makes a troll

What happened to "innocent till proven guilty"? In case of Russia, you are clearly guilty by definition, and cant possibly be innocent.

do you think we're stupid? they have been investigated over and over and found guilty over and over. they have had every opportunity to show their innocence but they haven't. because they can't

so they're reduced to using trolls like you to pretend nothing actually happened
