NBC IMH - I'm gonna call it. Part II

In an effort to prove that he’s a “real” triathlete and not some “climber” or “poser,” within 35 minutes of the show starting, some asshole will bitch about not enough race coverage and too many human interests stories.

Let me give my response now: STFU you asshole. Go watch the boring ass ITU series or the other IM coverage on OLN.

I must be a climber because I can’t figure out how to be pissed off at beautiful shots of Kona and impressive athletes, as well as exposure of the sport to the general masses.

I’ve got my HDTV warmed up and ReplayTV on. Looking forward to seeing the action. Couldn’t be more excited.

Life is good.

You give people too much credit. The bitching will start before the swim does.

I think the bitching started before the webcast.

Ben, How is it if someone “bitches” about the coverage of IMH they’re A-holes yet you feel free to bitch about ITU races? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I also think there are too many “human interest” stories in the IMH coverage for MY tastes. I don’t think that makes me an A-hole. FYI, I don’t think you’re an A-hole for liking the human insterest stories in IMH coverage and thinking ITU racing coverage sucks.

It’s 4:07 pm EST and I’m seeing Nascar on NBC. Though IM Hawaii was supposed to be on???

Let’s get this Nascar bullshit off the t.v. They better not cut into Ironman, those bastards!

i’m with you. lets see some coverage. i think they’re gonna finish off the nascar race - i’ve got 3 to go. hopefully be by quick…

You know that this would happen. Stupid dudes can’t even drive a straight line. What’s up with three crashes in like 5 minutes. ARRRGGH!

White flag - final lap… :frowning:

no one can actually tell me that nascar isn’t better than watching IMH. One is a borefest the other a snoozefest. Actually I’ll watch w/out the sound just to look at bike porn.

In any case I’d prefer to see them respect the program/schedule… gotta go work and I reprogramed 7 times the taping already! :frowning:

not even the big league nascar, it’s the Busch league.

stop the damn celebrating nascar!

I wonder if they’ll edit out the entire bike leg like last year?

I’m already channel surfing for something else.

Buffy is on fox
.

it could, they could show it 2 times a year. Buffy eh???

Listen to you all. The problem is the way you are letting the information into your heads. Put this thing on mute right now and tell me and just *watch *images. It’s pretty incredible, NBC has cameras that are incredibly expensive, i’m pretty happy to be checking this out. By the way, DeBoom’s left arm is locked pretty bad when he runs. OK, back to the images.

I missed the webcast, I’m just happy to be able to see any of the race.

and just watch images.<<

Yes, isn’t Normann beautiful!! :wink:
