Sir Rols 1900 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Before the ceremony starts, I'd just like to make a tribute to Absent gamesBids friends. Eruduan, who sadly died in a car crash on the night of the Torino Opening Ceremony four years ago. And LA84, who passed away last year, and who I'm gonna really miss bantering with in the games discussions we'll be having over the next two weeks. Always enjoyed our discussions Todd! You guys would have been here with bells on. Miss you! Link to post Share on other sites
Ruling Czar 19 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 OH No! Justin just went bummer! It was the only streming video of the ceremonies I could get! can someone give me a link? Link to post Share on other sites
Tatsh 58 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Why LA84 went out? And what a shame for Eruduan, RIP. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1900 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Why LA84 went out? And what a shame for Eruduan, RIP. LA84 died of complications following a stroke last year. A sad loss to the board. Link to post Share on other sites
canuckfan 4 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I like NBC's accelerated course about Canada's history and geography Link to post Share on other sites
temo 1 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I like NBC's accelerated course about Canada's history and geography That was excellent! You could replace most of Social Studies with that one NBC primer on US/Canada. Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 yeah - I miss Todd (LA84) and Zeke (Eruedan), too We will award the LA84 and the Eruedan memorial medal to athletes after the Vancouver Olympics!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Mata 272 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Very anxious for the Brazilian broadcast... It will be the first time the Winter Olympic Games are broadcasted live on non-cable TV network in Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 599 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Saw the NBC part about Canada-USA relationship, very well done Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1900 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Saw the NBC part about Canada-USA relationship, very well done Sounds better than the pre-games line-up on Channel 9 here in Oz. Right now we've got a repeat of Gilligan's Island (I haven't seen that show in decades - I didn't realise how crap it was!) Link to post Share on other sites
nykfan845 51 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hehe, some nice Canadian butt-kissing there. Just kidding. And yes, I wish Eruedan and Todd were here. The thoughts of them are making me wistful. Link to post Share on other sites
temo 1 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Why is CTV showing this fool in a hot tub? Link to post Share on other sites
NY20?? 98 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Ahhhhhhhh... for the all the critiscm NBC gets, they're outstanding at producing those kinds of segments. This one about Canada-US relations was very compelling and touching. Link to post Share on other sites

cormiermax 89 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) CTV is doing an awful job, went to some kind of much party in whistler showing people taking body shots and striping for beer... Edited February 13, 2010 by cormiermac Link to post Share on other sites
Tatsh 58 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 just one hour Link to post Share on other sites
temo 1 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I hope this isn't CTV's idea of cross-promoting their brands by switching between their different outlets on the main CTV channel. They better not do this during the ceremonies or I could end up watching NBC instead. Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 On ARD they are talking with two former German athletes: Markus Wasmeier (Alpine Skiing) and Katharina Witt (Figure Skating) right now and then they are short reports about the preparations/trainings in the different sports (e.g. downhill women, luge etc. etc.) LOL _ they are just talking about Vonn's funny try not to be esteemed as favourite...

cormiermax 89 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 If CTV cuts to much one more time im going to NBC. Link to post Share on other sites
NY20?? 98 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 And the traditional opening intro introducing the host region and athlete stories was just as well-done... less than an hour to go now. I think I'll be back during the Parade. Link to post Share on other sites
