Thanks Yahoo for putting this on the main page, and being a spoiler. Since most of us don't get to watch the olympics until the evening, I guess you think it's best if you take all the mystery out of delayed Olympic broadcasts and just telling us who won, without giving Yahoo users the option of deciding if they want to click on an Olympics news link.

Is that really Yahoo's fault? I'd venture to say that it is NBC's ineptitude that is the root cause of all this. After all, with the Olympics being held in Vancouver, it's not like there is a significant time difference for the people living in the United States. It could have broadcast the event on the NBC main channel, but instead, they decided a repeat of The Martha Stewart Show would be more interesting.
