I Hate The Internet

Maybe hate is too strong a word - it's not like if I saw the internet dying by the side of road I wouldn't stop to help out - but is anyone else pissed off that they can't get on the internet without seeing Olympic results before actually seeing the tape-delayed action on tv? A big reason, at least for me anyway, to watch sport is the unpredicatable nature of sport. We watch because we don't really know what's going to happen - unless it's UCLA vs. USC (I'm more than willing to bet that the Bruins will take this year's football game as I did last year) - right? Anyway, how hard can it be to just have the link say "Olympic Coverage" or "400 IM results" rather than "Phelps wins first gold in 400 IM"?
