2. I really wasn't impressed with NBC's Olympic coverage

but they picked up F1 this year and haven't pissed off the racing fans so maybe there is hope for their football coverage. It's funny that you mentioned Dish, because I left Time Warner cable in September just so I could watch La Liga on Bein.

As far as Fox Soccer, I'm pretty bummed for what this will mean for the new US Women's league. I can't see NBC possibly covering anything except the Women's national team (which I think ESPN still has the rights to), so this might end up dooming the new league before it can start. I don't know how much the TV contracts play into the league finances, so hopefully I am wrong.

I'm really going to miss watching Sky Sports on Fox Soccer during the transfer windows, though. That was always good for a laugh.
