7. Also, they can't seem to get past the minor technical glitch in an otherwise stellar opening
ceremony. They seem obsessed with it, covering it over and over.

11. Only NBC, I guess
It has never been mentioned on Canadian coverage after Saturday morning. Canadians are long over it, in fact, it never was a big thing here - just shows we know how to reprogram a computer to 3 pillars from the original 4, which Americans seem not to understand. Apparently, Americans have never gotten over it, but Canadians sure have. Cariona LeMay-Doan, Senator Nancy Greene, Rick Hansen, Steve Nash, and Wayne Gretzky all had an earpiece and they were getting info all through it from the show's produceer in the control room, and according to Senator Nancy, they knew very quickly what was wrong and what the work around (reprogramming for 3) was going to be.

9. CBC
And CBC isn't even the host broadcaster. CTV is.
