It's hard enough and NBC isn't helping



It's hard enough for people to get excited about the Olympics and NBC is going out of their way to make it harder for us to learn about out athletes.
They show the United States Track and Field Championships at 11 pm on the USA Network.
The trials and tribulations that our men and women go through to get on the team is beyond our normal comprehension.
They have been working for four years and so many of them miss by a hundredth of second.
The Olympics is a bonus...the trials that are happening right now are the true test.
It doesn't get any better than this and unless you have a DVR player or stay up really late you won't have any idea of the efforts being put forth.
NBC has chosen not to show these athletes in prime time and they will be the same people moaning when the numbers are there during the actual games.
The Olympics start on August 8....but right now is the make and break moments for our track stars and our swimming stars.
Tune in this weekend and watch the stories unfold and I promise you that it will increase your 2008 Olympic experience.
