Peacock and the Olympics

I can't believe I'm writing this, but NBC finally figured out the Olympics.

Not the primetime feed. It's unwatchable. In prime time, the simpering announcers want you to think every American athlete is your best friend. It's gross.

If you get a one-month subscription to Peacock, though, it's different, and it's only $13.99 for the ad-free version.

Every event. Every sport. If you watch replays, no commercials. 10X less jingoism, too. 

The streams even work consistently. I've watched 10+ different sports and had no problems with stream quality. It's all been very pleasant.

It took a few decades, but well done, NBC.
