For all the complaining about NBC's coverage, their curling coverage was that much more baffling. It has to be advertising pressures, but they would consistently go to commercial at the close of each end and then after the 3rd or 4th rock of each end. That is the equivalent of baseball coverage going to commercial after the first at bat of each inning, of football coverage going to the sponsors when it's 2nd and 5. Sometimes, you'd return to the rink and there would only be 4 stones left in the end and you'd wonder what the heck just happened. Bizarre...
