I've been watching the Olympics this week, and while internet live-streaming has made the myriad of sports more accessible than ever, it still feels like broadcasting these events hasn't caught up to technology.

Between logging into NBC's website multiple times, confusingly labeled streams (last night's snowboarding qualifier had "standard," "enhanced," and "primetime" versions of the same event), irrational tape delays, and the same series of six ads airing in rotation, it feels like there must be a better way to do this.

In other words, I guess I'm asking: where's the NFL RedZone of the Olympics?
