Any of you brainiacs know how the Olympics are doing in the ratings this year?

If you're doing a Nielsen survey, I have watched exactly zero minutes of the Olympics this year....

I was hoping to hear from peoples who pay attention to the Nielsen surveys.

Thanks, GSabc! Exactly what SteelersFan was looking for.

As usual, I didn't watch a lot of the winter Olympics. However, if we have a few more years where we actually have three different accumulations of snow in one year, I may become more of a fan of the snow and ice events. Maybe an event featuring MS drivers trying to negotiate an ice covered overpass would get some of the Nascar crowd to watch.
I felt the change

Time meant nothing and never would again
