NBC has drawn some heat for its controversial tape delayed Olympic coverage, and this is sure to add some heat to the fire. As a result of a production error, the men's bobsled from the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics never aired, and the network has chosen to subtly work it into this year's Vancouver Olympics.

"We just reviewed some past Olympic broadcasts to see what we could improve on," said one production assistant, "and someone discovered the 2002 men's bobsled never made it to air. A pretty big oversight. We're just hoping that when we finally get around to broadcasting it no one notices it's from eight years ago, or that it says 'Salt Lake City'  instead of 'Vancouver' on pretty much everything."

Luckily for NBC, Bob Costas hasn't changed his hairstyle in roughly 29 years, so there is little need to modify the studio reports for the event.
