High Noon: It’s The Spoiler Games

So there’s this brand new event at the London summer Olympics. The 100-meter spoiler dash. It’s easy, and you can play, too. As soon as you hear the outcome of an Olympic event — preferably one involving an American medalist, in a high-visibility event that will air during NBC’s after-the-fact prime-time coverage — just dash to your smartphone, tweet out the results or post them on Facebook. Yes, you will annoy your friends. Just make it up to them later. You’re going for gold! OK, I’m kidding. I’m resorting to satire because I’m not exactly breaking any news/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Do you try to avoid learning about the results of high-profile competition in the Olympics before you see the tape-delay NBC programming at night? Are you successful in doing so?
