You know what, cohete tells co-workers not to say anything. Cohete doesn't listen to sports radio during day, cohete doesn't visit any sports website during olympics.

Its not easy, but it can be done. Living proof.
This is a sports website. And it's front page news on Yahoo, so don't check your email.

Then avoid yahoo, msnbc, cnn and any other news or sports or general information website.
All you cryers should know to stay away from sports sites (that includes sports sections of message boards).

shutup.

i click new posts, it shows all new posts, that is how i read this forum.

it was obvious from the thread title what happened. i knew whether i read the thread or not.

i've been on this forum every day throughout the olympics, nothing has been spoiled for me from that. i read espn.com every day but move straight to the baseball and basketball sections, nothing has been spoiled. i have read the news websites you mentioned, but went straight to the financial section. i listen to sports radio on the way home every day, they only talk about local teams.

the only time i had anything spoiled was when i was looking up when they are showing the gymnastics floor event finals. it's not like this is a news site, would have been pretty easy to put up a different title, say spoiler alert, anything.

This is BS. It's on the front page of every major media site, as well as in any news broadcast. If you truly aren't accessing any media at all to keep your watching spoiler-free, yet are still in the Sports section of the AO, then you are an idiot.
