Maybe the best way to cut through all the spin and counterspin on the Olympics is this:
Last week, NBC was saying it would lose money on the Olympics.
Yesterday, it said it might break even.
Today, the network is saying it could turn a profit on the $1.18 billion investment.
"Yeah, we think there's a small chance, a chance we could make a little bit of money over the next couple of weeks," Mark Lazarus, chairman of the NBC Sports Group, said in a conference call from London Thursday when asked if the network might turn a profit on the games.
