Welcome to a new feature for those of us who aren’t content with what we get on the networks. We want Olympic sports! We want cricket!
And curling. Plenty of curling.
There’s no way to be comprehensive. But I’ll pick a few good events to check out.
I thought about calling it “Wide World of Webcasts,” but I really don’t want copyright lawyers on my tail.
With that, here’s Week 1 …

Paralympics: NBCSN will have a few hours a day, and NBC will pick up some action on the final day Sept. 18.
But we go hard-core here. Want three track and field feeds? About 12 hours of wheelchair basketball a day? Check TeamUSA.org and enjoy. Note the twice-daily highlight shows.
World Cup of Hockey: ESPN3 brings plenty of action from the sort-of national teams: USA, Russia, North America, Europe, Sweden …
