[From *USA Today*](http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/mccarthy/2006-02-14-mccarthy-oly%5Fx.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com):

> \[O\]ver five days of coverage so far, NBC (with the exception of *Today*) has yet to mention the Shroud of Turin. Whether you venerate the Shroud as the actual burial cloth of a crucified Jesus of Nazareth or dismiss it as a clever medieval forgery, it's odd NBC has ignored one of world's most mysterious, and controversial, religious artifacts.

I don't know what to think of the silence, but do we really want NBC talking about it? If they gave it extensive coverage--say, a three-person roundtable--you know what we'd get: an atheist skeptic, a neutral moderator, and (for the Catholic side) a former Catholic seminiarian who is now Episcopalian. And if they gave it brief coverage, could they really do it justice?
