Honestly, I don't think it is a case of "wanting" the games to fail, but "expecting" there to be issues.
Concerns over weather and protesters were identified years ago, and unfortunately have come to pass.
The
GREEN! Olympia machine is just hilarious bad luck. The cauldron failure was comical. The only outright failure from VANOC was the design of the luge/bobsled track and the inability to deal with safety concerns raised until after someone lost their life. But hell, Calgary could easily have suffered the same fate - Chinook winds sent a ski jumper into a camera bay.
Overall, I think the commentary is teasing as much as anything else. But, as the ESPN article showed, a lot of us have great difficulty laughing at ourselves.
