One more link -- if you strongly prefer Firefox, there are some

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/114210/how-do-i-watch-protected-flash-videos-such-as-on-nbcolympics-com-using-linux

It involves installing HAL on your system, which I'm not willing to do
right now -- seems a pretty dirty solution.
