There is they can show live dude. They've just choosen not to show things adn tape delay them. But yeah, you're brilliant pointing out time zones. NBC must have warped space time to show every swimming event live that they did.How many things do you think they run at 8-11 AM to coincide with our primetime? Look at a map and figure out the concept of timezones...
It sort of sucks that they do not cover other sports as much. I'd like to see some weight lifting, TKD, Judo, and maybe some wrestling, instead of Rowing or Equestiran(sp), I mean come on.
Other than that I'll catch some Gymnastics if it is still available to watch. Badminton and Tennis, as well as Track & Field whenever I can catch those.
Phelps. They knew it was coming. You think that schedule was an accident?
NBC is going to show things that they think will draw US viewers, whether it's live or tape delayed. That means heavy doses of swimming, short distance (< 1500M ) track events, women's gymnastics, and men's b-ball. If you're a fan of trap shooting or equestrian, other sources of televised events have been given. NBC paid major bucks and wants to get their money back, which means luring viewers, by whatever means.
I understand all that - doesn't mean i have to like it
You wouldn't be happy without something to about Manny. You should write NBC a thank you note.I understand all that - doesn't mean i have to like it
Uh, you?You wouldn't be happy without something to about Manny. You should write NBC a thank you note.
Blind spot much?
Yeah... Table tennis
Dude is 21, has only been running the 100m since March, and I reckon he'll break 9.5 before he's finished. He hasn't run more than 80m yet! I've never seen anyone run that fast so easily... baby, he was Born to Run!
As for other amazing athletes, how about that Russian pole vaulter Isinbaev - 24 world records! Nailed the 5.05m last night with ease. She isn't finished either.
They just showed her here a bit ago. Its nuts.Dude is 21, has only been running the 100m since March, and I reckon he'll break 9.5 before he's finished. He hasn't run more than 80m yet! I've never seen anyone run that fast so easily... baby, he was Born to Run!

do you fellas also get no brains commentating also?
a majority of them are not even experts or dont even know wtf they are talkin about, and most of them are homers when talkin about their own athletes
What's the story with that man in the stands getting upset with a female athlete recently? I figure it was a coach or father, but I thought I remembered hearing she won a silver and he was pissed and chewing her out.
It's crazy that China has almost 20 more gold Medals than the US.

I guess that shows the importance of home cooking?
Man watching LoLo Jones tonight was pretty heart breaking. She was destroying the field until she hit the 9th hurdle. You could tell she held her composure as best she could through the interview and then when she was in the tunnel of course they show her on TV while she's obviously crying. They should have let her have a moment alone there, not put her on national TV.
I agree, it was hard to watch. She did do well in the interview, they really should have left her alone. I guess it's the agony of defeat angle for the ratings.
I agree as well. I felt very bad for her...more than anyone else who lost in the Olympics.
Uh, he's only been running the 100M since March, has already broken the WR twice, and the former sprinter announcer said he could have gone 9.59 if he didn't break form in the last 20M. In addition, he's a lousy starter out of the blocks right now. I'd say he's probably got a 50/50 chance to be the first man to 9.5.
Bolt: World Record in 200m!!
He is not breaking 9.5, you can rule that out right now.
I've watched some weight lifing, badminton, team handball, fencing, table tennis, tennis, track, swimming, gymnastics, wrestling, women's hockey, rowing, diving. I watch it all.
Cuban taekwondo athlete kicks ref.
The more I read about the sport, the more it seems rigged (I know, big shock from the Olympics).
Wow. After watching the video, I'm really shocked the Chinese snipers didn't just take him out after the kick landed.
Did the closing ceremony already end? Is there a link online or will it air again? I wanted to see it!
I think it'll air tonight on NBC.
