Best moment so far in Olympic coverage?
Jul 31, 2012, 6:56 AM
|

For me it has to be that heartwarming story about that swimmers 3rd cousin who battled a drug addiction during those few weeks in the summer of 1978 only to recover and dedicate his life to reading Dr. Seuss books to orphaned balck bears.
anyone else seen anything amazing at the Olympics?
Thanks NBC!!!!

on some subjective judging or points system like gymnastics, diving, or skating.
Olympic officials are dirty and clearly play favorites. Olympic athletes should not train for years only to have their fate determined by corrupt judges.

I saw them when they interviewed Kerry Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor after winning their first match yesterday. Kerry's shirt was wet with sweat and BAM, there it was.
IT WAS PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

After watching the opening ceremonies and realizing

that I had never heard of more than 10 of the countries that had athletes competing, I figured I wasn't smart enough to watch any more...I needed to go back to the geography lessons.

If you want to watch the Olympics during primetime....

without knowing the results, don't watch or listen to the NBC Nightly News at 6:30. They report the results every evening but at least they do give you a heads-up before doing so in case you want to turn the channel or mute the volume.

but this commercial ran during their Primetime Olympic coverage. As they were going to commercial they said "coming up next, the women's 100 m backstroke" then the commercial aired for the today show talking about the interview with Franklin, basically spoiling the race, then they came back from commercial and showed the race.
For the record, I don't watch tape delayed stuff. There's a zillion ways to get it live and I'll do that instead of waiting.

None. Worst coverage I've ever seen. Opening ceremony
Jul 31, 2012, 7:12 PM
|

blew chunks. And at night I feel like I'm watching the "View", which is why I'm mostly ignoring TV and watching live online when I can. The only things I'm really interested in seeing this year are men's swimming, men's track, and the men in hoops when they get into the medal round.
