OT - London Olympics thread

[BOSSMANPC]

I swear it should be an Olympic sport just trying to keep track of what events are on what channel ! Shit, the time it takes you to find the sport that interest you the most before it's half over deserves at least a Silver. Well, at least a Bronze. :dizzy::decision:

Zip Code and cable provider is all you need Boss.

Yes that does help a lot but a couple of times they had one event listed but another was on. I was exaggerating a bit but between TV and Computer there is a ton of coverage!!

Watching women's gymnastics with the wife and kid, super slow-mo shot of a Chinese teenager with her legs wide open on the uneven bars coming right into your living room, as it were..... Rod Black "what an amazing view!".
You can hear his partner giggle, and he quickly adds " just look at that facial expression"

The coverage here in the States SUCKS. I understand the tape delay, but if you say you're going to show an event, show it in it's entirety. At this point I'm not even going to bother watching much. It's a complete waste of time.

I have to say badminton is kind of awesome.

Canada just won its first boxing match at the Olympics since 2004 - Custio Clayton took out a Mexican on points.

Dear NBC - fuck right off.

Clearly a plant by Mitt Romney to make the Brits look bad. This will be the headline in the London Times tomorrow. :ss: :smile:

Small guy you would love to punch more - Bob Costas or Gary Bettman?

That's just plain fucked up !! But then again it's NBC.

How deep is the pool in water polo? I guess I could Google it but just wondering how deep and if it's 50 meter's.

It's a vicious sport, Boss, and a sport that requires tremendous conditioning.

This isn't 2008 anymore, NBC. Your ratings are going to get killed because anybody can see these events live if they want to - television is not the only show in town anymore.

Yes it is dash. I googled for the pool dimensions and from what I see it's like old hockey rinks. There is no "standard" size, it says between 20 - 30 meters and varys for men and women. Strange.

I saw a tweet linking to a blog with the headline saying "nbc hits record olympic ratings so they will continue to not care about their viewers"

They just showed a guy on the other team being led to the lockerroom with a trainer. I thought to myself, "Hopefully it's just an equipment problem."
