This coverage has sucked. I hear about most of the stuff that interests me during the day and then they play it back 6 hours later like it's live. Now the only thing on is Men's gymnastics and the US isn't even in the finals.
I may be done watching them. The idea that some group completely destroys the heart and soul of the games and no one seems to care at NBC. The beach volleyball girls all wearing full body outfits... That is too much... Why not put one of those outfits on them where only their eyes show.
NBC royally screwed up the Rugby World Cup by not broadcasting anything except for USA games and none of the games that mattered. WTHR further screwed the pooch when they decided to pre-empt the Rugby World Cup Final with Dan Wheldon's funeral roughly 45 minutes before gametime. NBC can't do anything right.
Anyone see them replay the men losing to French swimmers in relay and then overlay the French announcers going nuts? We need Fox to do the next Olympics
Jay Leno probably summed it up best after "The Tonight Show" debacle, which NBC played both Leno and Letterman, when he first quipped, and again in 2010 with the network wanting to change the show's air times, "NBC stands for 'Never Believe your Contract'."
NBC broke its contract with the American people years ago. Why should the Olympics be any different?
