Administrator Toups Posted July 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2012 LOL I didn't watch any today but I prefer indoor Volleyball - watched today's US Women's watch. They have a player named Destiny Hooker! Glad to see Logan Tom still on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 I watched indoor volleyball as well. Yeah I can't believe her mom gave her the name Destiny Hooker, but she's a damn good volleyball player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Loved the opening ceremony. My favourite part was the James Bond/Queen part and the tribute to the music. Was surprised that we didn't have any ad's on here since it was on commercial TV. Loved how the Claudron was lit. I was thinking that it would have been either Coe or Banninster that would have lit it. Was shocked by Phelps swim though just making it into the 400 IM. It reminded me of Kieran Perkins who only scrapped into the 1500 back in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Was pleasantly surprised by the men's gymnastic team. I just didn't expect them to fair quite as well on their first day. I'll be interested to watch the women tonight. I did enjoy watching the men's archery team yesterday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 How could I forget to mention the horror of Ryan Seacrest trying to sound intelligent and interview the two gymnasts and failing miserably. The executives at NBC are absolutely clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted July 29, 2012 Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 I liked the opening ceremonies. I didn't like NBCs coverage. I think it's unfair to compare it to 2008. Not all of it was perfect but so be it. To me nothing compares to Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic torch in Atlanta or the flags of participating countries in 1984 done by the audiences seat cards. Myself I watch for the parade of nations anyway. NBC should be embarrassed by Ryan Seacrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Why are the female gymnasts wearing purple?? Shouldnt they be wearing blue or red...American colors...the whole puruple is a WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Honestly, that leo is coming across as blue to me. I could honestly care less what color the leo is as long as they can hit their routines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 NBC's coverage is an embarrassment so far they should of been airing things live this weekend that were major events (like the swimming finals) since it was on during the afternoon here but they choose to save it for prime time coverage though they tweet and put it on the nbcolympics.com site.

Members JaneAusten Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think the color is royal blue but I can see how it could pass for purple particularly with that star pattern on them. Off topic, once upon a time I used to like Bob Costas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Its called ratings. They could easily show it live during the day but save it for tv ratings which were through the roof the first night and the swimming finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 How tacky that they didn't show the 7/7 tribute so that the chimp with veneers could have more face time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
