Members DRW50 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sadly, with NBC, I can. Billy Miller hosts Today!!! for two days, before he flees for pilot season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 30, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wow, another close 4x100 freestyle relay! Can't believe Lochte dropped the ball. The Americans had the lead at every turn but Lochte couldn't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah, as much as it angers people, record ratings for Saturday night showed that NBC is doing the right thing by not airing "signature" events live & saving them for primetime. if you have cable/satellite you can watch them live online, which personally I love. love being able to watch multiple streams online live. I've watched several sports like Archery and Whitewater 1-man canoe/kayak which I never normally watch or knew existed. Yeah, Lochte TOTALLY blew it. I read some comments online that said Lochte's goal must be deny Phelps gold medals even it means costing him some too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 30, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2012 LOL! People can be so dumb. Phelps now just needs to more medals to have the most ever. Speaking of dumb, the rule for gymnastic of only have 2 people per country in the finals is pretty dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 I agree. Wieber got screwed big time. She was 4th in the Woman's Individual All Around, but can't compete in finals because only 2 per country can go. if either Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas are her roommates tonight, I'd sleep with one eye open.

Members Gray Bunny Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 I haven't watched Olympic gymnastics this intensely (hooray for TiVo!) since the Magnificent Seven of 1996. I know it's been a good number of years since they changed the scoring system, but it just doesn't seem to pack a dramatic punch that you're no longer able to get a "perfect ten". And having only 2 gymnasts per team in the all-around? Bela Karolyi said it right: it should be the top 24 gymnasts, not the top 2 gymnasts from the top 12 countries. When did they make this change? From what I remember in the 90's, it was always 3 contenders, not 2. And I was also surprised when I watched the Olympic tryouts that there are only 5 members on a team, but then they had back-ups? Weird. When I watched them in 1992, there were 6 teammates, then 7 in 1996. Don't remember past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Just watched the men's diving...ummm...WTF?? with some of those scores.

Members wingwalker Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Men's synchronized diving, twice the number of nearly-naked men as regular diving. I'm glad to see the United States medaling after years of sucking at diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Tell me about it...they should just do naked diving...LOL...so many butts shown after they get out of the water.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Amazing that Missy got that gold after swimming in a race not even 15 minutes before that and only 17! Big future ahead for Missy Franklin. Next "Michael Phelps" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm rooting for Missy Franklin too. Her parents are Canadian. Lochte could've gotten silver or bronze but againhe loses steam down the stretch. He better not anchor tomorrow's relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Missy Franklin is only 17. She's everything the promoters love. She's gorgeous, smart, charismatic, has a personality, and is now a gold medalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 I want to give all of the nations a round of applause for sending an exquisitely fine selection of men to the games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
