    Haven't been able to catch boxing yet, but wasn't the whole reason they changed to the scoring system to get it away from being a "pro" style judging after Roy Jones Jr in Seoul?

          Remember kids: be like Michael Phelps and smoke marijuana.

          Feel bad for people who wanted to watch women's gymnastics and got yanked around by NBC, but what did you expect? This has been their modus operandi since Barcelona.

              If you only counted his gold medals Phelps still has more medals than anyone else.

                And you too can have more gold medals than anyone in the history of the Olympics.

                Which really does a good job implying that it's effects are pretty minimal.

                  It's **** near unwatchable. We don't start watching until 2 1/2 hours after the telecast has started. Fast-forward through the commercials and we still finish at the same time as the whole broadcast. Saves us a ton of time too.

                  On Monday night, we made the mistake of watching live. In a one-hour period, there was 37 minutes of commercials.

                    The swimming was live, nothing else was. But I really wish they showed ANYTHING else between the races.

                    We are lucky, here, to have CBC, too.

                    (BTW, according to NPR's report this morning, there are fewer ads compared to 2012)

                      Use the app. I watch on my Roku and was able to follow the US gymnasts from event to event with no commentators, limited commercials and no tape-delay.

                      If you have a Chromecast you can stream from your phone, tablet or PC to your big screen.

                      You can also go back and watch routines/races/games as well.

                        I pity Coach K, Australia has all their bigs in foul trouble and the US dopes keep taking 3s. Carmelo Anthony might as well be 5 feet tall
                        I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

                            The United States was .89 seconds behind Australia after three legs of the women's 4x200m relay. The USA won by 1.84 seconds.

                            I'll give you three guesses who swam the final leg, but you'll only need one.

                              Michael Phelps?
                              If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?
