Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

(Nerd alert) -- Hong Kong gets its third medal. Ever! Women's cycling.

Those bike sprints are crazy. It's like speed skating -- everyone's so fast, and so close to each other -- really exciting.

What the F^ck, NBC? Really? You can't even show a 8 minute race without taking a commercial? A race where an American is winning and ahead of WR pace? Jesus Christ on a Cracker. DIAF, you cockgoblins. :mad:

At least here, it also included two political ads. **** them.

This is the absolute lowpoint for these buttheads. Absolutely ridiculous. **** you NBC.

Had to squeeze this story in, of course. Can't interrupt the soap opera....er....the interest story for actual sport.
 
Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

I don't know why I got upset or why I am surprised by the idiocy. When it comes to Olympics on NBC the actual events are the least important thing to the network.

I do like how the 1500m appears to be the fist fight event of T&F.

Ryan Flynn thinks Rebecca Adlington has a huge nose.

Costas: And now here's Shaun White for no reason!

Oh, didn't realize this was the "with spoilers" thread.

Seriously? It was on Primetime for cripes sake. Geeeeesh. Get off my back.

Ledecky's swim is my favorite moment of the games. Too bad NBC tried to ruin it.

They just had the women's Keirin in late-night coverage. That was a hoot to watch! They cruise for five and a half laps, and then it's a lap and a half of insanity.

Wow. Lalova is effing gorgeous. Never thought I would say that about a Bulgarian.

There are lots of beautiful women in Bulgaria, in fact, I'd put the country well above average. I'm not sure why you thought otherwise?
 
Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

Once it airs primetime it is fair to post, IMHO.

I disagree in this thread especially same day. Is a little common courtesy really that out of question?

It was one comment and I didn't blast away, but there is an Olympics thread titled, "Spoilers Welcome" so I rightfully called you on it here. :)

Once it's on NBC prime time, it's fair game, the whole point of the other thread was for the people that are following live during week days...

Apparently not. I thought that was the "spoiler" rule so I was very careful not to do that, but I was wrong. So, what's the new rule? 1 hour after primetime? 2? 4? Next day? Next Week? Next Month?
 
Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

I would so mainly because it was agreed upon earlier that you could talk about events in this thread once they had aired on prime time.

If that's the deal than so be it, I just didn't think I maimed Scooby so emotionally for putting it out there. ;)

Tennis spoiler alert:

The best part of the gold medal presentation for Serena was at the exact moment the line "...that our flag was still there" during the national anthem, the flag blew away off the rack

:D
 
Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

I'm beginning to wonder if NBC actually shows sports. Flip through the channels, NBCSN has equestrian, CNBC has boxing, MSNBC has soccer, Bravo looks like they're done since tennis is over, and then I flip to NBC: Another story, this time about some guy who moved to the US to train. That's all I heard before I flipped it to actually watch the Olympics.
