How about showing some sports. Who cares about Lochte's shoe collection? Its not Sports, its NBC

JerseyTim: What a tacky couch Lochte and McEnroe were on.

Man cave furniture.

Potentially silly question: what's the trumpet fanfare they keep playing during beach volleyball?

bulldg4life		2012-07-28 08:39:56 PM

The mid-day coverage was awesome earlier. I didn't know what channel to switch to because there was so much good stuff going on.

The prime time coverage is still craptastic thought

BalugaJoe		2012-07-28 08:40:01 PM

MSNBC is showing Lock up: Boston.

Idiots.

Evening all,

Lovely night for some sport. However, let's maintain some decorum and not allow this fine Olympics thread to devolve into a bunch of pictures of butts.

Pip pip, cheerio, what what.

Isn't it the 'Call to the Post', from horse racing?

"Hey, Lochte, we're here to do your big interview that's going to introduce you to America. Where do you want to set up?"
"On the leather couch next to the cup holders."
"Perfect!"

Contrabulous Flabtraption: In many ways the indoor volleyball girls are hotter than their beach counterparts...those shorts uber alles

I have to disagree, most of the ladies are a 7 or above, i do exclude the weight lifters and heavier judo classes. But anything above a 7 is okay in my book.

I wouldn't say no.

Kenny B		2012-07-28 08:44:04 PM

I bet those strecthy pants will keep sand out of your crack.

I made that observation to my buddy who's here with me, and he said "my tongue would too."

GGracie		2012-07-28 08:46:49 PM

Just tell me when that gorgeous body attached to Michael Phelps does something good so I can pull it off of my DVR... in slow motion.

He grew up, and grew up well.

Gaius		2012-07-28 08:47:00 PM

Think I'll break out the Two Buck Chuck and watch me some volleyball.

And Zoomaster, you are da man!

I wish NBC Nightly News had the no spoilers rule. They announced Mens 400 results before even airing it. Then, our local news followed by Costas comes on at 8 and says that this is all recorded but they will not spoil it either. Left hand needs to talk to right.

StreetlightInTheGhetto		2012-07-28 08:47:56 PM

I don't mean to threadjack, but I missed the opening, so trying to find a highlights video I came across this:

Before the first gold medal was given out, Emeli Sande emerged as one of the early winners of the 2012 London Olympics. The rising Scottish singer made a surprise appearance at last night's (July 27) opening ceremony, where she performed the hymn "Abide With Me" for a massive global audience, Scotsman.com reports.

The 25-year-old songstress and recent AOL Music Sessions guest sang after a video sequence paid tribute to spectators' deceased loved ones, among them the late father of director Danny Boyle, who organized the elaborate event and hand-picked Sande to be the only female vocalist.

And then this:

When asked why NBC didn't show the memorial, NBC spokesman Greg Hughes on Saturday said only that "our programming is tailored for the U.S. audience. It's a tribute to (opening ceremony producer) Danny Boyle that it required so little editing."

I think Danny Boyle gets a free pass to punch Greg Hughes in the face.

/end threadjack

That was the worst kept secret I've ever seen.

"This is NBC Nightly News broadcasting tonight from the Summer Olympics in London"

"Hello, I'm Brian Williams and tonight Michael Phelps finished 4th today..."

Beach volleyball butt is my favorite!

OK Seriously, that asian on the left is a DUDE. Absolutly no doubt in my mind what so ever.

Wait.... you're telling me that NBC didn't show this live? One of the major US events?

It gets worse...

bulldg4life		2012-07-28 08:51:59 PM

Did I miss something on the last point or did they blow the whistle quick?

I mean, it hit the girl at the net, but then the second girl hit it up in the air...why did it end?

They didn't even offer it live as an online stream.

You underestimate the ineptitude of NBC.

the fact that she's not nude. makes me think there might be POOP in there.

Idiots.

It's 1 AM in London. They couldn't show anything live even if they wanted to.

/Yes, I know NBC never wants to

If you're into that sort of thing, we got mens' gymnastics for you too. Cut bodies, and with their moves, imagine what they could do to you. Bonus: They're mostly over age, unlike the girls.
