Bossk'sSegway: WhyteRaven74: So almost an hour and a half into the coverage, and they've spent how much of it on this volleyball match?

If they aren't replaying old volleyball clips, then they are blowing talking about Michael Phelps. "We just watched you win a gold medal in swimming. The world is dying to know, how does it feel to be standing next to Michael Phelps?"

For tonights coverage, we'll spend 30 minutes talking to Michael Phelps, asking him how it feels to be Michael Phelps.


"Bob, I'm beside myself to be standing next to myself."

WhyteRaven74: I'm tempted to shoot off an email to NBC and ask them why they're not going to be covering the Paralympics like the Olympics, which they're kinda supposed to do and other major broadcasters around the world do.

Thank you for your email. Please enjoy the new fall NBC lineup.

ReluctantPaladin: Kenny B: I'm disappointed theres no Olympic Bowling.

There's curling for the winter olympics. Laugh if you want, but it's probably the only chance for anyone on Fark to ever win an Olympic gold medal. Unless they turn photoshopping into a olympic event. Or beer guzzling.

Any other ideas for Olympic events that Farkers would have a chance at?

soosh: I do not understand why they feel the need to show quarterfinal events in something like beach volleyball when there is so much else going on.

I blame the Budweiser drinking domestic SUV driving fast Food eating woman marying kid having Christmas having proletariat tools of fat American sheeple loving corporations who enjoy watching boring popular sports featuring NorthAmericentric athletes. I for one prefer to view awsomely tiny niche sports featuring female athletes from island nations that didnt even exst 4 years ago and athletes names that use alphabets UTF-8 cant deal with and only Tuvian throat singers on bath salts can pronounce with any authority and accuracy

Ive been a huge fan of every one of these since Mexico City/Tokyo and know all the intricate strategens involved. The pussified new techy equipment that dilutes the purity of the event and will never forgive the Serbian judges who Farked that East Vludoscroakian ladies' hurdling jurnspot tandem doubles team out of Bronze in Sarajevo when they gave them a branking deduction even though nboth prellspokes were clearly above the brown line. Unlike volleyball, Thats a moment nobody will ever forget.

I'm so sick of this spoiler-free crap. Why is Fark joining this absurd charade and pretending it's still 1996? If anything, Fark should be working to subvert the stupidity.

I wonder why NBC hasn't gotten Greg Louganis to be the color commentator for diving.

The Why Not Guy: Last night's James Bond piece was infuriating. Long, boring, and filling up space that could have been used for... oh, I don't know, the Olympics? Also, Mary and Bob Costas have zero chemistry - they should be banned from bantering.

Costas has far surpassed Jim Lampley as an object of derision, and is rapidly approaching Curt Gowdy territory of sad irrelevance.

consider this: You know, if they're going to have horse events in the Olympics, they should go ahead and include auto racing.

Have they done the pony prom yet? I know there was some jumping over stuff already.

I don't actually care, mind you, but I stole 'pony prom' from another thread, and promised to use it every chance I got. Pony prom.

I think the argument against that is the horses are technically athletes in their own right. They're living creatures that train as hard as human athletes do.

soosh: what events are scheduled for prime time tonight?

Listings web site says: More apparatus finals in gymnastics, mens 400m final in track and field, qualifying in mens springboard diving, mens beach volleyball quarterfinal and the mens sprint final in track cycling.

However, from what I've seen, it's a pretty loose schedule.
