Olympics Thread

Olympic basketball has always been more important than any other single event. It is our game.

 

Pathetic is right. Is there any easy way to figure out what's actually going to be on? Not too hard on the channels showing just soccer and basketball. I cant figure out the others though.

 

It's impossible. I've given up.

 

For schedules and TV info, I found this reasonably useful:

Go to 2012 Summer Olympics | Video, Schedules, Results, TV | NBC Olympics

Go down to the page and on the right will be a place to enter your zip code. Do this and enter the appropriate cable info.

Next, you'll see a schedule generated. You can click at the top of the schedule to organize by sport instead of by channel. Then, you can see when the sport you're interested in will air and on what channel.

That may not be what you are looking for....but it's there.

 

I thought the moment after the USA game with Michelle Obama was great. I must have missed something there.

 

No. Impossible.

 

Follow Paulie Pabst on twitter. He pretty much is the best thing i have found. Continually updates.

 

Also, i loathe the primetime coverage. I care about the events not a stupid today show production of it.

 

So is it gold or bust for gymnastics?

 

I think so.

 

[itch bay]es love gold

 

The way the French swam the last leg of the 4x100 was crazy

 

That's awkward. Sucks about the two spot rule.

 

Yep

Catarina Ponor is one of my new favorite athletes

 

I watched fencing, ping pong, and badminton yesterday. I didn't understand the scoring on fencing and the ping pong/badminton girls/guys were pretty freaking awesome. Extremely fast....

 

Fencing is about the only thing I find unwatchable at the Olympics. Well, maybe synchronized swimming.

 

so much of this
