Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
Don't worry, we won. However, you need to get onto those punks at your location station. Why don't you go to a hotel and watch cable for a week or something?

I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
Really? I saw the game live here on the East Coast.
China did very well in the first half; tied first quarter I think and behind by not alot the end of the second
Second half though, the US utterly obliterated them. Still, it was expected.
I heard somewhere that that game was the most watched basketball game of all time. Something like 450 million people are watching it from China alone

Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
The US won by a pretty large margin. I watched it on NBC this morning. Watching rowing now.
this was a while ago, got distracted.

I'm a bit surprised that the US beat China by so much. I figured we'd win, but by a slim margin.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
I thought I'd read that Google and Yahoo were gonna do live streaming, but checking their sites, I just see after-the-fact reportage and highlights clips.
I agree, it's disappointing. Gotta be some copywrite thingee. NBC TV coverage here (So.Calif, US) is significantly delayed also. And their human-interest stuff just suxorz IMHO.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
On some events, I'd like to know the rules, before the game starts. While it may be just because I haven't seen that many Olympics or what, but I don't know what volleyball players have to go to, or how many laps someone has to swim. Some information beforehand would be nice.

That was incredible, especially the look on the French guy's face afterwards.

Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
Yes, the relay was an awesome moment, but NBC gave too much air time for Phelps. They should have focused on umm...the last guy (bad with names...), who really pulled the victory out of his ass.
And I have to agree, the french relayers sulikng was absolutely priceless.
TosaInu shall never be forgotten.
Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
Thank God forCanada
Because of them, I got to watch Phelps&co win the relay live over the French, instead of waiting for another half hour to watch it on NBC. Curse you, nbc!
And wow, what a finish. And over the smack-talking French, no less. Huzzah!

Re: The Olympics, and where to watch the Events
Well, men's gymnastics is over with now, and the U.S. took bronze.
To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed with them, but I'm also happy that they placed without the previous Olympians leading the way.
