Over here, the NBC network 'won' exclusive broadcast rights to the Olympics. They cover very few events - concentrating on winning Americans, and 'fluff' pieces about US athletes. The Mexican network Telemundo is showing most of the futbol matches, without preference. The broadest coverage is on the 'net.

Is it just me or is NBC absolutely obsessing over Michael Phelps? I mean the guy's a great swimmer and all but there's no reason for all of their coverage to revolve around his performance, IMHO..


PS: Did anyone stay up late last night (1:30 AM) to watch Jimmy Pedro win the Bronze in Judo against that Frenchman Fernandez? It was kind of strange, I didn't think there would be that much grip fighting in a masters match...
