I made a thread for spoiler discussion

7/28/2012 3:10:47 PM

Sorry, I meant nbcsports. They won't spoil olympics news

7/28/2012 3:12:18 PM

^^cool, thats a great idea

7/28/2012 3:13:24 PM

7/28/2012 3:13:45 PM

Already posted her name, bro

7/28/2012 3:14:36 PM

7/28/2012 3:15:06 PM

Destinee Hooker isn't African?

7/28/2012 3:15:39 PM

Thought you were talking about the hooker

7/28/2012 3:15:54 PM

7/28/2012 3:17:45 PM

I never heard that story about the volleyball coach's father in law being murdered. I found this while reading about it:

Quote :

"As Ziegler goes on to report, Beijing is considered one of the safest cities in the world the last known murder occurring in 2006 among a population of 17.4 million."

thats gotta be bullshit right? (article was written in 2008)

7/28/2012 3:43:07 PM

nah dog. and China's gymnastic team was all 16+ in 2008, too

7/28/2012 4:30:20 PM

Okay, so I'm surprised just how good a fight the Koreans are putting up against the US. Especially after the first two sets.

7/28/2012 4:53:02 PM

thats what I figured but yahoo news was reporting it like it was straight fact

7/28/2012 4:53:58 PM

Okay, nevermind. Looks like the US finally found its groove again.

7/28/2012 4:57:16 PM

upon further research I have found nothing stating that beijing isnt absolutely safe

nothing specific on murder rates but just various websites and sources talking about how safe it is for such a large city

7/28/2012 5:05:03 PM

All the hoodlums die from the air pollution instead

7/28/2012 5:13:22 PM

chick on britains basketball team has a serious blackeye, shits gruesome

7/28/2012 6:34:47 PM

pretty awesome handball game between Norway and France.

7/28/2012 6:55:03 PM

ya, handball rocks, hate they switched it for rowing

7/28/2012 7:00:33 PM

well, the game was over... :-/

7/28/2012 7:00:56 PM

was it? shit I got distracted I thought there was plenty of time left, oh well

7/28/2012 7:01:29 PM

beach volleyball, but too much clothes on

7/28/2012 8:16:32 PM

Bob Costas and NBC prime time coverage get on my nerves (skipping around, human interest pieces, too much diving, etc.) Plus the good coverage ends for live events around 4 thanks to holding up the London prime time events for US prime time tape delay.

7/28/2012 8:34:45 PM

May and Walsh are playing against 80s sitcom mom. Where is Webster?

7/28/2012 8:44:54 PM

^^^ Nice legs.

7/28/2012 9:13:03 PM

David Andersen is single handedly keeping Australia in the game vs Brazil (basketball).

7/29/2012 7:49:32 AM

Australia cut the lead to 2 on NBC sports.

How do you say shenanigans in Mandarin?

Quote :

"Shiwen shaved more than a second off Australian Stephanie Rice's world record in her win, finishing at 4:28.43. But it was her final 100 meters – the freestyle leg of the event – that raised eyebrows. Not only did Shiwen go virtually stroke-for-stroke with Lochte – who had won gold in the men's 400 IM earlier in the night – she beat Lochte in the final 50 meters."

7/29/2012 1:26:34 PM

if she fails a drug test, fine, call her out. otherwise, let's not be sore losers here. Even the announcers acknowledged that Lochte ran out of gas at the end. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that she beat him over the last 50m

7/29/2012 1:27:53 PM

fencing final is coming up. this shit is sweet.

7/29/2012 1:43:41 PM

aww yeah, here we go!

7/29/2012 1:55:49 PM

this final is looking to be a blowout

7/29/2012 2:19:26 PM

4x100 medley relay coming up online with phelps, lochte and cullen jones

7/29/2012 2:23:18 PM

7/29/2012 2:25:02 PM

eh, nevermind, just saw it said on the website 2:22pm. women's butterfly now

7/29/2012 2:29:29 PM

looks like NBC is gonna tape-delay this race too

fuckers

7/29/2012 2:56:12 PM

they are doing a terrible job at let people know whats happening on what channel. Like it there is a medal at stake put a pop that says 100m W butterfly is racing in 5m on Bravo or MSNBC.

i keep missing shit.

7/29/2012 3:14:29 PM

Their app is bullshit too, pulling items up and it's not what it said it was supposed to be, no medal tracker, etc.

7/29/2012 3:15:29 PM

Argentinian beach volleyball ass > USA beach volleyball ass

7/29/2012 4:37:20 PM

Isn't the usa beach volleyball team the same one it's been for like the past 3 or 4 olympics? They're old as hell.

7/29/2012 5:00:45 PM

there are multiple US teams

this was not the famous one

7/29/2012 5:04:32 PM

Oh ok, well then shame on the US. This pair should be hot. The other gets a pass for being the greatest of all time.

7/29/2012 5:11:25 PM

7/29/2012 6:06:22 PM

nice choke job lochte

7/29/2012 10:40:47 PM

Cullen should take his grill.

7/29/2012 10:43:22 PM

What a disappointing finish to what was the pinnacle of the last Olympics

How can you not love Bela Karolyi?

7/29/2012 11:23:42 PM

I haven't looked through the thread, but is there a way to watch replays of events online without already having a cable provider?

(I selected Time Warner, and it provided a 4 hour temporary pass.)
