I hadn't realized this was going to happen. An hour of my life that I will never get back. Thanks a lot, NBC. Did someone accidentally delete some recordings by mistake? Was that even necessary? Argh!!
I am a huge history fan, I love all things WWII, but that was really odd. I turned on the TV at 8 to watch the Olympics. What a bizarre choice. Why? Why?
They want to show us who's boss? That's the only thing I can come up with. They could have showed it at any point other than the prime time Olympic slot. I mean, they could have shown it prime time BEFORE the Olympics started, they could have shown it a week from today...And of all the topics to focus on. WWII? How about the history of the Olympics? Or why the medal ribbons are purple? Argh! And I'm sick of Bob Costas and Ryan Seacrest. How about more Apolo Ohno and John McEnroe. And why are the sending Mary Carillo off to report on her excursions? How about having her talk to the athletes because that's what some of us actually care about and not the history of GMT? ARRGHHH!
Okay. I think I feel better now.
The womens 4x400 and mens 4x100 was kind of amazing to watch. Too bad about the women's voleyball, but I still think I'm in love with Logan Tom
Wait. Ryan Seacrest is hosting the Olympics for NBC?!?! :fp: That's insane!! Why wouldn't they choose someone who, you know, has somethingto do with sports?? Thank god Canada's CTV only has qualified Olympic hosts and annoncers, as in popular SPORTS broadcasters and actual ex Olympic athletes. That is weird. Wtf NBC? I actually used to switch back and forth between Canadian networks and NBC quite a bit, but I gave that up some time ago because they did start acting just like you say - a strange overbearing focus only on Americans, almost as though they were the only ones competing. Sounds like I made a good decision in giving them up!

Another two medals for the GB & NI team today (Gold and Silver in the boxing).
We should be very proud of our Olympians, and encourage those future Olympians.
Ooooh, the Italians are appealing the gold :( but the original result stands
