Do you know what happened the day after London won the 2012 bid?

They bombed the station I used everyday to go to University.

No. Haven't seen any US coverage of that.

 

[Songbird]

They're skipping the 7/7 section? Really, NBC?

 

[Dai101]

Dat Beckham smirk just made millions of women wet

And MEN, STRAIGTH MEN

 

[Bo-Locks]

They skipped the 7/7 memorial for the Phelps interview.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Will actual Olympic sports happen tonight or is it just this celebration?

There's been Olympic sports since Wednesday. Soccer and Archery.

 

[ColtraineGF]

They skipped the 7/7 memorial for the Phelps interview.

For real? That sucks. I thought I had missed it or something.

 

[Levyne]

Yeah the 7/7 sections was right before the parade of nations, right?

 

[Amagon]

Watching this section of the shows makes me wonder if maybe the Taliban was right.

[Ohwiseone]

Wait, they're showing an interview with Ryan Seacrest and Phelps now? Huh.

Yeah, uh, shouldn't they be airing the tribute/remembrance section?

NBC SAYS:

Naw, no one cares about tributes.. We need to show off the guy we are paying a few million to come do the olympics with us.

 

[B-Dex]

Phelps hew?

 

[djplaeskool]

SMH NBC, SMH

 

[El Sloth]

AND NOW MORE COMMERCIALS

Where are my crying eagles, fellas?!

 

[Dark Schala]

They gonna release this on bluray commentary free right?

Also did they skip something or does it go right to the nations here?

They should be airing a tribute to the 7/7/05 bombing right now.

Fucking wow if they edit it out entirely.

 

[metalslimer]

I want to see the tribute. NBC wouldn't skip that. Too much negative press

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

NBC is fucking up

their Online Streaming is ass so far

and now this....

why so many commercials?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

WTF? This is the Olympics. Of course winning matters.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

this thread is getting pretty classy.

 

[Plasmid]

is there a place to watch the archery events from today?

 

[Big Baybee]

Fucking NBC is pissing me off.

 

[Delusibeta]

why are they showing this right now. Pretape seacrest and phelps. The hell?

Right before the 7/7 tribute as well, apparently. Bloody poor show.

 

[SyNapSe]

There's been Olympic sports since Wednesday. Soccer and Archery.

I know.. I've watched the soccer. Apparently this is just a silly night of waste. I'll do something else and come back when the actual event returns.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Are we going to have to put up with Seacrest the entire olympics?

*nods*

He is a "sideline" reporter.. essentially Erin Andrews..only not attractive, and not female.

 

[IceCold]

They skipped the 7/7 memorial for the Phelps interview.

Oh shit, I forgot about that part.

That's messed up...

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I hope people are vocal about NBC's dumb shit.

 

[demosthenes]

No. Haven't seen any US coverage of that.

There was plenty of US coverage when it happened.

I feel silly for saying brush up on your history, but:

WTF? This is the Olympics. Of course winning matters.

Only the 150k condoms matters.

 

[thefro]

Whoa wait, am I remembering things in the wrong order are you guys trying to tell me that they're showing interviews instead of airing the section in tribute to the people killed in the July bombings?

NBC showed:

- Some sort of abrupt end to the music segment
- Beckham... IS ON A BOAT WITH THE TORCH
- random commercials

- Cut back to Seacrest & Michael Phelps interview
- Shots of US team queuing up for the Parade of Nations, shot of Maria Sharapova looking hot and some Middle Eastern team
-random commercials
- Parade of Nations... GREECE

 

[Tamanon]

I want to see the tribute. NBC wouldn't skip that. Too much negative press

Looks like they just skipped it after all:/

 

[pargonta]

welcome the athletes...

wow

well i hope the media calls them out for that omission.

 

[Awesome]

this thread is getting pretty classy.

Most threads here are never classy unfortunately.

 

[scorcho]

wow. they completely skipped the 7/7 portion?

i imagine a fair amount of blowback tomorrow to that.

 

[djplaeskool]

GALVANIZE!

 

[RBH]

Yup, they skipped the tribute.


Fucking NBC

 

[Gray Man]

Go yell at nbc on twitter

 

[Levyne]

is there a place to watch the archery events from today?

NBC seems to have streaming of every event (provided you have a cable provider) but nothing at all from today. Weird.

No tribute section..

 

[Nesotenso]

Will actual Olympic sports happen tonight or is it just this celebration?

Some events like archery and soccer have alreadu started. TV coverage and streaming will start on NBC tomm. But no event at night of opening

 

[MThanded]

They skipped the tribute? what in the heck

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Dat austerity.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Oh crap, the athletes. What the hell do they have to do with this and who let them in there?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

wow, they skipped the entire memorial. That's totally awful.

 

[Delio]

Wait they skipped the Tribute?

 

[metalslimer]

Oh they actually skipped it.....for a phelps interview...

 

[Shadow780]

Does Greece goes first in Olympics that's organized by alphabet?

Seems like the worst position to be in to stand in the heat for 2 hours.

 

[Alucard]

They skipped "Abide With Me." That whole section was beautiful.

 

[aceface]

Yep skipped. Fuckers. Apparently we don't care when other countries get bombed. Well time to get some beers for the athlete parade.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Nagging commentary, heavily edited, constant commercials, and a prerecorded interview...NBC sucks so damn hard.

Seriously wtf!

 

[Ohwiseone]

Some really pretty Greek women there in that group.

 

[Impeccable]

I am speechless at NBC right now.

 

[shadyspace]

wow. they completely skipped the 7/7 portion?

i imagine a fair amount of blowback tomorrow to that.

Why would NBC care about blowback from British people?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Bahawi is a good fighter.

 

[LQX]

What tribute?
