Since when was Vino a "nobody?"

That's what makes it all the more delicious.

You have to remember, this is the Daily Fail we're talking about. Knowledge is not their speciality, emulating Fox News is.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Watching the NBC prime time just to see what they do.

After 40 minutes they showed a quite a bit of the USA beach volley ball match, a very small amount of the USA vs Korea indoor volley Ball match, a pre-recording of Lochte training, talking to some dude, and they are back to beach volley ball after the commercials.

...

They even skipped a good chunk of the second set in volleyball. They picked up when the score was already 13-12.

Well obviously game time passed during the commercials and interviews

 

[Salsa]

cacha knows we gonna win

look at his face

 

[ElectricBlue187]

I wonder if May/Walsh could beat most of the men

 

[Sarcastic Response]

Yeah I just jumped out of my seat when Misty and Walsh won even though I already knew the results. That Olympic hype. ^^;

 

[Ohwiseone]

Shit, at that ending of the USA vs. Australia game.. I Don't care if I knew they won the set.

That last point was crazy.

 

[Grifter]

well they barely beat the #22 team led by a 55yo granny so I hope they're just ramping up.

 

[Y2Kev]

Is USA Men's Gymnastics supposed to be good this cycle? Usually we suck.

 

[giga]

Why do I feel the need to punch Bob Costas in the face? I just want to give him and NBC a good whack.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I think they should ban the athletes from carrying in video cameras and mobile phones into the opening ceremony. Wish they walked faster. We missed the Doctor Who tribute.

What? Metaled the last two Olympics....

Naw.

Doesn't take anything away from how amazing they are though.

 

[weekend_warrior]

OMG, look at that little Chinese guy, he's so tiny!

 

[owlbeak]

Damn, Men's gymnastics is impressive.

What happened to the Chinese gymnast's arm that was all wrapped up?

 

[Grifter]

weird seeing super buff chinese dudes

 

[weekend_warrior]

Chinese ain't landing their dismounts.

 

[MIMIC]

Did the U.S. gymnasts go yet (on the NBC tape delay)? I just stepped out for a sec

 

[Esiquio]

Never forget

Clinton-esque. Also, what was the context of that situation?

 

[Y2Kev]

What? Metaled the last two Olympics....

if we don't get the gold then we sux

 

[Oozer3993]

The story for this Irish gymnast is just crazy. Twice told he would never compete again, including once told he would never walk again, then tore each ACL just for good measure. And now he's at the Olympics.

 

[MIMIC]

Twitter & Facebook: serious business

 

[MIMIC]

So....did he make any mistakes? At ALL? lol

That looked perfect to me

 

[sorijealut]

Um, we shouldn't talk about online viewing options right?
Let's just say today, I had none (US).
Only got a glimpse some stuff, and women's volleyball US vs. Korea.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Lol at the Chinese falling.

 

[antonz]

Clinton-esque. Also, what was the context of that situation?

He was in beijing visiting the athletes. First one is just a funny angle likely though he may have been checking her out.

2nd if I remember the story right she asked if he wanted to give a good luck slap and he of course behaved himself and just tapped her back instead of her ass

 

[JehutyRunner]

I know all the chatter (at the very least with some friends on Facebook) is with the Underworld score regarding the opening ceremony for London. And all credit due, it's great.

But after rewatching it for the first time in ages, I forgot how amazing KD Lang's performance of Hallelujah from Vancouver 2010 is. It's just sends chills down my spine. That incredible.

Watch it here. You owe yourself to watch it if not previously. Again, it's just incredible.

It was perfect.

[perfectchaos007]

The Chinese mens team looks scary good. I see their athletes haven't slowed down since Beijing.

The cool thing to do is to use expatshield.com then watch the bbc stream.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

this slice of life bullshit needs to die

 

[owlbeak]

Would be nice to see the Olympics and not these pieces on the same athletes over and over that make up 90% of the damn coverage.

 

[Grifter]

His hair is ridiculous, dude is rocking a beehive.

Probably the studio lighting but I wouldn't be surprised if he had blue highlights.

 

[owlbeak]

These commercials....FFS!!!!!!!

 

[opticalmace]

Just saw Ye kill it in the women's 400m swimming medley... damn! So much speed in the last 100m.

 

[Y2Kev]

Did swimming ban those super outfits? Why isn't anyone using one?

 

[Tamanon]

Lochte was killing it.

 

[MIMIC]

Wow, Lochte was far ahead of everyone else.

 

[Spinluck]

Whoa, Phelps didn't place top 3, Lotche however dominated.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Those outfit were banned in 2009

I heard they were banned

 

[owlbeak]

Yeah, they banned them in 2010.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/25/sports/25swim.html

The ban does not start until 2010, but the polyurethane-based swimsuit era that the swimwear giant Speedo introduced in the lead-up to last year’s Beijing Olympics will effectively be ushered out, presumably with a bang, at the swimming world championships...

BANNED!!!

aided buoyancy and were declared illegal about 2 yrs ago. were making a mockery of the sport

 

[Y2Kev]

Then of course the WRs from 4 years ago are going to be hard to attain!

 

[giga]

Is NBC really just now showing the 400 IM?!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Ouch, Lochte straight beat up the competition in the medley.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Is NBC really just now showing the 400 IM?!

Yep looking up the time it would be shown spoiled me on who won. Sucks.

 

[MIMIC]

I remember 4 years ago in Beijing watching practically EVERYONE eclipsing the world record. It was hilarious. lol
