On COX I have all the channels that would show any coverage all bundled at the bottom of my HD list.

NBC, telemundo, NBC sports, msnnb, cnbc, bravo, NBC soccer and NBC basketbal

Still prefer watching streams with no commentary.

And your paying 5.15 a month for ESPN?
 
Ryan Secrest is a Fox Plant. Hes a bad version of a chode. He will never be greater than Clark.

Bring Back Collinsworth Please. They stinking up the place with Horny Lauer and cracked Merideth. Costas looks lost. Costas is never lost.

No mention of the neon yellow shoes.
 
Do all the athletes stay in the Olympic Village or do some of them stay at hotels? Seems crazy to think some table tennis player would be in the same place as Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.

Was reading a story yesterday about the Olympic Village. If you are a tall guy its a nightmare. The beds are all like 5 foot 8 inches long. Basketball players etc are basically sleeping with their feet on the floor lol

Only 22 of the 261 American men going to the Olympics would fit in the regular bed. Michael Phelps - 6-4 - and Ryan Lochte - 6-2 - aren't close, for example. It's no wonder USA Basketball and other big stars shun the Olympic Village for the rough living of five-star hotels.
Some of America's female athletes won't fit either (and not just the basketball players). A vast majority of the US women's swim and rowing teams, for instance, are taller than 5-foot-8.

Damn, only the gymnasts would fit on those beds.

Edit: I see you have the stats now. I am 6'5 so those beds sound like hell, especially for orgies.
 
I don't think the US Men's hoops team is.

If the pic I saw of Tyson Chandler is real, then the beds and rooms in general are just too damn small. Ty's feet were hanging off the end of the bed, and it looked like if he tried to roll over, he'd land on the floor. LOL! PEACE.

I hope you're ready for another 30-50 years of "Seacrest out". Dude's just getting started. PEACE.

Goddamn I wonder how many high profile non-US athletes stay at hotels too. I don't think Federer or Djokovic will fit in those beds

Why can't I hold all of these NBC networks showing nothing instead of live Olympic coverage?
 
Why not play it later in the day, though? They clearly have the most star power, they should be playing in primetime there, which would conveniently not be at the asscrack of dawn over here.
Why aren't the finals on at a time other than 2am in England?
 
also i guess i won't use NBC's website since they don't put the primetime stuff up in a timely manner (still not up).
Why did they have to schedule the basketball game for goddamn 6:30am. Fucking Olympics.
that is in the afternoon local time.

Yeah they do have a lot of profile but it's gotta be hard to cram so much sport in, I think the womens swimming is on at the same time where GB has medal hopes so the basketball will get overshadowed completly by that.

Because the NBA is a privately owned league based in and targeting North America. The Olympics are an international event.

Start the game at 7:30 or 8 local time.

It's scheduled to benefit the host nation. USA basketball isn't exactly important in Britain
 
NBC are either monumentally stupid or absolutely hilarious. those from the US can decide for me. i'm lol lol lol

"Located in central Europe, bordered to the north by Germany and the Czech Republic, to the west by Switzerland and Liechtenstein, to the south by Italy and Slovenia, and to the east by Hungary and Slovakia.

I believe it's both. Hilarious.

Just remembered: basketball is big in China. It was a primetime event locally, so it was on at 7 or 8am est for live US matches. They had swimming in the morning to suit the us primetime coverage. 8pm est to watch Phelps would be 8am the next morning.

Just DVR it or watch the replay. If you really want to see it, set an alarm and wake up like I am. It is on later than it was 4 years ago
