kind of.
they say things like "and live now we have the final for the men's 4x200 relay," but everyone knows it's been done for about 8 hours or more. Pathetic. NBC blows

The tape delay really is brutal. I've had a ton of events spoiled for me accidentally, including the women's gymnastics final that I wanted to watch tonight. I'm getting really fed up with it and it's only the fourth day. The first day of coverage NBC even spoiled Lochtes' win on their own network while I was watching another sport waiting until later to watch the race, it was such bullshit. An hour ago I figured out my directv account and am now going to be watching online live, thank you very much. I'll keep recording the primetime coverage though so I can rewatch some amazing moments that happen if I want.

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
Lady Japan >>> Braziliennes
Yes, and they do it very badly.
Oh God no. GB would probably lose that one.
Anyway, great result GB. Kim Little is a top player! Proud (for once) of our football team!
not sure, i don't really pay attention to the primetime coverage since it is mostly comprised of things i watched during the day, like swimming. i do know that they basically take international olympic feed and put a dub commentary on it AFTER the event is over. same kinda shit we bash NK for, but at least we can see the real shit if we want. beijing was much better because the time differences matched up well, so basically everything could be shown live
what is handball exactly? is it soccer but you hold the ball in your hand essentially? i have never seen this sport in my life, but it is on lol
They even go to commercial right before dramatic moments,

correct about everything
i would like to think there has been at least a few marathon runners who have crapped themselves. if liquid shit isn't running down your legs during a marathon, you're not trying hard enough.
Yeah... We might actually have been better off drawing/losing so we are on the other side of the group.
Seriously? I though japan is good at ball control and organization, but Brazil is technically better so they should give lots of trouble to japanese style.
But then I also thought they would lose to usa in penalty last year.

There's scots in the womens team, but there's still things like refusing to sing to god save the queen that the media goes on about. I'm sure the women would rather play in a scottish only team as well, but given that's not possible as of yet it doesn't make sense not to agree to play. it's the olympics ffs.

The Japanese girls are world champions.
The Brazilian girls freaking suck.
Women's Football is a complete mess, though, so I guess anything can happen.
Next Olympics it will be I think.

Man, that really sucks, then! I thought they recorded and edited the stuff they did live commentary for and the live commentators just forget that it's going to be edited later on so they say that it's live or something. If they really do put a dub commentary over the Olympic feed, that's really lame.
If Canada's CTV can show this stuff live, with several channels at its disposal (ex: CTV, Sportsnet, TSN, etc), I don't see why NBC can't do the same thing. Same goes for the time zone delay for those on the west coast--it's really disappointing that they seem to have to wait a little longer.

This is amazing. They're even inconsistent.

Don't overhype it! Tomorrow will be nervous for me, hopefully we can rise to the occasion.
They need to vote I in. I don't think there are any specific rules for qualifying as an Olympic event, but I feel like it needs to be a sport played in most of the continents.
Haha, I can't even watch half the events, my nerves are shred.
Rugby with seven players will be in the next Olympics.
We have sevens at rio. 15 wouldn't work. Rugby takes about a week to recover from playing.

Wow, GB beat Brazil in soccer. Awesome
better hope you don't run into USA
Most likely the semifinal.
Pretty certain the commentary is live and the whole thing is edited later. If not, Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines are amazing actors.
Just checked it, looks like there's going to be a 7-players version in Rio. Never heard of that version, I wonder if countries are just going to take their 15-players rugby team and cut it in half. Looks like they play this variant in commonwealth games, might be an advantage for them.
