I hope to god the USA basketball team doesn't suck this year. Last time they were horrible and showed an awful display of showmanship and team work.

They won't win it this time either. If they can only beat Australia by 10 they'll have their work cut out against the bigger Euro teams.

Racquetball should be an olympic sport. It makes more sense than BMX racing.

Edit: Oh shit I just found the button that lets me watch 4 things at once. I take back the bad things I said earlier.

It seems ridiculously easy to score in handball. It's tough for the goalie to do anything.

Well, you play on a court smaller than in basketball and with less players. It's like the perfect mix between football and basketball.

Where's the Tibetan kid? Oh wait. I think I saw him. He was being beaten in the corner.

Seriously though, those light drums were pretty cool.

A 230 x 70 feet LED screen.

I thought they were rolling out paper and transposing a holograph on it, but NOPE, they rolled up a goddamn LED screen!

Seriously the panning shots for the Road Race are amazing. The best part? Zero commentating.

Argh, this is disappointing. NBC cut out the part where the current speaker walked up to the podium. The long line of Chinese ladies turning to face him and folding their arms was awesome.

Women's basketball have great ball movement and team play... too bad they can't actual score a fucking basket! I've seen 6 missed shots, 4 of them layups in the 30 seconds I have watched.

Since I don't care whether the USA wins the Olympics or not, I guess I don't care that you're going to jinx them:

Once loaded, click on Enhanced Player, then "Live Video Control Room."

Political ad against Gordon Smith and saw one earlier against Jeff Merkley.
