The basketball team is going to suck. AGAIN. They pick a bunch of stuck up, pussy ass b-ball stars who have no concept of the word team work and watch them look like a bunch of shit heads. AGAIN!

Change USA basketball's Dream Team name to the "ME ME ME ME Team".

Is there a website where you can watch replays the events? If i wanted to watch like the mens air pistol finals or something, is there a website that I could watch it at?

Come on, China is nowhere near Spain, Lituania, Argentina or Russia.
I think it's better wait to see how the Dream Team will do against those teams.

The point was to illustrate how absurd it was to say that they don't play as a team. We have great chemistry--not even Kobe hogs these days.

Not really, I just tried to look for the 3M womens synchro and found no video of it.

It took me awhile, but I just figured out that completed events won't be available for viewing online until they've aired on TV, whether it's on NBC or a NBC family channel.

For example, I've been waiting all day for the women's archery finals to be up online and they just posted it a few minutes ago http://www.nbcolympics.com/archery/video/index.html

Everybody should watch this btw. It's pouring rain and thunder during the Korean semifinal.

I don't understand why Universal HD only simulcast CNBC and MSNBC. NBC has most of the good stuff. Seems backwards. Also backgrounds is how popular events like diving and gymnastics are not streamed live at all.

Anybody else watching this 4x100 swim relay? USA just barely beat the Aussies and both squads set a world record. Edge of your seat action. I'm addicted.

What's funny is that they are our B squad. Our best team (with Phelps) competes tonight.

Phelps' team will own face tonight.

Also, what the hell is with all of these swimming records being broken? Almost every swimming competition I've watched this Olympics has included a new record.

Also because of the pool. It's 10 feet deep which reduces the turbulence in the water. There's other small differences in the pool that are contributing as well.

Watching the synchronized diving. There's somewhere around 12 countries competing, and NBC is only showing 3 of them (U.S., China and another country)...AND it's on a delay. :-/

Apparently she let bush slap her behind. Bush decided just to pat her back.

That's because the gap between the best team (China) and everyone else is huge. There's a 10+ point gap between them and second place. They'd have to fall off the board for someone to beat them.

Synchro diving is crazy :O but I would have given the Russian team a little bit more points myself.
