Let the games begin!- NBCSN begins the Saturday coverage with--what else? Beach volleyball. No idea why this is so popular...
- The online coverage is surprisingly good, once you get it set up. The video quality is good, even with other activities on the Mac. We watched the Archery coverage--something you would be lucky to get 30 seconds of on TV.
- Since I'm already paying for cable in order to get online access, it would be nice if there were no ads. The constant banner at the top of the full screen view is particularly annoying.
- Shooting--the sport of snipers and survivalists
- For gymnastics online, you can concentrate your viewing on one of the apparati, if you're into that kind of thing
- Fencing--the sport of secret agents and medieval aristocrats
- Random British phrase, said during the cycling road race--"he's trying to put the cat among the pigeons!"
- Speaking of the road race--geeez, was that long or what?
- I love listening to Béla Károlyi talk--"these girls have hearts like bulls".
- NBC is really pushing the "Fab 5" moniker for the women's gymnastics team. YOU WILL ACCEPT THIS NICKNAME!
- US 5-time shooter Kim Rhode on her father calling her the Tiger Woods of her sport--"I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing"
More to come.
