NBC Thread- Day 5 Aka How Many Times Can NBC say "Michael Phelps"

[skfan]

the nbc replay video for gymnastics men AA main feed disappeared--does that mean it's gone for good? NBC buffered all the way through the medal ceremony for me--i was thinking i'd like to see it now, but no luck

I am secretly rooting for this just for the

I will bet you anything that NBC will have Jordyn front and center in the audience and we will get lots of reaction shots as Jordyn bravely cheers for her teammates and attempts to hide her heartbreak (repeat of teary qualifiers scene) as she wonders what might have been.

I can almost hear Al slurring it all out now.

I guess NBC figures le clos's hotness scores more ratings than Uchimara's hairy pitts

Well we saw those arm pits a lot.....I have to agree with them

I haven't kept up with coverage on NBC primetime, and from the little I saw tonight I'm glad I've stuck to BBC coverage. As much as I wanted to see Kohei in HD(as opposed to an online live stream), I had to give up once I heard Al talk about Japan's "silver medal of survival" and referring to PH as "the scene of the crime."

In the little I saw I suppose I should be grateful they didn't manage to insert Jordyn Wieber in somehow.

Leyva actually tweeted the towel "how you doing in my bag, everything ok?"

I will love Danell forever if he did the towel's tweeting too.

It was fantastic! He's always been more of a supporting member through the years. He's medaled in tons of relays but I don't remember him ever winning Worlds in an individual event. So happy for him to finally do it in the Olympics!

This is Nathan's first individual Long Course medal at Worlds/Olympics. Way to save it for the biggest possible moment, eh Nathan?

And John had a very good competition after the PH. I wanted to see him redeem himself.

"USA men's gymnasts don't medal but still keep fighting" is not a story line NBC plans to acknowledge. Which is odd, because you'd think it would be right up their alley. They eliminated the men's team from competition in the team final as soon as they stopped making mistakes.

And I thought of TG--we had the emergency broadcast BEEEPPP test right before they came back for the medal ceremony for the women's relay race. I thought we might miss it, but got done with the test in time.

As we watched it, Mom said "those jackets aren't getting any better with time"

They really do not resemble a fine wine in any way. The winter Olympic Athletes should tell NBC that they will refuse to medal if they don't get a red, white, and blue outfit.

I loved how Tim compared Nguyens two steps on the floor to Leyvas's one step on the bar. It's called the All Around not the (last event in the competition determines everything)

But Nguyen only competed on that one event when Leyva did FIVE! He should have had to have been perfect!

He has a tendency of being quick to go after others errors but not the Americans. He mentions it sometime but.. Its just really bad though because look what happened to figure skating when Hamilton and Bezic went all jingoistic?

This type of thing can happen in gymnastics....

Wuz joke. About coverage.

Marcel Nguyen wins AA silver and we only got to see his floor routine. Really, NBC, that's the best you can do? REALLY?!?!

Oh god, you are right, I will bet a lot of money that this is exactly what we'll see.

I would avoid the NBC coverage completely, but as good as CTV's coverage has been, it's not possible to show all the routines with 4 going at the same time, so I unfortunately have to supplement with NBC.

The beach volleyball commentators made one of the stupidest remarks I have heard this olympics - which is saying a lot. Showing a screen shot of one of the American player's (I think) kids - girl and boy (Hannah and I don't remember the boy's name). The announcer says - Hannah on the left and ____ on the right. Like no one could figure out who was the girl and who was the boy? I know sometimes it isn't so obvious, but this time really obvious.
