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

[suep1963]

OK--so the guy just says "there's something else for the judges to consider" just as the camera is on the back ends of two divers.

Just saw this on twitter and was very amused:

[Cachoo]

I would suggest taking a sip of wine, swig of beer or whatever every time NBC says Phelps but they say his name so much I think I would have a whopper of a headache tomorrow.

Sam is so hilarious! One of the reasons he's my favorite

High five!

Did we ever find an answer to why every other women's beach volleyball team seems to wear their bras over their outfits?

[suep1963]

I think it's because their names and numbers are on the back of the bras and not the shirts. (But I could be wrong)

Now, the announcers can stop jinxing them talking about the streak. Don't they know you never do that? Anyway, since most of you don't care about beach volleyball

Spoiler

they win the match and crush the Austrians in the 2nd set. Needless to say, they were pissed at losing.

Karri's playing with an eye infection. I can't imagine that the sand makes that feel good.

[Lacey]

Yes, that, names.

I told my friends (as I was playing a video game, for the first time) that I drove much better in real life than on Mario Kart.

Seeing Hampton court makes me want to go back to London so much.

I bet watching the Cycling around the Palace was amazing.

Please, I don't wanna die from alcohol poisoning.

I don't get why everyone else didn't get shirts with names on them. Seems like a silly lack of foresight.

I've decided there's no such thing as too much men's diving.

Word! Can't get enough of all the junk in the front and the trunk!

Me too. Finally figured it out when my nephew got a driving game where you looked through the windshield of the car instead of an aerial view above it. I do better when the view I have in the game is like real life.

It would, but then, it won't be the first time something about the Olympic outfits have made me go

I don't like this Sears commercial

I peeked and actually appreciate the spoiler! I've spent a significant chunk of my adult life being impressed by Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh!

*More* Ryan Seacrest??

[Lacey]

He's going to give us a report on social media.

I fear they are grooming him to take over Bob Costas' hosting position once he retires

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm a bit surprised that Gabby Douglas was the most talked about of the US Gymnasts last night. My feed was all McKayla Maroney.
