NBC Thread - Day 8 - Fluffier Than Downy

[Fridge_Break]

Anybody watching?

Starting off with track tonight.

[ilovepaydays]

Absolutely thrilled with Galen Rupp's silver medal!

[Fridge_Break]

The times those guys put in for a 10K is just mind boggling.. when I was at my peak of marathon training, my PB was over 48 minutes (aka 20 minutes slower than what they ran here )

[A.H.Black]

Still 45 minutes away here. I'm looking at the spoiler results now. I predict we will end the evening with a whole lot of Michael Phelps. I'm not complaining. For tonight, he deserves it.

This must be a record for the number of fluff pieces that NBC has had in an Olympics.

[london_calling]

Cool Usain Bolt fluff. Jamaica has such an amazing track and field tradition.

I'm still impressed - I might could see that distance if I used bins.

I always love the countries that are represented in track & field, it's fun to see that they really come from all corners of the globe

So glad that NBC showed Pistorius' race! And he advanced!

[ilovepaydays]

Oscar Pistorious

I REALLY hope that South Africa wins a medal in the 4 X 400 relay so he gets a medal.

That was just fantastic to watch! Congrats to him.

I know this is bad for me to think, but I can't help but wonder that LaShawn Merritt withdrew from the 400m because of fear of failing a drug test. I live in Hampton Roads and his failed drug test was the biggest story here.

[Citlali]

Commercials and fluff.. where are the sports?

Oh beach volley

[Fridge_Break]

I think we were spoiled with Kerri & Misty's first match against the Australians -- that was excitement from start to finish. This match hasn't had much to get excited about other than it looks like they're going to advance.

[Prancer]

This match isn't very interesting.

So I'm not too irritated at all the interruptions to tell us about the severe thunderstorm warning! Take shelter! Dangerous lightning!

[Skittl1321]

Hitting a ball back into play that was clearly going out, serving into the net... Are Kerri and Misty trying to get in on the badminton scandal?

I would hope not -- this is an elimination match!

Watching volleyball brings back bad gym class memories for me.

[rfisher]

Gibbs/Rosenthall's match earlier today was more exciting, although, I kind of like teams I want to win to do so without me having to pace around the room during the match. Apparently, Bill Gates is a big Misty/Kerri fan and dropped by to chat with them after the match. He also saw them in Athens and Beijing

STOP TALKING ABOUT STREAKS you've already blown one of them.

[my little pony]

in gym i once broke one of the ceiling lights serving (badly)

that's all i think of when i see volleyball on tv
