[Trunks]

lol, I just watched Michael Phelps almost miss out in the swimming final. He placed 8th, which is just enough to get into it. Got in by 7 hundreds of a second actually. Also watching Tennis, only sport where I'm rooting for another country to win, Roger Federer is too good.

[Jaykub]

[Trunks]

Thanks for the spoiler alert :/

[thedeparted]

Not my fault you didnt watch live online. Im not waiting for nbc to show it on tv to post things.

[Trunks]

ahh, I see how kind of you, I was watching tennis, since they weren't showing swimming until tonight, worked out perfectly for my schedule

[thedeparted]

i still cant believe how they delaying things for tv instead of showing them live on tv

[CraeSC111]

Well they gotta edit the footage to male it fit in the timeslot, make room for commercials and add commentary

[thedeparted]

there is live commentary and you are right about commercials. they paid a f ton of money to get the coverage, they are trying to get back to even and make more. stupid money.

edit: although none for thsi bball game, prob because everyone like eff this dont want to

[Trunks]

It's funny how sloppy everyone in playing on the USA basketball team and they're still ahead by over 15 points.

[thedeparted]

yeah we need to play more unity. doing iso or jacking a 3 isnt going to get us past the better teams

[Kenoi]

man i missed the opening on friday. but I tuned in yesterday & today, its nothin but swimming. but thats not a big deal, there's more to come I guess

[Trunks]

No one has posted in here for awhile. Phelps broke Olympic record two nights ago by being the most decorated Olympian with 19 gold medals. He still has a chance to get two more, one today with mens 200 IM and tomorrow on the 100m butterfly. His last two races of his swimming career.

Also USA is currently down 1 medal in the medal race, China has 32 and USA 31 in total medals. All the other countries are quite far behind.

[TheGateKeeper]

Am I the only one around here that doesn't watch the Olympics?

[Trunks]

From the look of this thread, I would say a lot of people on this forum don't watch the Olympics.

Wow, USA basketball team beat Nigeria 156-73, Kobe and Lebron even sat out the whole second half. USA scored 73 points before half time lol.
