Olympics thread

Go USA.

Whatcha watching?

Just watched Borat countryman win a Gold in a cycle race

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.

haha yeah i watched that as well, im just watching whats on nbc and reading gaf to see whats going on

Just saw this commercial

Morgan Freeman has one of those voices, he could read the phonebook and make it sound like the most amazing ting in the world.

couple swimming finals about to air, well online. on tv they are delayed because nbc is airing them during primetime for ratings

edit: lol at phelps finishing 4th

America will win.. trust me.

Thanks for the spoiler alert :/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

yeah work hasnt has gotten in the way of me following. but yeah that cray how much we won by
