EVERYONE with ears agrees that the Star Spangled Banner is one of the best American poems/songs ever composed. Our national anthem is by far the best national
anthem in the world. It's so great.

I think that it should be "My Country Tis of Thee" just so we could outshout the Brits when they sing God Save the Queen.

Well the Chinese won the most gold medals, thanks in large part to the judges.

There were 31 different categories of sports being contested in Beijing (in 302 competition groups).
What percentage of television time did NBC devote to the following six events (113 competition groups - 37.4%) as a collective whole, I wonder? - Swimming - Diving - Track and Field - Basketball - Gymnastics - Volleyball (beach and indoor) It was a whole hell of a lot more than 37.4%, that's for sure. From what I saw, those six events accounted for around 85% of the TV coverage, I'd venture to guess. Too much damn overkill on less than 20% of the events, while the other 80%+ was almost universally ignored by NBC. It was a horrible, horrible job by them as far as diversified coverage goes. |

Those are the only events I saw. I understand NBC is US media, but still I wish they would show coverage of 'the Olympics' instead of 'US athletes
at the Olympics'.
And the CBC coverage was just so amature looking and unexciting that I didn't watch any of that. They need some better cameras and brighter lighting or summat. |

Yes! That's exactly why I kept turning to NBC. CBC's picture quality is terrible and the commentators are so boring and unexciting. At least the NBC
commentators were annoying/bias/obnoxious. CBC's people were so dull.

Wrestling only got like a full day of coverage because it was Boxing's off day, and in reality they kept talking about Boxing. Archery actually got okay coverage, but they only showed the finals and a few semis. Unlike swimming and running were we had to see EVERY SINGLE RACE(Okay, short track events are fine cuz they're over and done with in 10 seconds). I wish DirectTV got regular BBC in addition to BBCAmerica, which really sucks. |

NBC's coverage outside of swimming and the first couple of nights of gymnastics pretty much sucked, but since I (like all of us posting in this thread)
have Internet it really wasn't that big of a deal since about the only sports that could not be seen online live as they were happening were indoor
volleyball and beach volleyball (which sometimes were shown broadcast live) and track and field and the event finals in gymnastics.
As much as the broadcast sucked a lot of the time, the online stuff was awesome and it was amazing to discover how much more intense and interesting some sports could be without any stupid idiot announcer blathering over it. |
