First of all, I had ...James, you re-made my point. First of all, I had no idea there were other channels carrying coverage. NBC is certainly not promoting it. Secondly, I can barely stay awake past 10pm, so flicking through cable channels in the wee hours of the morning just aint gonna happen. As for the volleyball, I'm not the only one noticing this bizarre obsession on NBC prime-time coverage. EVERY SINGLE TIME I've turned that channel on, some form of volleyball has been on. I am NOT exaggerating for once.MACMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271028892253203648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33118269.post-61599485850600398822008-08-20T19:15:00.000-07:002008-08-20T19:15:00.000-07:00I haven't watched a ton of the Olympics (I've got ...I haven't watched a ton of the Olympics (I've got my hands full with twins), but I think you're being a little unfair (am I about defend a major television network?) in the criticism. NBC is showing events on a half dozen cable channels they own and if you happen to have Directv, it's 24/7 coverage on Universal HD. It could be that I'm watching events in the wee hours while changing diapers, but I've seen everything from fencing to badminton (which is freakin' awesome by the way) with no mention of any Americans competing. In fact, I recall that at least some of the rowing coverage has been very British and Australian centric as those are sports dominated by them.<BR/><BR/>But my total viewing time has only been a few hours, much of it when I should have been in bed...Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763999112189996532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33118269.post-23547591034148766972008-08-19T10:22:00.000-07:002008-08-19T10:22:00.000-07:00Btw - your wish is my command.

We are completely frustrated with NBC's coverage of beach volleyball and why and how those ladies are losing their wedding rings and wearing black tape. I want to see other sports as well - its the OLYMPICS for crying out loud. I'm glad I am not the only ones who feel this way.Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104026597150722305noreply@blogger.com
