I guess NBC pays a lot of money. When Phelps was in Beijing, they got the swimming finals time changed to morning so Americans could watch in prime time. |
Can y'all elaborate on what you are finding to be so American? Aside from the inclusion of Lady Gaga, I'm not seeing it. |
| Rafa! |
| Zidane!!! |

Good lord, so none of the athletes will be able to see the torch lit?
I’m not a fan of this show. It’s so annoying. They should’ve put it at the top of the Eiffel Tower. |
| I haven't watched yet but I hope the athletes don't all have their phones out like the last one. |
She's rumored to be. If it's going to happen seems like it will be the grand finale. |
Phelps, Serena, Carl Lewis, big boat for USA but a shared boat for the large Chinese and Canadian teams. |
They all have their phones out in the driving rain. |
| I'm enjoying how tennis-centric this last bit is. |
| I'm glad they got Mike Tirico his notes for the final torch relay at least. Meanwhile Kelly Clarkson was only capable of murmurings in the background. |
She's on now. |
| That balloon cauldron is so cool. |
Wow!? |
Ack meant wow!! |
