I watched Women's Beach volleyball this morning, Russia upset China.

US Olympic coverage is so bad, I feel bad for you guys every 2 years.

NBC sucks... But directv is making it better. I can pick out all tht swimming segments and record. Same for any sport.

Also, watching volleyball now.

Enjoyed the opening ceremony -- it really is a spectacle the likes of which you only see but once every four years. Matt and Merideth were pissing me off, though. Only a fraction of what they had to say was actually interesting or helpful; the rest of the time it sounded like they were calling the damn Thanksgiving Day parade.

Enjoyed the parade of nations too... Bob Costas can be a sarcastic little fucker sometimes, which is funny.

This NBC live extra app is working remarkably well thus far. Good resolution and little lag.

yup, totally awesome. can watch pretty much anything live, other than the opening ceremony... definitely good quality on the iPad, and was surprised it works on the iPhone too!

Apparently they changed the rules so that they have more options other than a bikini to wear.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just cancel the Olympics?

That reminds me of this Dutch guy I knew in college, who joined the club field hockey team as the only dude. That always struck me as an exceptional idea.
