OT: Olympics

so after trying to find a way to watch NBC online i finally decided to go with the NBC olympics video program (uses silverlight - like adobe flash, but microsoft) and im not sure how i feel about it... the watch 4 at once is interesting but the lack of commentary is strange

 heads up: *spoilers below*

 













 

 

 

 

 

anyway just finished watching the US vs Netherlands and wow. could the US have blown it any more?

allowing a goal at 3 ' into stoppage time? redic.

adu and bradley miss next match w/ 2 yellows each

bradley took a dumb yellow for time wasting + adu's 2nd yellow was redic - foot didnt even touch goalies face...

anyway. US should have won it but completely blew it at the end.

thats all - just thought id throw up an OT diary about it.

 -------------------------------------------

anyone watching it anywhere else other than the nbcolympics.com feed? i also am trying olympis on the go (tvtonic) which nbc backs...basically downloads the events for you to watch whenever...)

i wish i could find the nbc feed at night...but no luck so far (dont have TV where im living for the next month or so)

anyway, if anyone wants to talk olympics thats what this is for!

Olympics

I couldn’t believe the US blew it either- what a big win that could have been.

Nice to see my man Ryan Babel score for Holland, though.

And whoever came up with the Olympic Soccer and Olympic Basketball channels- genius.

You fixed it now, but that doesn’t piss me off any less. When I see spoilers, I’m also seeing US Soccer blew it basically connected to the same line. I didn’t want to see that, I wanted to see the actual competition later, and I’m pissed. End of story.

Considering they begin work on the next OS before the newest one goes on sale, that’s not really surprising.

I’m fine with getting a new OS that takes the better aspects of OS X, not just aeroglass. All I’m saying is that it’s not the worst OS I’ve ever used. Not at all.
