- Color commentary on Olympics "Parade of Nations" varied between vaguely informative, banal, and joshingly insulting to those nations. #fail #
- Why is the American team wearing berets during the Parade of Nations? Berets? Really? #
- Okay, as goofy as the US berets were in the Olympics Parade of Nations, they beat the white + gold trim + shorts of the Brits. Crikey. #
- Dear stupid NBC natterers: I would really rather hear the official, audible stadium announcements of goings-on than your TALKING OVER THEM. #
- Wish there was a C-SPAN of the Olympics on TV — minimal commentary, maximum hearing what's happening / being announced at the event. #
- Maybe the NBC Olympics event announcers think they're working radio, so have to keep talking, continuously, lest things get boring. #
- Ping pong seems like a crazy event for the Olympics — but what's crazy is how damned FAST those folks move. Unbelievable. #
- But the ping-pong folks aren't any faster than the fencers. I've actually done that, and even I can't follow the action. Crikey. #
- Wow. Already getting object-throwing tired of overused commercials. Not even through the first day of the #Olympics . #
- Watching W Volleyball reminds me again how I wish that sport had pro leagues on TV, vs., say, most pro sports in US. #
- Team handball, the love child of soccer & basketball, more fun than either, thus not US-popular. Weird, but good scoring, nicely physical. #
- I feel vaguely guilty for rooting AGAINST someone because of the overwrought #Olympics network coverage about him. #disavowedmrphelps #

No commercials on BBC. Damn commies.
Yeah, next think you know they’ll be bragging about their National Health Service or something …
