I wonder how many other people saw the nipple slip during the US vs. Spain underwater replay. It happened between first and second quarter. HAH! It was a little over 2 seconds!

Re: London 2012 Olympics

Y'know, in chess tournaments they call this the Swiss Gambit. The idea behind this gaming of the system is to lose against a weaker player early on. Later on, the strongest players are beating on each other, while the gambitor is playing inferior opposition and thus hopes to sneak into the money that way.

Since chess has no knockout round in their competitions, this is less of an issue, but apparently the Chinese teams were trying to avoid playing their countrymen in the knockout rounds, the better to increase the country's medal count. If the goal was simply to win, this is just gamesmanship, but since this is the Olympics, sportsmanship is serious business.

Re: London 2012 Olympics

Its annoying here in the states with NBC being the only local channel provider having rights to broadcast the Olympics. They repeatedly cut out parts of events just to make it "more thrilling". When I see gymnastics I want to at least see one of every rotation. We did not even see the US Mens team go onto the rings or the high bar. All we saw was pommel horse, floor routine and at least 30 minutes worth of commercials.

I'm sure the internet will accomodate any event that nbc isn't covering.

I'm aware. But, nothing beats sitting on the couch in the cold glow of the TV watching ping pong and having a beer.
