It was basically a highlight reel each night. Pretty lame. And their online streams were a joke. Choppy as hell and random commercial interruptions most of which featured Tim Allen's douchetastic voice. What the fuck does "Chevy runs deep" even mean, anyway? Stupidest slogan since "Have a happy period, Always." I think I mentioned this in the Olympics thread but the BBC webcasts were the polar opposite. They gave you perfect feeds for each sport; both with and without commentary and no advertisements at all. And they were all live. I don't remember Bob Costas being as horrible as he was over the last two weeks before. Maybe I was not paying as much attention.
truck advertising is the best. fire tested, driving up sand dunes, towers, etc. more geared toward the simple folk, i guess.
costas takes himself way too seriously on a network that has pretty much been the laughing stock of major networks. always trying to be strongly opinionated and tell others how they should think or feel or matters that are often trivial and not worth discussion. he's at his worst during sunday night NFL games.
Who was the woman who interviewed the athletes right after their event?
"How does it feel to lose/miss out on a medal/be elminated in the qualifying rounds?"
"Well, seeing as I've trained hard for about 8 hours a day, 6 days a week for the last 4 years. Put my heart and soul into it and dreamed about stepping onto the podium. IT FUCKING SUCKS MONKEY BALLS YOU STUPID COW…..HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IF FEELS?"
I thought Phelps handled her brilliantly.
She was terrible.
At least we didn't have to suffer through too many 'he grew up in the projects. Raising his younger siblings alone. Working 9 jobs just to put food on the table because his father was in prison for child molestation and his mother out on the streets pimping herself for meth' blah de blah de fucking blah blah blah…..or was I just fortunate enough to miss them all?

No, there was quite a bit of that.
That shit's all gotta go, too.

Andrea Kremer is that particular example.
I am convinced most ballplayers are using performance enhancing drugs.
It sucks cause every time somebody has a good year you have to consider this..its kind of ruined the game a bit for me.. I'd like it more if they made all that stuff legal and at least you knew everyone competed from the same place.

I didn't realize Ratbastard was quiet lately because he's in the far east.
Mustaine made the comments on stage at an August 7 performance in Singapore … when he told the crowd, "Back in my country, my president … he's trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders, like the 'Fast And Furious' thing down at the border … Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there … and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."
…
He continued, "I don't know where I'm gonna live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America."

Lifting weights is performance enhancing.
Working out is performance enhancing.
Taking vitamins is performance enhancing.
Getting a good nights sleep is performance enhancing.
Batting practice is performance enhancing.
Unless a specific performance enhancement is otherwise illegal, they ought to be allowed to do whatever they damn well please (and are willing to assume the risk of) to their own bodies. It is absurd to make some arbitrary list of some performance enhancements that are allowed and some that are not.

well i guess it is out of fairness to the people who might actually want to play baseball without using harmful drugs.

As long as it isn't illegal, your point is irrelevant. One could make the same debate about people who want to have a fair chance without working out. Lifting weights can be dangerous. If the substance is only legal with a prescription, as long as a doctor prescribes it, who cares?
Remember we are JUST talking baseball. This is basically a game where (for the vast majority of the game) seven guys stand around watching two guys play catch.
I think its more unfair not to make them legal than it is to keep them illegal.. guys like Arod.. the big guys with the huge contracts and bigtime money have contacts that let them have an edge when it comes to- lets call it- doping.. they can get the better doping doctors who have the better masking techniques etc…
there is no doubt that many players who suddenly put up huge numbers are doping… yet we all sit around getting excited about the numbers and production, and get the huge contracts, when in reality they have an unfair advantage.. i think if you opened it up everyone could compete on the same grounds
do we even know who would be better player if conditions were equal? it might not even be the guys we think are really good!

There is a Youtube vid of that crazypants Alex Jones saying this making the rounds. Guessing that is where he got it.

First off, do you mean legal/illegal in a pure against the law sense or banned/not banned substances for baseball (sports)? In my earlier post I was meaning the against the law thing. As far as I care, as long as they are not against the law to use, I could not care less what method of improving his playing ability a player uses. I don't see a distinction between ingesting vitamins, nutritional supplements, HGH, or steroids (setting aside the against the law issue). It seems rather absurd to pick which (legal) means of making your body better at a given task are acceptable and which aren't.
