I'll tune in for the men's 100m dash. Not much else interests me.

That, some rowing and the final marathon are the things I'll be looking out for.

 

[mnewsham]

Planning to watch most of the fencing, will try to catch every gold medal bout, probably will catch all of the bronze/silver medal bouts too.

I'll be cheering for Mariel Zagunis.

 

[mnewsham]

I'll be cheering for Mariel Zagunis.

Zagunis should take gold/silver for individual and we might have had a chance for another medal in the team sabre for women, but with the way the rotation for fencing in the olympics goes there is NO womens sabre team event this year

Lets hope Tim Morehouse (NSFW) can help the men.

I want to see how Lee Kiefer holds up in the olympics being just 17.

So are they still on-board for the "something big's going to happen" terrorist attack or "false flag" terrorist attack or have the conspiracy theorists given up on that one?

When is the opening ceremony in US time?

 

[EvilYoda]

Can someone take a look at the apps available for tablet/mobile and tell me which one they think is the "better" one? I think it's the NBC Olympic Live Extra but I fuck if I know.

Live Extra works fine if your provider is on-board. My local cableco is small, and I have to register an account through "Watch TV Everywhere" and log-in to Live Extra w/ that account. WTVE verifies that my TV services include a couple NBC networks (CNBC and MSNBC) and authorizes the streaming content.

Eventually, my cableco will support other content providers. This NBC Live Extra thing is a sort of test for the WTVE system. I believe we'll see Turner Networks soon and probably similar services from ESPN, HBO Go, etc.
