Running total hours recorded on my Tivo, starting with the Opening ceremony through midnight Friday--393 hours so far.
- If you were wondering what high tech method NBC uses to show the diving events--a guy drops a camera down a track at the same time the diver drops.
- The BMX Cycling event is not just EXTREME, it's insane--8 bikes going down the same narrow track at once. It's like NASCAR with bicycles--you're watching it for the crashes. I assume this event will be pulled off the QISE schedule when someone is killed.
- Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show--"Explain the difference between the Triple Jump and the Long Jump". Well, I believe there are 3 jumps involved.
- Ryan Seacrest is going to co-host the Closing Ceremony with Costas? It's the battle of the midgets.
- Oh boy, the US Basketball team is going to the gold medal match. The millionaire professionals are beating the poor amateur players--they must be very proud.
- I'm glad the volleyball audience is taking the event so seriously. In attendance were Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Incredible, and a gorilla. Someone cleaned out a London costume shop.
More to come.
