Starting with the previous night...- Everybody get on the Michael Phelps hype train—right, Peacock! It’s impressive that he’s doing so well, but they don’t need to make it into a soap opera.
- Tim Daggett - unbiased gymnastics color commentator during a US men’s routine: “Uhhh, booyy”
- I normally try to skip commercials, but I’m enjoying the Nike ad where the athletes get out of control and the announcer tries to talk them down.
- Would someone explain the bizarre QISE/Star Wars promotion? Are the Rebels going for the gold? Is Michael Phelps a Jedi? This is a major misfire.
- Speaking of Phelps—the hype machine is now white hot. “The last time for Michael Phelps!!!” I’m pretty sure they said that in London.
- Hey Peacock—there’s already enough swimming without showing semi-finals in prime time...
More to come.
