^Blame the athletic administration who decides to channel funds from men vb for a new private airplane for their men's bb program.

What a team. This isn't a good team. This is a great TEAM. I wish I'd been able to stay up and watch it live, but I just had to get to bed. Just tremendous and David Lee, I love you. I am so glad that mangled set by the Russians at 13-12 which wasn't called, didn't come back to bite the US. Just one more match to go. It's gonna be tough, but I don't think there is anything this team can't accomplish.

I think it's funny that Marlowe is catching flak from some pundits about the word "mismangled". As if he didn't know it's not a word.

They're showing the 5th set on NBC again. Nice exposure for the men to get on prime time again.

Russia looked like they were competing with their dads. Damn, team USA looks old. Everyone's starting to go bald. Can't help but root for them, though. They've been through a lot.

Russia looked like they were competing with their dads. They were. They just didn't know it before the match. Now hopefully after that 5th set lesson the Russians can answer that time old question ...

So how on Earth is NBC showing the mens finals NOT live??? From what I can the mens finals will on Sunday night before the closing ceremonies.

It is what they've always done, but I wish they'd make it available live for those of us who want to watch it. They can reair it in primetime. Imagine if they waited to show the men's basketball gold medal final? No, they are airing it live at 2:30 am.
