Is the commentaries done after the taping? The only reason I ask is on the live streaming, there is no commentary. Live streaming on NBColymics.com for me has always has commentary, but the commentary I hear when I rewatched stuff in primetime last night was different.

What is it we have against Barnett again? He is so much better than almost everyone else doing "analysis" for NBC. Is it the fact he's not a cheerleader?
One word: Daggett.

NBC sucks because they devote 75% of their prime time coverage to gymnastics. Stuff that's ALREADY HAPPENED! In other words, they could get through it in 20 minutes.
Trautwig!

You can try this at home! STEP 1: Make a list of the top-televised prime-time Olympic sports. STEP 2: Make a list of the sports which show the most skin/muscle. STEP 3: Cross off any sports which are on both lists. STEP 4: Read what's left.

I just kind of skeeved over the women's gymnastics. The athletes look like teenagers (and usually they are), but they are glammed up. And the announcers going into raptures watching them ... the whole thing makes me think of The Hunger Games.

Judging from what I remember of the college experience, Greeks still do a lot of nude activities...

There's something intrinsically wrong with a sport whose best athletes are washed up by 20, if not sooner.
The whole thing is beyond creepy. It's like Figure Skating, but for pre-pubescents. Without the ice. I guess the female skaters don't make it to their 20s either.
Is there another one?

www.uclabruins.com/sports/olympics/spec-rel/072912aac.htmlTelevision at the Olympic Games is something totally different from televising a UCLA football or basketball or volleyball event. The Olympics hires broadcast crews known as the 'world feed', and all countries accept that television production and graphics as their base picture to send back to their home country. NBC is no exception, but NBC has the budget to have a couple of its own cameras at each of the broadcast locations. We have our own broadcast trailer, but it is nothing like having your own television truck with complete control of the broadcast. It tests our producers Jack Graham (he did the 2008 Olympics and tons of beach) and Jeremy Olson (he did the USA Olympic qualifying matches) to blend the world feed with NBC shots in producing what you see at home in the USA. Last night's first USA women's match vs. South Korea put our broadcast crew to the test of patience with the world feed. Our world crew that was hired is from Cuba with a local coordinating producer. My job is to do statistics for the announcers. Unlike USA home events where I am responsible for helping the graphics truck with the match score and in-match graphics on players, that is all done by the staff at the World Feed (NBC has no control of this). Last night was a diaster for us because the score kept being wrong for our announcers, and the cuts after plays were to the wrong players. It makes all of NBC look bad to you at home when mistakes are made, but it is not really our fault. I am glad I wasn't around last night when NBC had its discussion with the Olympic Broadcast committee to let them know the quality the NBC expects for the amount of money it is paying in Olympic rights. I can guarantee our next broadcast with the men vs. Serbia will be a lot better technically,, and there won't be the mistakes in the score you see at home. It was an interesting opening day of the Olympics for our NBC staff, and we are looking forward to the men on day two. By the way, it was good that the USA women won their opening match, and Karch Kiraly as assistant coach got a lot of TV time.

Best feed I found Saturday was a BBC broadcast -- no commercials no announcers, just the game and the sounds in the arena. Bliss.

If The Ramseys had lived in Moscow, probably JonBenet would still be alive and have a couple medals to boot.

If you get NBC Sports on cable you could've watched some live beach volleyball action very early this morning ( along with the eight people in the stands). r u serious about this? i wasn't watching, so i'm relying on you.

I was referring to the early Saturday morning match between Xue/Zhang and Vasina/Vozakova, it started at 10:00 AM London time and the crowd was very sparse, at least at the beginning. People started trickling in as the match went on. I know that empty stands has been one of the problems at many events in London. A lot of tickets were given to corporate sponsors who are not using them. If you watched gymnastics last night, the troops in military uniforms sitting in the prime seats in the background were used to fill them.
