Summer Games

I remember back in '92 when the summer Olympics came around. I was only ten but I remember the Dream Team. Ever since then I've enjoyed watching the Olympics. But something is missing this year. They aren't showing anything live. I want to see the track and field. It sucks to find out the results before you even see it on tv. NBC is doing a terrible job of covering the events. It's cool to give some shine to the events that we don't normally see, but put them on USA or MSNBC. Don't put that on NBC. It seems like the only thing they've been showing is gymnastics, swimming and beach volleyball. I don't want to see that every night and I know I'm not the only person who feels that way. It would've been nice to see Tyson Gay not make the finals in the 100m dash, but I heard about it before it happened. To make it worse, the prelims for track haven't been shown unless something the network feels is important happens. Show events live, even if it's three in the morning. I've lost some interest in the games. It's so much easier to just turn on the computer and find out the results. That's how I've find out about almost everything anyway. Go USA!!! Whatever......
