Should be interesting to see how long she can keep it up, a swede took silver in shooting at the age of 72 in Antwerp.

A rather round about way you can find out what NBC has on the OLYMPICS, try this link

http://tvlistings.aol.com/listings/pa/c ... A37731|X#x

Now that's a COMCAST Canonsburg's tv listings so you have to look for NBC stations by name and not numbers.

These are the NBC affiliate, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Sports, also they also show Olympics on Bravo, USA and a couple others I can't find because my electric went out for six hours and the cable box hasn't fully updated yet.

You should understand that regular broadcast TV is on channels 1 through 208, and they are repeated in High Definition channels 800 through 900.

I don't know if the high definition "all Olympic soccer" and "all Olympic basketball" channels 796 and 797 are repeated in regular TV.

I don't care for televised soccer and BBall

Another corrupted Olympics.

It is a real shame. Judges who have deliberation time should be able to arrive at a decision

most would believe represents fairness.

Here we have corruption.

Any event that is judged by people is going to be biased by the experiences, preferences of judges (and maybe even some sort of bribe or threat).

Perfect performances often get unfair low score.

Flawed performances often get unfair high score.

Be it in the Olympics, or local flower show..

Those events have always been and always will be arbitrary.

Even events that have referees can be partial calling something a foul, or missing or ignoring a foul.

Events that have timers, or crossing the finish line first, those are generally unbiased and fair.

But with complex drugs being so "sophisticated" now days, is any win or loss fair?

Why worry about it. I Just watch whatever I enjoy watching.

Life's too short to spend it complaining about certain things over which I have absolutely no hope of influence or control.

And the advertisers spend their money (your money if you buy their products).

At times it seems as if the TV coverage is a channel devoted to commercials, occasionally interrupted by an Olympic event or boring interview.

Thank goodness for the DVR.

The Olympics ended and not one, NO NOT ONE Terrorist attack, I guess the security in and around London was OK, adequate.

So the question is this, will Mitt ever be welcome back?
