Beijing Olympics Live Thread Day 3
Olympic Live Thread Goodness: Is Anything Not Tape-Delayed At This Point?
This tape delay thing is confusing the heck out of me at this point in time. So apparently Michael Phelps isn't on live TV tonight if you're on the east coast or central time zone? I'm honestly not sure at all, anymore.

By the way, this post is tape delayed as well. It was written live by me 6 hours ago.

But anyway, we also get in to gymnastics later this evening which is always entertaining. Anyway, here's what's on this evening. enjoy the Games, even if everything you're watching is tape-delayed, and feel free to Q it up here.

Primetime 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.


Michael Phelps swims in the men's 200m free semifinal, where he is heavily favored, and in the men's 4x100m free relay final, for perhaps his second gold medal in as many days. The Americans have other medal contenders in the women's 400m free (Baltimore’s Katie Hoff) and men's 100m breast (world-record holder Brendan Hansen). Also, five-time Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin swims in the semifinal of her best event, the 100m back (LIVE ET/CT). Plus, a first look at the U.S. women's Olympic gymnastics team, led by teens Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, and the first diving gold medals of the Games (women's springboard synchro).

It's refreshing to be reminded by our President that "America doesn't have problems"
You know Kanye West was almost right when he said Bush doesn't care about black people.......he doesn't care about anyone except his cronies and his accountants.

It's weird how during primetime some stuff is live, and some stuff was from 18 hours ago. Like tonight. So far, it's been diving and gymnastics, which were done a long time ago. When it (eventually) gets to swimming, that will be live. Go figure.

Tonight on the online streaming:

Now- Equestrian: Eventing Cross Country
Now- Men's Field Hockey: Germany vs. China
9:00- Women's Handball: Kazhkstan vs. France, Brazil vs. Hungary
9:00- Women's Basketball: New Zealand vs. Spain
10:00- Archery: Men's Team Event
10:00- Badminton
10:00- Fencing: Women's Individual Foil
10:00- Weightlifting
10:30- Tennis

Owning? He was just advised to ask good, important questions. He did his job. Bush did his.

Is there a more maudlin, overly sentimental and dramatic announcer on the planet than Al Trautwig?

I only tune into the first week of the Olympics to watch swimming and that has to be one of greatest races I've ever seen.  Huge comeback in the last couple of meters, the fastest leg ever by a swimmer and yet another world record is broken.

... I take it that was a poor time to turn away from NBC

Edit: Just saw the replay, and yes it was.  I got chills from that, I can't imagine what it would've been like live (or tape delayed the first time, whatever).

What's sick about that race is that both Italy and Sweden ALSO broke the previous world record....and failed to get a medal

Worse thing about living on the west coast is that I haven't seen what you all are talking about yet.

I hate having to stay away from the site, but I'm glad I did so I didn't accidentally hear what happened.

What an amazing race.

See Mark what you don't get is Bush was never the President, Dick is and it really ticks him off when Dick makes him go talk to people. And you would be a little upset to if you had to leave your kegger with hot coeds to go talk to some sports or news guys.
