Soxbadger Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Delay on weekdays makes sense. Delay on weekends for something that would be 2 pm cst, does not make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That let in a second Australian, who was ranked #28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, but when you're not going to show May-Walsh at 5 p.m. and then when you do show them in primetime you show 1/4 of the match that's not cool. They showed Gibbs/Rosenthal live at 3 and you got to see the whole match. How does that make sense? Save the more popular thing for primetime only to show less of it?

Soxbadger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree, its odd what NBC is doing. If anyone is interested here is our recap of last nights NBC events: http://flapship.com/mondays-london-2012-olympics-recap/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they can turn it into a sports soap opera instead of a live sporting event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Yeah it wasnt that bad as it would have been a major calamity if he didnt medal.

Honestly, you just have to view the NBC airing as a way to see what happened. It's just too impossible to kill time at work and not have these things spoiled.

I do, but when the rules of this thread were specifically to use spoilers until the event airs live, I would assume that everyone can follow a simple request. Its just like using spoilers for a TV show for the first 24 hours, its a courtesy to other readers. As I said, Im not going to ESPN, Im not going to Yahoo. If this thread was filled with spoilers, i wouldnt come here either. That being said, the US Olympic feed just sent out a spoiler, at minimum youd think theyd be on the same page with NBC.

IlliniKrush Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sure it's a courtesy, but if you are that concerned with watching it tonight to find out the results, you avoid ALL media and internet sites that you don't need for work, especially a thread about the Olympics.

I've only popped in and out of this thread so I didn't know we had established rules. At any rate, if I didn't want to know I personally just wouldn't have come in here. Same reason i avoid the TV thread if there was a show on I missed and had to DVR. Just seems the b****ing in general (not necessarily here) about people "spoiling results" has gotten quite absurd this Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) From this point forward, if people are going to discuss Olympic events, please use spoiler tags if the event has NOT yet aired in the US. Thanks all!

I normally would avoid it, but the rule of this thread is not to post spoilers without spoiler tag. This was specifically posted in this very thread. I figured Balta didnt see the original post which is why I pointed it out, so that others would realize the rule. If you dont like the rule, feel free to complain about that.
