Well they probably didn't need to run a promo touting an interview with "gold medal winner Missy Franklin" right before her race. That probably could have been scheduled better.

Re: The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

i care more about the results, than i do about seeing it happen. I certainly dont get upset about it. I dont expect them to keep the results from me. As they shouldnt expect me to have an increased desire to watch the event. It's a fair trade.

Me personally, I don't visit ESPN unless it's the NFL page, nor do I scan other news related stuff if I plan on watching the Olympics. I had no idea last night about the women's gymnastics winning gold before I watched it. Made it that much better!

They need to move the broadcast to ESPN in 2016.

We tried. I had the joy of co-chairing the Olympics Digital Media committee for ESPN. Do you know how hard it is to build out a 20 year Olympics plan? Damn near impossible. Anyhow, we put together what we thought was a fair offer. But alas did not get it.

They did that last night with Lochte right before his race!

They said "Watch Ryan Lochte tomorrow, who already has a silver and 2 golds..." right before his race. Idiots. Thanks for spoiling it for me.
