Yes not all of em, but most. - EtherGnat, on 08/08/2008, -1/+24I know two things you don't want to miss at the 2008 Olympics: Bia and Branca Feres, the Brazilian synchronized swimming twins.

- phyuk, on 08/08/2008, -6/+20Hell YAH! Let the games begin! I am staying up all night for the opening ceremony!!!
Beer check
Coffee check
Red bull check
WOOT LETS DO THIS!!!...I should ease up on the red bulls...... - Daniel591992, on 08/08/2008, -1/+15This time, the marathon will be decided on who runs the farthest.
- Lust4Me, on 08/08/2008, -3/+15...if you're American. I would shorten that list a bunch, although Phelps would stay.
- vacuum2440, on 08/08/2008, -2/+13easy there american bias..
- Patrickdnj, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8Er, It's only 'till midnight....... I don't really think you need so much caffeine..........
- Cotterdamn, on 08/08/2008, -5/+1311. Female beach volleyball.
- shadeOfGrey, on 08/08/2008, -0/+712. Brazilian twins synchronized swimming.
- HayString, on 08/08/2008, -0/+7*you're
- phile50, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6so right, you mean.
- TrevorPace, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6No. Not on American television at least. Canadians have been laughing at your horrible coverage since the 60's. It's always about your own athletes.
Mind you Canadian TV does emphasize Canadians a lot...but this year the CBC is stream live footage of most of the games. - FrankTheTank17, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6#1 on the list should be beach volleyball.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -4/+10Here's the list:
1. Opening Ceremonies
2. Michael Phelps’ Quest For 8 Gold Medals
3. 41 Year Old Dara Torres
4. U.S. Men’s Basketball Tries For Redemption
5. Marathon Runners Vs. Beijing Smog
6. The Lopez Taekwondo Family
7. Softball And Baseball’s Last Go Round
8. Shawn Johnson Goes For All-Around Gold
9. Tyson Gay Going After Title Of World’s Fastest Man
10. Lopez Lomoung Goes From Refuge To Olympian
Will you be able to see them if you live in the United States?
1. you betcha
2. spandex sport, check. human interest story, check. NBC coverage, yes
3. spandex sport, check. human interest story, check plus. NBC coverage, yes
4. of course
5. The marathon doesn't even show up on NBC's TV schedule
6. despite the commercials featuring the family and the obvious human interest angle, no TV coverage from NBC, online only.
7. You are in luck, NBC cable channels will show a number of games and the gold medal game will be on NBC.
8.what do you think? It's a spandex sport that women love. NBC programs the olympics for women.
9.10. lots of track and field coverage on all NBC networks, you know they'll drive these story into the ground
Anyone remember when the Olympics were about the sports and not human interest stories shot through gauze filters with stirring music? - kungfuscious, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5No mention of Usain Bolt in the 100m?
- altinnovation, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Save the "legal age" stuff for someone else. I myself WILL watch all the gymnast ass 16+ with the biggest eyes anyones ever seen (I'm 18 though :) )
- fenderjazz, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Tyson Gay is a ***** monster. I'm really excited to see him dominate.
- kingcam, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5This was terribly written, just look at the section on basketball...
- n3demonic, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Even George H.W. Bush isn't missing it. (Said so distinctly in his interview with Matt Lauer) Man knows his priorities.
- mousky, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4The title is incorrect. It should read "10 Things Americans Don’t Want To Miss At The 2008 Summer Olympics".
- ZeNiTH456, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4"The Des Moines, Iowa native has a bronze version of herself stationed in the Iowa Hall of Pride and this month she’ll appear as a butter sculpture next to the annual butter cow at the Iowa State Fair."
A butter statue? Are you serious? - dannydyer1000, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Protip: Do some coke while you're at it - it'll help you concentrate with all that caffiene in your system!
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -2/+5hot Chinese women...
- EdmontonEh, on 08/08/2008, -0/+310-4
- dagnabbit, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3The marathon's not on the TV schedule? *****. I think they've got online coverage as well though. And it's on multiple channels owned by GE.
- greenlight2001, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3mmm.... female gymnastics (but only those of legal age!)
- GMofOLC, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3I for one am going to miss Carly Patterson this year.
- perfectsilence, on 08/08/2008, -3/+6You don't want to miss to see China win more gold than USA, we are all witnessing the new world order change hands.
- Ravatar, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3I'm skipping every Olympics until it becomes less of a blatant international advertising circlejerk.
Put the Olympics on public access television or PBS live from the source or GTFO. - lekahe, on 08/08/2008, -2/+5Luckily I don't have to stay up all night :)
- theutopian, on 08/08/2008, -2/+511. Miss the whole damn thing because some people are boycotting the games.
- WiretapStudios, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3This is also the first year for BMX! They have time trials on dirt tracks unfortunately, pretty sweet, but doing tricks would be a lot sweeter.
- FearlessFreep, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Just hoping Diana loses. She's only there because the officials wanted all three Lopez' there
- shutaro, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I'm skipping every Olympics until it returns to it's original purpose: the glorification of Zeus.
- hughesj919, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Uhh he tweaked it in the 200, not the 100. He's in the 100.
- carlosos, on 08/09/2008, -0/+2I'm guessing they get rid of it because not many countries participated in it. They want sports where many countries participate.
- aking7, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2On number 9 they somehow failed to mention that current world record holder Usain Bolt is also in the race. Look for Jamaica to take 2 of the top 3 spots.
- Jakkers, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2From "refuge" to Olympian eh? That's quite an impressive transformation - from a place of protection to a world-class athlete.
- darkchild82, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3Well, I can agree with no. 1 on that list. If you missed the opening ceremony, then you better catch the re-run or something. It was stunning!
- Smokeydabear, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I can't agree with his Iraq War policy, but I can sure agree with his bouncing boob policy. In all seriousness, volleyball is a very cool sport to watch because there is always a lot of action.
- pitdog, on 08/08/2008, -3/+5booooring
- HawkeyeMatt, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Very.
http://preview.tinyurl.com/5r8l9x - j.carcinogen, on 08/08/2008, -2/+411. You also don't want to miss the Russian invasion of Georgia (just north of Iran). Both states are UN members and Georgia has wanted to join NATO. Georgia's president pleas for help while the world's media reports on the Olympics being ran by a police state.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Wow. Wow wowwowowowowow. Man they are good lookin'.
- hakluytbean, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1Jennifer Goldsack, she had dual nationality to begin with and was a square peg in the Team GB setup for various reasons: http://www.talkrowing.co.uk/talkrowing/index.php?s ...
- dannydyer1000, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1Proti-- you know what - ***** it, just TiVo it, you crazy bastard.
