NBC's coverage of the Olympics is such a joke. I don't even know where to begin. I think what really set me off is they didn't show the replay of Andy Murray beating Roger Federer to capture the gold medal in tennis. Murray faced Roger at Wimbledon which is located in England a month ago and lost in the final match. He has always lost to Roger in the finals and Murray is the only English player to have such skill in many many years. The English have been starving for win at a major and they finally get one and fucking NBC does not show it. Unbelievable because Murray won IN ENGLAND, his home country and they didn't show it.
I also cannot stand Matt Lauer. Every time I see his ugly mug I wonder how my fist would feel against his jaw.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but year after year the hosts and or commentators (whatever you prefer) gets worse and worse. I am sick and tired of having American nationalism shoved down my throat about how amazing and talented our athletes are. Don't get me wrong, I go balls to the wall cheering for our athletes to win, but I cannot stand them being shoved in my face while competing countries who have some amazing performances are barely given a glance or comment. And God forbid if an athlete from another country messes up a routine while in close contention to an American for the gold medal, he/she gets bashed by the hosts. The most annoying part is when those same hosts use replay and condemn the judges who don't have replay to burn in hell for the iffy scores that are posted.
