Gotnext Women's Basketball Boards

Just called NBC headquarters in NYC to voice my displeasure with them not showing any of the other womens basketball games and showing instead, badminton, handball, shooting and other "who cares" events.
The number is 212-664-4444 if ya all want to flood the lines with complaints.

I've actually been enjoying all of the events that they are showing.
For the first time they aren't showing bios and actually showing the sports.

I was shocked to see Germany play Cuba in Volleyball, Austrailia in field hockey and some of the other teams. Last Olympics we didn't get to see much of anything except Bob Costas.

I think we'll get to see more of the other teams after pool play ends.

I will call and have them tell Bob not to talk so much.

I appreciate getting to see the women live, I'd rather they have them onb their other network as a live feed then replay just parts of it in prime time. They will most likely show primetime coverage of the gold medal game.

I have enjoyed the womens softball and soceer games!

You know, I didn't realize Bob Costas had green eyes, but after seeing sooo much of his mug tonight...viola!

It was nice waking up to the b-ball game this morning and watching the end of the game. My VCR has been working overtime. Also got to watch the softball and am really enjoying the coverage of the US women. MSNBC could have gotten bonus points from me if they had showed the end of the Canada game which delayed the start of the US game.

Soccer should be good US vs Austrailia, too bad Abby Wambach can't play. :( :x She didn't deserve the yellow card, especially the way Brazil was mugging her.
