So now Michael Phelps finally has won his 8 medals now. What’s also lame is that they’ve been showing Phelps walk from the podium for 5 minutes followed by a 10 minute one-on-one interview with Bob Costas. Phelps deserves it but after seeing Michael Phelps on TV every 30 seconds for the past 7 days I’d really like to see some different faces. It’s an amazing accomplishment but geez the guy is on the screen ALL the time. I don’t like the way NBC overexposes olympic athletes.

Also Usain Bolt from Jamaica won the gold for the 100M dash. they showed him celebrating for about 5 minutes also. Isn’t that type of celebration coverage slightly excessive? I thought the Olympics were about sportsmanship but apparently NBC thinks the Olympics are all about celebrity and individual accomplishments. NBC could shave some of the celebration time off and show some different sports.

I wish I had CBC (Canadian television) in California. NBC sucks balls. Universal HD is slightly more diverse but they show a bit too much boxing.
