NBC retains Olympic rights through 2020

[Boltergeist]

For the low, low cost of $4.4 billion

That's a shocker in my book. Especially after losing Ebersol you would have thought they lost their shot and keeping it. But I am happy to see it stay on the peacock, Fox would have been AWFUL.

Great move, only because the NBA on NBC theme is resurrected during the basketball events.

Winter Olympics don't interest me at all and only parts of the Summer Olympics are worth watching.

I wanna see if China can beat the US in total gold medals at a neutral site.. People made a big deal of China's performance in China, but that's really nothing new. Hosting countries tend to do well. Nazi Germany had the most medals when they hosted.

With China you have Chinese people representing them. The US is basically the culture club with its representatives. To me it seems the games would naturally mean more for homogenous countries especially successful ones.

Then you have the genetically superior athletes who kinda ruin the games. Notably a lot of the black runners and people like Michael Phelps. Not a fan. I prefer geniuses of hard work as opposed to people who may have the DNA of lions and dolphins within them.

It's like watching LeBron James as opposed to Kobe Bryant. LeBron plays with better DNA. Kobe is a genius of practice and self improvement. Kobe's physical talents have never been that impressive compared to a lot of other NBA athletes. He makes up for it with incredible skill.

Are you like this all the time?

Glad to see NBC retain the rights...then again it would be interesting to have Darrell Waltrip scream "BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY" when the horn sounds for a swimming event.

This is one of the strangest posts I have seen in a while.

So sylvian prefers underage asian kids on Human Growth Horomones...as opposed to being naturally gifted

[The Saltman]

Not surprising.

sylvian by all means begin creating a league designated to "genetically superior athletes." I'm sure it will be easy enough.

Dude, they can't help it. Makes the sports better in my opinion. The human race is evolving.
