(Last night, one of the commentators criticized the Japanese winner for ever-so-slightly, almost using a dolphin kick out of the turn in the breast stroke final. Uh...what? They showed it in slow motion and the guy talking was smoking crack. No dolphin kick. He straight up beat our guy's ass. Shut the fuck up and accept it. In fact, applaud him for being the better man. And stop making excuses for our guy who just lost. Jesus Christ.)

Gt to disagree with you here. He definitely used a dolphin kick, and it definitely mattered - he was behind coming off the wall and was a meter or so ahead when they came up for air the first time - the same margin by which he won.
Be that as it may, I've liked watching the coverage on the other channels. There seems to be less of the crap vignettes, more action.
