Even then ... news broadcasts on other channels ... radio in the car on the way home from work ... overhearing conversations waiting in line for a coffee etc.

ESPN and Yahoo aren't showing any warnings, and both are leading with the days results. CBS also up to date ... although Olympic results relegated to side headlines.Originally posted by eldiablo505I haven't heard any premature results on any Olympic events at all. Every single news outlet I tune into on the Internet for anything Olympic-related is showing SPOILER ALERT on any headlines.....something some folks around here could learn to use, come to think of it.
Is it a spoiler to say the beach volleyball is awesome?

Even someone who stumbles onto espn.com might see ONE result (yes, likely a bg one) and then decide to jump off. And then probably mostly skip going there for a week or two.
I stopped following about 10 sportswriters on Twitter who are covering the Olympics for the time being - not because of spoilers but because they were jamming my feed line with comments about a spectacle that doesn't interest me anyway.
I'll bring most of them back after the Closing Ceremonies.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

They don't let horses do Central Park carriage rides when it's above a certain temperature (95?), so there's precedent for sidelinings if the temp isn't "right."

First major controversy:
China has become embroiled in the first doping controversy of the London Games after one of the world's most respected coaches described the swimming prodigy Ye Shiwen's gold medal performance as "unbelievable" and "disturbing".
Ye stunned world swimming on Saturday by winning gold in the 400m individual medley in a world-record time. It was her final 100m of freestyle, in which she recorded a split time of 58.68sec, that aroused Leonard's suspicion. Over the last 50m she was quicker than the American Ryan Lochte, who won the men's 400m individual medley in the second-fastest time in history .Comment

TV coverage so far has gone like this:

Back to the studio ...
>> " ... so more disappointment for Team GB"Comment

Men's individual Gymnastics today ... one of my favorite nights of any Olympics.Comment

I guess i am too busy this summer, but this is the first Olympics i have pretty much zero interest in. I always loved watching the Games, but not this time..Hmmmmm.."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

#NBCfail has turned into a mini-meme

Another consequence of this is that millions of people are now learning about websites that stream this content illegally, and the use of VPN's to access the BBC's website which is streaming every event live and free (but can only be accessed in the UK). It is not illegal to use VPN's, and I'm not sure if there are any laws preventing someone using a VPN to access a website like the BBC ...
Seems like every 10th tweet with the #nbcfail hashtag contains instructions on how to access the BBC website.Last edited by johnnya24; 08-01-2012, 12:15 PM.Comment

No one in the U.S. needs to use the BBC website. NBC is also streaming every athletic event live and for free at http://www.nbcolympics.com/. (everything except the Opening and Closing ceremonies).Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostComment
