Silver Medal Links

The Hater’s Guide To The 2012 London Summer Olympics. I love The Olympics but I also love people making fun of things that shouldn't be taken so seriously. "There's only one good track & field and that's Konami Track & Field. Real track & field is a drugged-up freakshow." No one denies this!

NBC Claims Opening Ceremony Was Too “Complex” to Stream Live. To be fair there was some weird symbolic nonsense going on in the opening ceremony that I probably wouldn't have gotten without the commentators help. Of course I didn't need to be talked to like I was a nine year old either. Middle ground NBC?

#NBCFail: Network’s Olympic disaster earns global social media mockery. NBC's broadcast of the London games is pretty much getting killed on twitter, facebook and tumblr. I'm pretty sure even the two guys left of friendster are upset with the live feeds. As much as us internet hipsters can't believe it, Nielsen ratings are still king. It's not really in NBC's best interest to broadcast events live, yet. Maybe in 2016 I'll finally be able to watch 8 hours of uninterrupted pole vaulting just like I could in 1992 with the wildly underated NBC ppv triple-cast.

The 11 Best US Olympian Twitter Accounts. Hope Solo is kind of a jerk, right?
