NBC Fails in Their Coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics — FanIQ Blog
In honor of NBC's superb delivery of the 2008 Olympics, here's the announcement that came immediately after the women's indoor volleyball bronze medal game.
Yes, dut-dut-ffff indeed. Apparently since Lester Holt was supposed to be on live, they didn't know how to handle it. This is pretty understandable, since they've shown almost NOTHING live so far.
Thanks, NBC, for a job ...
