rhgunguy Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 DVR'd a block of Olympics that was supposed to have shooting. Got home and fast-forwarded through it and didn't see a second of shooting sports coverage. Instead there was a womans basketball game that ended sixty-something to fourty-something. Went back through slower and I caught a couple of outdoorsy advertisements for one of the larger sporting goods big-box stores during said basketball game. I'm betting that said store didn't pay for basketball. I know NBC hates guns, but it's the freeking OLYMPICS! Oh well, a couple more weeks and I can go about my buisness of ignoring this joke of a network except for three hours a week during football season.

Steve RA Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree, only thing regarding guns so far was the first day when they said the lady from Texas came in 7th in 10 meter air rifle and then a little later when the 5 time Olympic medal winner won the skeet gold medal. I'd a lot rather watch some of the shooting events than 4 hours of a bicycle race !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There is shooting sports in the Olympics? I (and probably most of the world) had no idea......since they don't broadcast them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I wonder if it's just me but I have only watched a few minutes of the entire Olympics this time around. It's just not doing anything for me anymore. And I think I saw more commercials than actual competition AND they kept showing the same commercials at that.

If you wanted to see it, you had to go to one of the affiliate cable channels or watch it streaming from the nbc olympics website or through their ipad app, which is what I did.

BritinUSA Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) If you are tired of the Olympics you can always watch the Area 3 match instead... Coverage starts around 10am ET on Friday Edited August 3, 2012 by BritinUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom D. Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 As much as I love the shooting sports, watching bullseye type events, especially Olympic shooting, is slightly LESS exciting than watching paint dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
