    NBC sucks for not providing a detailed event TV listing! :mad:

    Usain Bolt is not from this planet. Hell, he might even be from the same distant world that Michael Phelps is from.

    Bolt is still young and relatively raw yet he completely shattered two world records in dramatic fashion. Unbelievable. I just wish he had the stones to run the 400 and let my boy Jeremy Wariner get a taste. :)

    Yeah and usually the most hyped events will flash in the corner of the screen '..... in 20 minutes' or whatever.

    Do I have to go through this again? Multiple people in this thread have asked for spoiler tags if you are going to give away the results of some of the main, hyped events. Look a few pages back, look one page back and people were doing it for the Bolt race. I'd prefer to watch it tonight and find out the results then as would many other posters.

    I am assuming he is on their 4x100 relay team? I bet they win that race going away with two runners that broke the records. I wonder if he can even run the 400, if he does he will be the first 100 200 400 runner.

    This thread is 100+ pages. Sorry, I just assumed between every website and Sportscenter reporting it that news had leaked. You really have to be trying to not find out the results beforehand.

    LOL seriously. People really have to not goto any news/sports website ALL DAY to stay sheltered from the results.

    That is exactly what I am doing but I cannot speak for others who have asked for spoilers as well.

    Ever since I've been out of the Olympics, it hasn't been the same. The firepower and excitement has been taken out. :D

    Yet you continue to check in this thread knowing that some folks aren't using spoiler tags.

    Are you really pretending to be Michael Phelps? The handle is one thing but the info in your profile needs to go.

    I don't know that until I check the thread out but I am not expecting it. People in the thread have commented the same thing.

    Umm, not likely!
