2019-Whenever Misc. Grab Bag Thread

Other than the Gojira performance during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, this is the greatest moment so far.

The Olympics are happening? Who knew.

Did you guys know that in MLB extra innings they start each half inning with a runner on second? That’s almost as bad as 3 on 3 overtime. Going back under my rock now.

Yes, this is the fifth season since this rule change was implemented!

The women’s rugby 7’s bronze medal match was awesome. A girl on that team went to high school with my daughter at Jack Britt here in Fayetteville. Jack Britt to West Point. She’s a captain in the military

Presumably on your increased level of free time. Although, this entire line of thought has gotten weird so it's hard to track.

For the record, I'm the same with the Olympics as I am with soccer. Like it, or don't. Watch it or don't. Talk about it or don't. Whatever. Just don't tell anybody else how to do their thing.

A goalie goal. In the Olympics.

Outstanding. This Olympics has had it's share of iconic moments, for sure.

 

[cmaleski2]

Wow, that was a Scott Darlingesque effort by the Greek goalie. Make an effing save!!!!!

I had cancelled Peacock awhile back but decided to reup for a month for the Olympics! It has been great, any sport, every event, any time you want to stream it! The best $7.99 you will spend...that's about the cost of one of those large Starbucks fancy coffees these days! The prime time night time regular NBC coverage is just so much fluff and not enough sports!

 

[jeffbear]

Honestly, the mere lack of having to scroll through channels has been great ... and missing all the up close and personal stuff appeals to me as well. Said the man who scrolls through the contestant chat part of Jeopardy every night :0)

The Gold Zone has been such a hit that NBC is likely to have a multi-view feature for Premier League coverage.

I've long wondered why they haven't done that. The US market freaking adores that crap.
