Prelims should be live online.

Finals will be live on NBC tomorrow night.

Looks like NBC had some serious pull. Traditionally prelims are in the morning and finals at night in the same day. In Shanghai prelims are at night and finals the following morning.

So around 5 a.m. eastern prelims start and 9 p.m finals in prime american time.

Swimming and waterpolo are really the only things I'm looking forward to watching. Although you wouldn't know anyone else was swimming besides Phelps and Amanda Beard from the promo's. I thought the Amanda Beard "promo's" were very tastefully done for the record.

In re: to USA waterpolo- Tony Azevedo (of Long Beach Wilson and Stanford) is arguably one of the (or the) best waterpolo players in the world. First player from the US to sign a million dollar contract to play professionally.... doing so with a club in Italy. That's insane considering the end game for an elite waterpolo player in the US is getting a partial scholarship to Stanford, USC, CAL, UCLA, etc... Getting a full scholarship means that you are probably under consideration for the national team and have been playing internationally with the junior-national team while in highschool.

USA v Serbia is on NBC wed morning and i think is the first US game televised. If you assumed the Serbians play dirty, you were correct.

Dave Johnson has a gig? One time (on TVG) I wrote that Todd guy, and told him that Caton was HER HIGHNESS QUEEN OF GREATER CHALKLAND. He loved that, because when she was at TVG she was really chalk crazy.I wish I had a fiddy for every time she said you can't pick your prices etc.
