I wish it was Rebecca Howe instead of Rebecca Lowe doing the daytime coverage with Bryant Gumbel Jr.

I only watch (I have it on while doing other things) the Olympics during prime time, and my focus is on swimming so no complaints from me. Yes, it's been keeping me up later than usual, but that's been the case for football, baseball and basketball games for years.

When she was jesting about "giving it a go" on the uneven bars I was envisioning how hilarious it would be to watch the former chav fall on her face.

Hopefully she's en route to Los Angeles to cover the Premier League. She's not suited for an American Olympics broadcast.

Concerning The Today Show...

they should put Matt Lauer and Billy Bush on bikes without brakes and have them do the show going up and down the hills of Rio.

These announcers are unbelievably awful. I really don't think they know the sport that they are covering
