“congratulations to o-town on winning the bronze medal in men’s gymnastics.”
dear u.s. men’s olympic gymnastics team:
look, i know you’re really young and really excited to be on international television, but please stop mugging for the camera every four seconds and saying “USA baby! we’re number one!” a- you’re number three. b-you’re on the world stage, show a little dignity. i’ve seen jv high school football teams on the local news with more class and composure. thanks!

I think, worse than the showboating by the gymnasts, were the broadcast decisions made by NBC. Instead of showing the (relevant) competition while they were performing, NBC chose to focus on our athletes waiting around and twiddling their thumbs.
