NBC Schedule - volleyball on WTF?
NBC's website clearly says cycling is supposed to be on NBC today from 10-10:30a, 12:30-1pm, and 2:30-3:30pm
Tuned in promptly at 10am, and Volleyball has been on ever since, i don't understand?

I like women's volleyball. You guys are weirdos for wanting men in tights instead!

It gets even better--when I set today's coverage to record on my computer-based Media Center DVR, it refused: "content blocked from recording by NBC".
Not happy.

I have yet to see one wheel turn so far, i have had a steady diet of womans volleyball, womans badminton and some womans hoops, so far the olympic coverage is keeping pace with its past history. Anyone see how bored george bush was during that opening cermony, now that was funny. At one point he even looked at his watch.

you know, those women have trained just as hard as skinny little cyclists for their opportunity to win a medal...perhaps we could broaden our horizons and enjoy some other sports....there is more to the world than just cycling and I for one enjoy watching whatever is on...I thought the fencing was interesting to watch....the badminton is pretty damn cool as well IMO.

I think the only "good" cycling will be on the internet, I watched the mens road race last night, coverage marginal but I watched the whole thing, as it was live, but I think the womens got postponed. I wouldn't hold out much for NBC tv coverage of cycling. Last I saw womens road race was tonight but smog in beijing is causing trouble. not to mention NBC incompetence,
