Yeah, China men were marvelous.

ESPN showed Kerri Walsh and others looking for her wedding ring in the sand in Beach Volleyball.
A slow-motion camera saw it fly away and they found it.

Finally, an acceptable use of instant replay in sports.

I've read all the news reports of NBC's coverage. What a joke they're doing.

I've seen worse coverage.
With MSNBC, CBC and NBC coverage and with the Today show on site the only problem I have with it is Bob Costas.

Saw the replay; never did see the ring.

Any replay in women's beach volleyball is a good thing my friend.

Been fun to watch the swimming. And I just saw a Chinese women rip apart a line judge in a badminton match McEnroe style.

I think it would be cool to be an official in one of these silly sports. I could probably officiate a water polo match with ease.

You'd climb up the ladder faster if you've played the game.

Anybody see the Japanese gymnast slip off the rings last night? That was kind of scary!

Seriously, water polo takes some unbelievable skills. Any game that started a war between two countries is alright by me...

Back to gymnastics, what about the man who sits in the corner of the floor ex. and raises the flag if somebody steps out... not only a sweet job, but think he gets to take home that blue blazer with the rings on the crest?
