          By the way, as a former Martial Arts student in Chinese Temple Boxing, our Master Instructor was referred to as SIFU, would that be proper to describe say one of the Chinese should they win gold medals?

          Would one refer to them in such a manner?

          Thanks

          IIRC "sifu" means "teacher" so I'd say that it would not be a proper form of address unless you learned something particularly meaningful from watching them.

          I cant agree about Kissinger BTW.

          • I've watched a few events with the NBC silverlight thingie (I'll probably have hackers owning my PC now through some NBC/Microsoft rootkit). Slow events are OK (ie better than nothing). Fast events are slightly better than unwatchable but give me an idea of what teams to follow.

            • I hate water polo, so much! I just can't watch it. I rather watch Sunday political talk shows

              • Men's Water Polo is awesome in HD. But not for the sport.

                    Wait... I'll start one in the Sports Forum, I guess.

                        Hell with that, I dont read the sports forum I think it's dopey. Anyway, our posts are clearly not related to sport, but to the coverage of the sports.

                        • It just kills me. NBC has the video of the mens 56Kg B group weightlifting but not the A group i.e. the guys who are actually in the running for (and won) the medals! WTF? I dont have much hope for seeing much more lifting from this olympics than I've seen from any other NBC viewing debacle.

                          And whats with the damn boxing on for 5h a night? Does anyone watch the travesty known as olympic boxing any more?

                          • They're showing some badminton during the "prime time" on a non NBC channel. I guess I've been lucky watching most of the badminton on the videos. The picture sucks but I havent had to listen to the constant inane chatter of these moronic american "commentators".

                            • The best part of the NBC coverage so far was watching the men's road race (cycling). They had a British commentator who was trying to explain the concept of racing bicycles to obviously perplexed Americans. He resorted to a NASCAR analogy.

                              • I wish Bush would have made his last statement earlier, when Bob Costas tried grilling him a bit, Bob said something about when was he going to watch some more sport, President Bush said as soon as you let me off this set

                                STFU Costas, work on your sports and lets focus on sports
