NBC's Coverage of the Olympics

What's up with NBC? Their studio coverage has been horrible! No mic for Bella Karolyi on the first night of sport coverage? Bob Costas has to hold his mic? Huge echo on the set with Jim Lampley? Cris Collinsworth providing analysis of Women's Swimming? Collinsworth's first question to Dara Torres: Can you honestly tell us that you don't use performance enhancing drugs? Are you kidding? How long has NBC known they were providing coverage of the Beijing Games? NBC locked up the rights to 2008 in 1995 and knew it was in Beijing in 2001! Seriously, you can't get a lav mic purchased in 13 years and prepared in 7 years? NBC, get your act together. With so many events tape delayed, or worse different start times depending on whether or not you live in the East and Central time zones or the Mountain and Pacific time zones, NBC can ill-afford to drive viewers away with sloppy production quality.
