Some really nice images from the Boston Globe (pulled from various wire services): Olympic Games opening ceremonies in Beijing - Boston.com

I hear the images from there are literally breathtaking...

Is television coverage going to be its usual mix of 15% competition, 35% smarm, and 50% commercials?

Awesome! Thanks!

Just 6 more hours, and we too... can see the damn tape delay!

I love the Olympics. I mean, I love sports. I love people from all over the world coming together to play that same sport. It's a win-win situation really!

More like:

7% Competition worth watching (Swimming, Track)
23% Competition not worth watching (i.e. Basketball, Boxing, Soccer, Equestrian, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Badminton)
20% Smarm
15% Up-Close & Personal (Unless you consider that Smarm)
35% Commercials.

So, basically there will be about 30-minutes per day worth watching.

There are some great pics in the NYT as well.

The coverage on NBC's other networks (MSNBC,CNBC,Oxygen,Bravo,etc) should be much better, with less human interest BS.
