More on the Games.
Earlier today, I was watching the NBC coverage of the match of Women's Beach Volleyball. About three-fourths of the way through, the I heard the commentator say something that told me who was going to win: "This is the second set; the U.S. team won the first."
Regardless of how spoiler free a person tries to stay, NBC will keep cutting us down like this. See, when airing volleyball or like sports in prime time, NBC will only air the final set. When the set count is tied, this is okay, but when one team has an edge on the set count, then the viewer knows that team will win.
Dear NBC programmers: The Olympics are like steak. Don't try to turn them into a Big Mac.
In other news, I have only three holes for the July Enigma: 7, C6, C7. I don't expect to spend much time on the crypts, but if I manage to bend flat #7 to my will, then I'll have to make a run at the issue complete.
