michael phelps--how many thing he will do it?

I think that NBC should be given kudos for improving coverage of the 2004 OT trials. Isn't this the first time that the trials were covered LIVE? Can't judge the quality of the live coverage since I attended the Trials but the taped coverage the following weekend did seem like an improvement. Also the comment about taped coverage during Track and Field Trials was well publized both in CA and NE so no complaint there and I'm not under the impression that Track received more coverage than Swimming. And isn't NBC doing a great job with those commercials that feature Phelps, Coughlin, et.al? Furthermore they promised 70 hours of DAILY coverage once the Olympics start and, while the TV coverage for the Olympics is supposed to be posted at the end of this week, I've been told that we can expect to pick-up live coverage on NBC affiliated cable during the Olympics. While for me, having every race TIVO'd would the ultimate coverage let's give NBC some credit for doing a better job covering the Trials this year. Now let's see how much of the Olympic swiming will be in HDTV.
