Did you hear the pro-China crowd during the US-China hoops game? They were cheering the US team at least as much

I wouldn't draw any conclusions about what over a billion people think based on the actions of one disturbed man. These things happen everywhere in the world everyday. It's unfortunate, but it's just the way things are.

french tennis player Alizé Cornet is playing right now. looks like she'll take down hometown favorite Peng.

I've kinda gave up watching the Olympics now......the scores/results are already posted on the web before i get to watch them on TV...ruins the drama for me. To watch LIVE events, i need to watch em in the middle in the night or watch it on NBC.com.

I guess that's what i get living on the west coast.

Everything is based on Eastern time in the USA....
