Ditto on what ZTABullwinkle said!

Considering that the NBC evening feeds are virtually 100% tape delayed, I'm glad that the men's all-around commentary appeared to be made during the actual live competition, and not dubbed in after the fact. Instead of all of Daggett's "gloom and doom", we'd have comments like "It would take a miracle for Hamm to come back from this and win the gold." or "It's not impossible for Hamm to win the gold after the fall." The odds of Hamm even medaling, let alone winning gold after that vault, were truly slim to none.

Besides, did y'all hear that the Koreans formally protested Hamm's win? I could have sworn Costas babbled something about that last night
