Yup. Let's me know when I can make popcorn or another drink.

I should say this. Having worked a Summer Olympics in TV Production, they do a masterful job of storytelling. There's no way to please everyone, and the logistics of what you see on the air are truely remarkable given the number of venues and events, amount of equipment, communications, etc.

Using their other networks (USA, CNBC, MSNBC, etc.) for long form coverage of some events really helps for the purist.
