I'm disappointed that NBC chooses to hype up the losses and rub the athletes' noses in it instead of congratulating medalists on their wins (other than Michael Phelps). What makes them think that people at home want to hear them criticize these incredible athletes? From the sound of some commentators and sidelines reporters, especially in gymnastics, you'd think a silver medal was shameful. Most of the interviews are either boring or offensive, and therefore I'd prefer they just forget them and switch to covering other sports.
