My left nut. What the hell. USA basketball team plays Argentina at 8:15am MST today, I know this because I watched the other semifinal game between Spain and Lithiuania. So what does USA do, they show a ping pong match. I know the bball players are playing because there are scores on ESPN ticker. Figures that USA would screw the American people out of a semifinal game of bball.

Thanks to NBC to show a replay of the game.

Could it have been on another channel? The games have been in three different NBC affiliates here. I can't believe it wasn't on.

That's not USA, dude. That's USA under NBC's thumb. We've already established that NBC has screwed the coverage of the games. It stands to reason that USA, governed by NBC, would do so as well.

Besides, I have no sympathy for you. I have no desire to watch those spoiled freaks. I know that Swilly would smack me for this, but as far as I'm concerned, Kobe whomps, and I have no desire to watch him.

In addition, for the last several weeks at least, USA has had the most popular program on basic cable: Raw.

Good point. NBC has programmed Olympic coverage on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC (though that has mostly been boxing, and lately, wrestling), USA, and Oxygen (mostly packaged gymnastics coverage). Check ALL the channels.
