Remember what I wrote earlier this week? I said I'm not watching the Olympics. This is another example why:
Tonight in prime time, NBC will show the 100-meter sprint finals. Pound-for-pound, second-for-second, it's the greatest -- the most dramatic -- event in sports.
And I already know who won.
All of us do. Usain Bolt won this morning. NBC or USA or whoever's showing these Games could have shown the event live, but instead they had the U.S.-Spain basketball game (good choice), Argentina-Holland soccer (solid choice) and a doubles tennis match (dumbest choice in TV history).
But I'll be sure to watch tonight when NBC shows the 100-meter sprint and asks me and the rest of the world to pretend we don't know who already won.
Jeez ...
