The smog is unreal..they showed a TV shot outside the stadium today..visiblity was about 500ft at mid day..even pedestrians walking in the 200 ft range were hard to make out.
I honestly think these Olympics are going to be a bit of a farce, between the pollution, the sure to come doping scandals, lack of spectator attendance from other countries and a general feeling that the Chinese govt is watching every move anyone makes doesn't lend it self to creating the proper Olympic atmosphere.
I do plan to watch several specific events tho, but from all indications there is over 3600 hrs of Olympic TV programming so I think a fairly extensive DVR scheduling session will be in order...lol
the US TV Event Schedules are listed here:
