I though the closing ceremony was pretty good. They had a wide range of people, but couldn't they have gotten the good Gallagher brother? Liam sucks, Noel is where it is at.

Agreed on all points. I'll add in that TSN, Canada's tv coverage feed, did much the same yap-yapping as NBC. Some color commentary is great, but endlessly yammering on and on and restating the same things over and over ad nauseum is just too much for most viewers. It's like they decided to simply cater to all those with ADD out there who only tune in for a few minutes here or there, so they keep on talking.
To GB, absolutely well done. That was a hell of a great games, as I knew they would be. The host country also kicked royal ass on the podium, so double well done.
