We should have taped delayed MORE of the Olympics, says NBC Sports chief

I really enjoyed the rafting, canoeing, shooting (bow and gun), dressage, decathlon, and biking - which I feel NBC did not cover adequately. Usually just the highlights were presented in those sports. I know, you can’t please everybody. NBC just didn’t fill my bill.

Some of the field events (plus the decathlon) felt like Wide World of Sports summaries. I can understand editing out the stretching, bouncing and running around trying to find his shirt like one athlete did, but they skipped too many athletes and too many rounds. I would like to see every jump in order of the pole vault instead of four vaulters with skipping half the rounds.
