He's been fantastic at every Olympic games he has worked with the BBC. I have always wondered why he has worked for the BBC rather than an Amercian network. I can't see the BBC paying him a ridiculous amount. Maybe the prestige of the BBC factors in.

Nah, he does do work for US networks as well, just like McEnroe. However, I think the BBC have his services for the premier events like the 100m and 200m, I hope they get him into the stadium before the 200m final because his commentary is very insightful.

THIS SHIT IS HYPED

 

[Bruiserk]

Is anybody watching live on CTVolympics.ca? Their livestream is not working for me.

 

[Dark Schala]

I hope we have a decent football match.

 

[Steelrain]

Aw fuck.....one of them don't know the anthem.


I heard one of them say that shit wrong.

Oh well . GET HYPED!!!!

That's what I'm thinking. BBC obviously got to him first and he enjoys the role and probably has more freedom than on an American network. Then there is a lot of mutual respect and appreciation between the BBC and Johnson, and with that comes loyalty.

I'm not going to lie, we (usa) have far and away the best national anthem.

 

[Iceman]

His second 100 is faster because he is beginning it at an already running start.

No, you dont. Japan has already beaten you there.

I love our anthem but Russia's is pretty good too.

No, you dont. Japan has already beaten you there.

Russian anthem is pretty good.

 

[Jezbollah]

It does. Italy's a close second.

The USA would do well to have the Hendrix version of their anthem played at every sporting event, then it would be the best.

Azerbaijan has the best by far

 

[Pollux]

No, you dont. Japan has already beaten you there.

haha...no...not even close.

Russia maybe, but in Soviet Russia...well you know...

No hands down, it's the Italian national anthem.

She destroyed them.

Oh we know...

What do you mean?

83000 at Wembley. :goodcrowd:

That's what I'm thinking. BBC obviously got to him first and he enjoys the role and probably has more freedom than on an American network. Then there is a lot of mutual respect and appreciation between the BBc and Johnson, and with that comes loyalty.

He's been reporting for the BBC for years and years now. They wouldn't have let him go for these games.

 

[Dark Schala]

Man, Russia's anthem is really good.

 

[Clydefrog]

LETS GO USA

 

[Jezbollah]

The best anthems are the ones you enjoy signing at high voice IMO.

The Soviet/Russian anthem is great (that sining in The Hunt For Red October..lol). Italy is great too - it must be great to sign to. So bombastic.

 

[Kurita]

France's anthem is the best yo.

 

[Wes]

That is the best looking referee I've seen since Collina.

83000 at Wembley. :goodcrowd:

It's not 83000. Around 70,000 IMO. Lots of seats in the second tier upwards.

 

[Pollux]

Would anyone else support changing our national anthem to Free Bird?

Edit: love those USA chants!!!

 

[Kurtofan]

France's anthem is the best yo.

I concur.

It's working for me... http://www.ctvolympics.ca/videos/channel/obs9/watch/football-gold-wembley.html

Not sure why they're not showing this match on TV, but w/e.

 

[danwarb]

Yeah Russia picked the best national anthem. No contest. Chills and I'm not Russian.

 

[Steelrain]

She destroyed them.



What do you mean?

We know how strong she is as a runner.

 

[Jezbollah]

Would anyone else support changing our national anthem to Free Bird?

That would suck. They would only play the first 30 seconds of it.

Either that or he doesn't want to be forced to get his point across in 10 seconds he'd get inbetween the cheese string and pizza commercials.

 

[Kurita]

That rally, wow.

 

[DeFiBkIlLeR]

It's 83,000...

Amazing that they can fill Wembley on a Thursday afternoon like that after all the whining early on about crowds at these games.

 

[Pollux]
