Yea, yea. Volleyball... Undefeated... Gold Medal... Blah blah blah.

But what about all of the action that went on during the timeouts? Why must we see arms getting massaged, rain pouring down and towels wiping faces when there is action aside from the action? Why can't the major networks throw us a bone and perhaps reward us a bit for waiting until 11:50 PM to watch the conclusion of an Olympic event? Is that too much to ask?

Thank the Man Upstairs for Getty Images. Oh, and I guess we can thank China as well. Until this summer, I thought I was the only one who envisioned sand volleyball cheerleaders. Booming economy aside. This one was groundbreaking. No wonder they're considered to be an "emerging" market...
