The Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London highlights the TV sports offerings this weekend. Here’s what else to watch this weekend in sports:
The games of the XXX Olympiad begin Friday in London. NBC, which is broadcasting an unprecedented 5,535 hours of the Summer Olympics on TV and online, is hoping Americans will be glued to their screens over the next couple weeks.
But will they?
This weekend, the eyes of the world will be on London as the best of the best compete in the Summer Olympic Games. One of my favorite events to watch is the swimming. When Michael Phelps competed at the Games four years ago, I was glued to the screen.
Just wait until you see and feel these beasts. Monster trucks feature four massive wheels that crush, smash and rip through everything. The Great New York State Fair has announced an all new event at the State Fair Grandstand, The Monster Truck Mix-Up, it's coming to the NY State Fair on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 6:30!
While soccer isn’t nearly as popular here as it is in other parts of the world, it seems to get its due in the US during the Olympics, at least. And when the women’s national soccer team won gold after a hotly-contested battle against Brazil at the 2008 Games in Beijing, its members became superstars.
At least 12 people were killed and 50 injured when a man went into an Aurora, Colorado movie theater during a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Friday morning, fired tear gas and began shooting.
Who doesn't love to watch cars crunch, bump and slam each other until only one vehicle remains moving. It's going to happen during the popular Double Figure 8 event, the Demolition Derby, coming to the Great NY State Fair on Labor Day September 3rd.
The 2012 Olympic Games are quickly approaching, and soon the city of London will be swarming with professional athletes from all over the world.
Anyone who knows me, understands how passionate and devoted I am to the Buffalo Bills. I've met hundreds of fans who will do just about anything to show support for our team. Here is a fan I'd like to meet, Robert J. Hall, 57, from Oakville, Ontario. He has made a hobby out of building Lego replicas and has just completed Ralph Wilson Stadium.
McDonald’s has a monopoly on french fries at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Being a Central NY football fan I've watched many games with Giants. Jets and Bills fans. One thing we have in common is the desire to watch the game, even if it's blacked-out. Well, depsite the option for an eased blackout policy, in order to see games on local television in 2012-13, The Buffalo Bills will still need a full sell-out.
I found out recently that a good friend of mine will be attending the Summer Olympic Games in London. She recently shared with me the photo of the admission tickets she received in the mail.
