I didn't watch NBC much during the Olympics (the CBC coverage was vastly better) but it seemed whenever I tuned in during the first week I found not any actual competition but Bob Costas saying roughly "Michael Phelps Michael Phelps Michael Phelps 'Baltimore Bullet' Michael Phelps interview Michael Phelps' mother Michael Phelps swimming Michael Phelps Michael Phelps women's gymnastics Michael Phelps Michael Phelps Michael Phelps and a bunch of other random sports and competitors we're not going to talk about because that would leave us less time to talk about Michael Phelps."Tim Tebow is no Michael Phelps. Tebow is great as a dual threat QB... but Michael Phelps is out of this world for what he's done.
CBS Sports to Stream Entire 2008 SEC Football Schedule on CBSSports.com
Gainesville, FL - Wednesday September 10, 2008
CBS Sports, the exclusive national over-the-air broadcaster of Southeastern Conference home football games, will stream its entire 2008 SEC college football schedule live on CBSSports.com. This includes Florida’s showdown with Tennessee in Knoxville on September 20th at 3:30pm EDT. All games will be streamed free of charge.
"In keeping with CBS's vision of using multiple platforms to better serve our viewers no matter where they are, we are pleased with the cooperation of the SEC to be able to stream all of our SEC ON CBS games this season," said Mike Aresco, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports.
"We're excited to give fans the ability to watch live college football for free on CBSSports.com from one of the most competitive conferences in the country," said Jason Kint, Senior Vice President and General Manager, CBSSports.com. "As we've already seen with the huge success of March Madness on Demand, one of our main goals is to give fans without access to a TV the ability to view as many of the first-class productions of CBS Sports as possible, either on the Internet or via wireless devices, allowing them to enjoy the thrill of live sporting events."
"The Southeastern Conference is pleased that CBS will be able to stream our games live on the internet this season," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. "We look forward to using this technology, giving our fans the ability to view CBS Sports' telecasts live on the internet."
A total of 17 SEC contests will be streamed live and free of charge on CBSSports.com concluding with the SEC Championship Game featuring the Eastern and Western Division champions on Saturday, Dec. 6 (4:00 PM, ET). The games are available exclusively on CBSSports.com and can also be accessed through a link on the websites of all CBS affiliates.
