I agree...Monday was the first night/day I hadn't watched any events.
The Olympics have a quick burn-in factor for me. I really have enjoyed watching the Olympics more this year than any other time, even better than when they were in Atlanta in 96. Phelps kept me coming back and got me watching other events that I wouldn't normally watched, like the rowing or handball.
I have enjoyed the women's gymnastics (we have been getting the shaft btw), diving and the track events for the most part. I have been watching the basketball as well. With Dish Network, I receive the Universal HD channel that carries mens/womens bball non-stop with replays and such and get this, no commercials. It's pretty sweet. I have a non-stop olympic soccer channel as well, although I must admit, I can't stay wtih soccer at all, even though the field looks great on my Sony Bravia!
All-in-all, I've really enjoyed the Olympics this year.
