This is such crap.  They're still going to show Phelps' race tonight on a 3 hour delay in the Mountain and Pacific time zones.  NBC has been saying all along that this is when people are available to watch it.  If it wasn't delayed then these events would be taking place around 7-8pm on the west coast.  Not 4pm when people are getting out of work.  8pm is the perfect time, people are home with their families and even kids can watch because they don't have to be in bed.  Tonight is Saturday night.  If people want to watch then they should be able to watch live, its not in work week.  I live in San Francisco, have discussed this with several people and have yet to meet anybody who is in favor of this.  NBC really let down half the nation on this!
