NBC has spent a lot of money for exclusive coverage of the Olympic Summer games in London, yet for some reason have elected to air the majority of the events on tape delay, which was the case last night when they lured viewers in during ‘prime-time’ so that they could root on 17-year-old Missy Franklin (pictured) during her (tape delayed) quest for gold in the 100m Backstroke.
