ESPN and the other networks (esp ABC) gleefully broadcast the results of all of the big events first thing in the morning. So unless you have turned off all media contacts all day, you already know the outcomes long in advance.

I was kinda looking forward to watching the USA hoops gold medal game.
My wife: "Why, we already know the score." I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that this conversation was repeated in many living rooms in the US, throughout the games.
