导出博客文章NEW YORK -- In a story Aug. 13 about NBCs coverage of the Olympics, The
Associated Press, relying on information provided by a publicist, reported
erroneously that the online subscription content service Fullscreen made a
10-episode sports docuseries, Keeping Score, on the U.S. womens soccer team. The
series is only six episodes.A corrected version of the story is below:A
memorable daytime soccer game for NBCThe U.S. womens soccer teams unexpected
loss made for some memorable moments for NBCBy DAVID BAUDERAP Television
WriterNEW YORK -- The non-stop nature of soccer helped and hindered NBCs Arlo
White and Kate Markgraf in their coverage of the U.S. womens team, which lost to
Sweden on penalty kicks Friday and was bounced from the Olympics.The USA are
distraught, White said, describing the aftermath of Lisa Dahlkvists deciding
penalty.He expertly built the tension throughout the broadcast and reflected the
significance of the three-time defending Olympic champions and defending World
Cup winners heading home without a medal. White and Markgraf caught a bit of
soccer gamesmanship before the last penalty kick, when U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo
changed gloves to make Dahlkvist wait a little while and think about her
shot.There were two huge moments right before the penalty kicks when the
Americans and then the Swedes had goals disallowed on what appeared to be
questionable offside calls.Asked to take a stand on Lotta Schelins disallowed
goal for Sweden, Markgraf hedged. The refs call appeared wrong, she said, but I
do need to take another look at the play.She never got that chance. The soccer
clock keeps ticking. When the extra time period ended shortly thereafter, NBC
switched to a round of commercials and the controversial calls were not
re-examined. Contrast that to an American football game, when theres enough
downtime after a close call to see about a dozen replays.One other thing: The
soccer teams loss -- and Solos subsequent sour grapes remark that the Swedish
team was a bunch of cowards -- was the biggest Olympics story on Friday, at
least from an American perspective. It deserved more than a minutes recap on NBC
just before midnight.POLAROID MOMENT: Superb prep work by NBC was on display
shortly after Joseph Schooling of Singapore upset Michael Phelps in the
100-meter butterfly. The network flashed a picture of a 13-year-old Schooling
meeting Phelps, his hero, in 2008 -- amusing even a gracious Phelps. Phelps took
a backseat to the other American swimmers on Thursday. Katie Ledecky cruised in
the 800-meter freestyle, Maya Dirado stretched just far enough to win the
200-meter backstroke and, at the ripe old age of 35, Anthony Ervin won gold in
the 50-meter freestyle, repeating his victory from the 2000 Olympics. In the
intervening years, Ervin admitted to drifting. He was on my couch for awhile,
said NBC analyst Rowdy Gaines.WATER-LOGGED: Yes, it appears some NBC viewers
wont be sorry to see the Olympic pool shut down. NBC Olympic slogan: every four
years the worlds greatest athletes gather to witness a 7-day swim meet, tweeted
Allen Tyger, who describes himself as a college minister from Missouri.QUOTE:
Team USA played like it was a Thursday night in Milwaukee in February. Totally
uninspired. -NBC basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla, describing the teams tight
94-91 victory over Serbia.Milwaukee, are you listening?MAN-BUN IS BACK: It was
almost sadistic, NBC flashing yet another picture of Hungarian swimmer Katinka
Hosszus histrionic husband, this team after she won silver behind Dirado. Were
they trying to prove some kind of point after being criticized earlier in the
games for giving Shane Tusup too much credit for Hosszus victories? Another
question: Has he changed his shirt since arriving in Rio?BAD TIMING: The online
subscription content service Fullscreen launched in April and made one of its
big projects a six-episode sports docuseries, Keeping Score, showing the
backstage life of the U.S. womens soccer team, partially from the perspective of
Hope Solo. Oops. Only two episodes had been made available before the teams
quarterfinal loss, capped by Solos bad sportsmanship. Whos going to be
interested now? You watched the game and know the outcome, said Ashley Kaplan,
Fullscreens head of content production. But you have no idea what happened in
the hotel room afterwards.JONESIN: Saturday Night Lives Lisa Jones has made it
to Rio de Janeiro. She was spotted at the Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross
beach volleyball match.RATINGS: NBCs Thursday prime time, which featured
gold-medal performances from American gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Simone
Manuel and, of course, Phelps, reached 31.2 million, the Nielsen company said.
That was the second highest viewership of the Rio de Janeiro Games so far, and
ticked up to 33 million when online streaming and NBCSNs prime-time telecast are
added in. NBC still hasnt topped its record-setting London Games from 2012,
however, which had 36.8 million for the corresponding night.---Follow David

. Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with
a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the
allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents. Diego
Forlan is unlikely to join Brisbane with the A-League clubs managing director
Daniel Cobb all but ruling out a move for the Uruguayan star.Roar coach John
Aloisi is reportedly keen on signing the 37-year-old as the clubs guest marquee
player - the same rule that has allowed Melbourne City to snare Tim Cahill.FFA
has also indicated it will be willing to contribute to Forlans salary if
Brisbane is able to bring the former Manchester United and Inter Milan star to
the A-League.However, Cobb said the Roar probably were not in a position to work
to Forlans timelines, with the 112-cap international needing an answer quickly
as he also dealt with interest from the Indian Premier League.Cobb also claimed
it was unclear if the Roar had the financial capacity to meet Forlans demands -
but said it would be no problem if he was majority owner, which he was seeeking
to become.ddddddddddddForlan has a deadline, he wants answers and I dont think
we can work with him in timelines, Cobb told AAP.The reality is we have two
marquee players at the moment and, whether the club can afford to do another
player under the guest player system, were still reviewing that.If I owned the
club at the moment, Id be in a different position but, unfortunately, I havent
yet been approved as the owner so decisions around players is not
straightforward.Cobb had previously indicated the Roars budget included funds
for a guest marquee when they were chasing former Socceroo Brett Holman.Forlan
last played for Penarol, his childhood club in Montevideo, and scored eight
goals in 31 games in the 2015-16 season.
