Even after a week of Olympic coverage, NBC continues to find new ways of earning its #NBCFail hashtag. With the tape delay being the source of so many problems, the advantage would seem to be knowing when to cut away from the action.

Did #NBC seriously just cut away from a swimming final in the middle of the event? Who does that? #NBCFail

Holy shit did NBC seriously just cut to commercial in the middle of the tape delayed 800m free? #ugh #nbcfail

Wait. Did @NBC just go to commercial mid-race? Really? It's an 8 minute race, and we can't see all of it? #NBCFail

Why did NBC just cut to a commercial break seconds before the end of a swimming race that the USA was about to break the world record in…?

Did NBC just cut away from a race because the winner was obvious? An American shatters a world record and we don’t even see the whole race?

In fact, so many people were asking the same question that “Did NBC” became a trending topic. Did they? Yes, yes they did.
