I feel like the commentary during NBC's Olympics coverage somehow manages to make me know less about the sports being covered, so I'm balancing that loss of knowledge with Neil deGrasse Tyson's series of tweets about what the Olympics on Mars would be like. I have no idea why he's pursuing this line of thinking, but it makes for interesting conversation fodder.
