Kicking the lull away
Sunday at the Olympics isn't a day of rest, but it may be a day filled with comparatively little excitement. Sandwiched in between two days featuring two highly anticipated events -- the 100-meter final on Saturday and 400 meters on Monday -- Sunday's schedule lacks guaranteed prime-time punch. Quality women's soccer semifinal matchups could save the day, while Michael Johnson should, barring injury, cruise through the 400 semifinals. NBC's 12 1/2 hours of NBC coverage should ensure you'll catch all the tape-delayed action.
