NEW YORK -- NBCs coverage of the Rio Olympics on Sunday included controversy over a commentator comment and some harrowing video of the treacherous cycling road race. A look at the Rio Olympics through a media lens:SECOND THOUGHTS: With live TV, NBC swimming commentator Dan Hicks said Sunday, there are often times you look back and wish you had said things differently. He spoke less than 24 hours after being criticized for calling the coach and husband of Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu the guy responsible for a career turnaround that led to her gold medal swim on Saturday. Hicks said it was impossible to tell Hosszus story without citing the work of coach Shane Tusup. Online critics said it was sexist to give so much praise to a male coach for a female athletes performance.ROUGH RIDE: The heart-stopping womens cycling race, won at the last moment by Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen, was expertly called Sunday afternoon by NBCs team of Paul Sherwen and Christian Vande Velde. While they sometimes get lost in the weeds of their sports technicalities, the two men skillfully anticipated key moments. Vande Velde noted ahead of time that American rider Mara Abbott, who had a large lead but was caught at the end, was better on the mountains than the level course where the race concluded. Earlier, he predicted a high probability of broken bones during a rain-slicked mountain descent on a course where several men had crashed a day earlier. Moments later, cameras caught the frightening wipeout of Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten, the races leader at the time.RATINGS: NBC averaged 20.7 million viewers Saturday for its first night of Olympics prime-time competition. Like with Fridays opening ceremony, it was a smaller audience than for the London games in 2012 (which had 27.3 million viewers for the corresponding night). NBC said part of the reason the prime-time numbers are down is because viewers are streaming Olympics coverage on portable devices. Also, the Nielsen company said 2.2 million viewers watched prime-time Olympics programming on the NBCSN and Bravo cable networks Saturday.Dan Otero Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Brook Jacoby Jersey . Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night. https://www.cheapindiansonline.com/3398u-joe-charboneau-jersey-indians.html . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Ray Fosse Jersey . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. Eric Haase Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames.Play the matchups.Its advice any veteran fantasy owner has heard for years, and its as true today as it has been at any time in the games history. Matchups help make the difficult decisions between similarly valued players, and careful analysis of the best (and worst) ones often make the difference between a weekly win or loss.dddddddddddd ' ' '
