Viewership for the Paris Summer Olympics continues to add up well for NBC. Monday’s “primetime” coverage of the Paris Summer Olympics averaged 31.3 million viewers across the full suite of NBC networks (per Nielsen fast-nationals and Adobe Analytics), a figure that encompasses live afternoon coverage from 2-5 PM ET and a primetime encore — up 70% from the equivalent day of the COVID-delayed Tokyo Olympics three years ago (18.4M). With a streaming audience of 4.5 million, the Nielsen-only audience would be in the neighborhood of 26.8 million.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Scott Hanson is best known for bringing fans seven hours of commercial-free football every Sunday on “NFL RedZone.” But now, he is trying his hand at something new. Hanson has been tabbed by NBC to host “Gold Zone,” an Olympics version of the iconic football show that streams on Peacock. Most fans would agree that the 2024 Paris Olympics are only improved by having Hanson’s iconic voice comment on them, but perhaps Hanson is getting a little too invested in his new role.
