As usual, it was sap-o-clock on NBC last night. There were challenging dives at the aquatic center and bitter memories from Beijing to be erased on the track. Bikers, divers, beach volleyball players, hurdlers, sprinters, and gymnasts showed spirit and determination in pursuit of their golden moment. But what really got the schmaltz leaking was a series of features built around tales of heartbreak and redemption. American hurdler Lashinda Demus, who battled depression after the birth of her twin sons, was shown advising viewers: ?If your dream is to have a family, have a family. If your dream is to have a career, have a career. It?s no way that you shouldn?t be able to do both.? (Take that, Anne Marie Slaughter). Demus? inspirational message, and others like it, brought the Sap-o-Meter?s final total to 46 Sap Points.
