I’m sorry this post is a bit early but thanks to the start of the college school year, I’ll be rather busy this Thursday. So without further ado, here are some potential sports-watching highlights for the final full weekend of August.

Weekend Watch: August 17-August 19, 2012

We’ve got a great weekend coming up, sportswise. Pennant race action in baseball, preseason NFL football, MLS action and best of all, the Barclays Premier League starts this weekend. As usual, here are some of the highlights.

The final weekend of the Olympics is here and with it comes a turning point in the sports TV schedule. Certainly the final few days of the 2012 Summer Games in London will provide a good amount of excitement this weekend. NBC and its affiliated networks will broadcast finals in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s soccer, men’s and women’s wrestling, men’s boxing, men’s and women’s track and field and various other events. There’s also the Closing Ceremonies at weekend’s end, which hopefully will be shown in its entirety.

Even more than last week’s Weekend Watch, the upcoming sports watching weekend will be dominated by the Olympics. Swimming and gymnastics are winding down, track and field is about to get underway and sports like soccer, boxing, tennis, water polo, volleyball, beach volleyball and basketball are moving out of the group stages and into the elimination rounds. There’s still some other good sports watching to be found this weekend outside London and the other Olympic venues though. Here are a couple highlights.
