Olympic commentary........

So they are getting rid of the softball and baseball events because the USA is too unbeatable while keeping "why not just call it a cool vacation in the off season" basketball as well as the ever so thrilling to watch trampoline and speed walking events.

Can anyone explain why Olympic boxing has been going on since the first day? And who really watches ping pong? Oh....excuse me....."Table Tennis". ( crickets chirping ) Personally, I'd much rather see an obstacle course event from the tv show Wipeout than something like a badminton match.

Interesting though, trying to sing along to the three verse intro/cut short National Anthem while Michael Phelps basked in his first gold was a pretty good "sport" to watch. I'm guessing some heads rolled after that degree of difficulty.

"Oh say can you see by the dawns early light. What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming." (Oh....wait......ok.....now) "Oh say can you see by the dawns early light." ( no? what the heck? Ok so they started over.......wait for it.......wait for it......ok....NOW! ) "Oh say can you see........" ( Oh for heaven's sake. nevermind!)

And I won't even mention the problem I have with the "still plays with Barbies" Chinese gymnastic team. That would be too easy.

The second week of the summer Olympics are a snoozefest which does nothing but aggravate me that I have no other choice but to watch reruns of Dr. Phil or Greatest American Dog while further delaying my season premieres of Prison Break and Chuck.


I'm just saying....................
