Ok I guess it is time to write about something, so today's topic is the Olympics. I just watched the first American male get the individual GOLD in gymnastics and I got chills. Seriously, hairs stoodup on my arms. Now here is the shitty part. I knew that he won earlier today. It sooooo sux having the olympics get played out 10 hours earlier then it is being shown. The way technology and the news are today you can't help it. Unless you live in a bubble you hear about the golds, silvers, and bronzes. The outstanding achievements some and the devistating defeats by many others.
The Olympics are what sports are all you about. It's just you, by yourself or with teamates, against the world. It's just no the same though having to watch the whole Olympics tape delayed. Maybe I am a little selfish, but the way Greece is losing money why not have the summer Olympics in the western hemisphere. We are the largest tv market in the world. We love sports and prove it the way people keep paying for tickets to games, even though every year they complain about the price hickes. COme on I heard yesterday that there were 3,000 people at a soccer game. 3,000 you have to be kidding me. That is pathetic. Guaranteed if that game was here there would at least be 10,000 fans there.
Where to begin with men's basketball. Who can we go to next? I mean shit we brought in the pros when the college kids got beat, but now the pros suck. If I wanted to see a game of ghetto basketball I would go to the ghetto. Basketball is all about "ME" and screw the team. Gone of the days of, heaven forbid, passing the ball or making an outside shot. To get beat by Puerto Rico by 19 is horrible. Show a little hear t and learn to play as a team. Unfortunately, that doesn't get them sponsors. These Euopean team have skills and play great as a team. Not the US. We have great players, but no team.
Well enough of the Olympics for now. A big Go USA. Good luck to the athletes. Bring home the medals.

How bad is it when our team loses to one of our Republics?
I know what you mean about the advance knowledge - I was at work when I accidentally read about Hamm's victory, so what was a big-nail biters to those who didn't know was for me a chance to laugh at the announcers as they gasped and mourned the "disastrous" fall that "ruined" Hamm's golden dreams. The same thing happened today, too, I already know who won Women's all-around in gymnastics. Oh well - when do the games return to the US? Or at least our relative time zone...
