So who is watching and what do you think?

by **Drew** on August 9th, 2008, 9:41 pm

Definitely going to watch some of it. Phelps pursuit of gold medal record, the sprints, and tennis to name a few. Should be good!

That opening ceremony was cool for a while, but damn did it get boring. May and Walsh kicked some ass during beach volleyball. The piece they did on Micheal Phelps was touching, and it was awesome to see him win gold. I caught some of the gymnastics, but what I'm really waiting for is the basketball tomorrow morning.

I felt bad for the Japanese team--they were so short. (Of course they were my height, but they LOOKED short).

It was funny that they admitted to feeling unlucky after being matched up against the US in the first round two Olympics in a row.

Had to feel bad for them about that too.

Our women's water polo team if favored for gold too.

Am I the only one who finds the Olympics terribly boring and can't understand people who spend hours watching it?

Nope. I'm right there with ya Matt!

It's weird. I hate most sports, but I can spend an hour watching rowing if its at the Olympics.

Had I been a biker I would have set a new world record just to get out of the rain.

Dude, just no.

I suppose you didn't catch the men's 4x100 swimming relay?

by **Stormy** on August 11th, 2008, 6:04 pm

That was the coolest thing EVER!!!

That was AMAZING! Especially after that Frenchie started yapping off about how France would smoke us.

The Dj Booth for the Beach Volleyball event seems to have been hijacked by the 80's.

I'm Australian, so, it's all about the swimming.

As for the beach volleyball music, c'mon! I'm trying to work out if it's shameful or awesome that they were playing Men at Work in between points when the Australian women were playing. That and the combination of Jennifer Lopez's Let's Get Loud made for scary periods in between points and sets.

I would have pegged you for a women's beach volleyball fan

I'm a writer--hell yeah.

That and the tiny place in the back of my head where its always 1997.

The gymnastic men are doing incredible, especially considering that two of them are alternates.
