Olympics - good & bad

Bad:

- announcers for the gymnastics - Tim Daggett or whatever his name is may be the worst sports commentary guy on TV - and think about some of his rivals (Chris Collingsworth anyone)...

- Announcers limited vocabulary - especially pertaining to Phelps. It's like a contest to see how many people can use "amazing", "ridiculous", "he's a machine"; in one 45 second performance. I hope when he gets tapes of these events the audio is turned off. UGH...

- staying up til 1 am every night.. How did I become hooked on the Olympics - seriously - its mostly swimming and gymnastics - but I do question this bandwagon. Must. Get. Off. Now.

- Commercials - overall they are uninspired and have bad music. Where are all the really good commercials for the Olympics? (on a side note - how many endorsement deals will Phelps have and what's the over/under on when he appears on a Wheaties box...)

Good:
- Phelps - really, I hate to route for the clear favorite - but there is just something about him...

- Okay - I admit it - Wingspan 6'7'; Feet size 14' how hung do you think this guy is?

- Bad sportsmanship that is not U.S. - I mean with all the doping scandals of past and everything else - its nice to see some other country receive the unsportsmanlike story of the summer Olympics. Never fear though track and field is not over - time for a doping scandal yet!


Enough for now. Oh - quick music update - The Duke and the Duchess new LP = very very very good
