The Summer Olympics

I usually don't get excited about the Olympics, and this year is no different...I just remember 2 years ago during the winter Olympics how we got sucked into the biathlon. There's just something about watching people move around in slow languid circles...

It's probably a good thing that I've never watched Nascar...

Honestly, since they let the pros in (officially), I just couldn't care less about the Olympics. I think that the last time I actually watched them, on purpose, was 1976.

Since then, they've been overly politicized (we boycott the Russians, they revenge boycott us) and sunk to betting with the athletes (break Mark Spitz's record number of medals and Nike will give you a million bucks).

Feh!
