8/8/08

The Olympics start tonight.

If you want a guide of what to look for follow these notes.

1) Prime Time NBC coverage will include women gymnastics, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, swimming, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, diving, women gymnastics, women gymnastics, women gymnastics exhibition.

2) There will be at least 35 athletes kicked out for doping.

3) There will be at least five references to human rights issues or pollution every night.

4) The US will continue its fine streak in the Track and Field distance races with no medals.

5) Every gold medal winner will be draped in a flag. You know, that was kind of cool when Bruce Jenner did it in 1976; not so cool now.

6) You won't see any profiles of athletes who grew up in a great family, trained hard, and won gold. Makes for bad TV.

Don't waste your time, just watch NFL pre season games.
