Over swimming, this Phelps thing has me tuned in. Glad to see us shove on the French after the comments they made before the relay.

As did I.
Honest to God, the Olympics have to be the best sporting event. It blows everything else away, lord willing I want to attend one someday. You join together as a country and root for your nation. I'd love to see us win the overall medal count. But after watching some of the gymnastics (and I'm no expert, not even a novice) it seems to me were getting screwed by some of these judges.

Ive been watching all weekend. From fencing to shooting.
Did anyone watch the soccer match with the Dutch this morning? The US looked good but blew a win into a draw.

I saw the highlights, we just need a tie to advance correct?

I was thinking the same thing watching sync diving, not just the US but everyone in favor of the chinks.

Same here. If it were the two US divers diving, you knew before hand the Russian judge, the Czech judge, and who ever the other one listed on the left side of the screen was, wasn't going to give those gals anything over a 7.5. Those three would be 7.0, 7.0, and 7.5 then the other 4-5 scores would be 8.0, 8.5, 8.5, 9.0. How do you get that much of a difference?
I've watched fencing, swimming, diving, rowing, cycling, basketball, mens and womens volleyball indoor and outdoor. The topper was that 4x100 relay last night though. There isn't much that makes me miss The Venture Bros. but I couldn't turn it last night. It looked like those French Frog Bastards were sucking lemons on the medal stage. I loved it.

I caught myself clinching my fist as Katie Hoff was making an awesome run in the 400m swim only to come in second at the very last moment.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
