I’m pleased with the Olympics this year because even though the commentary is just as bad as it was in the political arena, it’s much more palletable. The athletes are doing great over all as well. Abby or course adds a whole new flavor to the Olympics because each event is summed up to one action. Tonight during the men’s high bar event it was, “Swing, swing.” The swimmers are told to, “swim, swim.” And of course the Women’s Beach Volleyball athletes are told to “Put some clothes on!” – but that’s me saying that 🙂
Of course NBC is doing everything they can to make it hard to know when certain events are being aired. Witness the schedule.

helps so much.
<rant>Who can I write a letter to get the Olympics OFF of NBC. Great-Googly-Moogly!! You’d think after ruining our Olympic experience four or five times, they’d get it figured out. Bob Costas is a cordial enough fellow, but can we see about putting Katy Couric on assignment in deepest, darkest Congo or something? And who ever is piecing together the schedule; make him her camera man. I’d love to hear her witless banter and mind numbing trivia while rocket propelled grenades were whizzing over head.</rant>
