If it's an event I know we have a chance of winning, I'll root for the U.S.
If it's an event I know the U.S. has no chance in, I will simply root for a highly competitive finish.
If it's an event I know nothing about, I will root for the U.S. until it's clear that the U.S. has no chance. Then, I will root for the highly competitive finish.
I will never pick a favorite based on an NBC back story.

What's your point?

Dear Mom,

You are 4 hours ahead. I don't want to talk about today's events!!!!!!

NBC just did a day in the life bit on Michael Phelps. The boy eats 10,000 calories a day and still can't crack 200 lbs. :eek:

Pure muscle. :drool:

Lani and I have agreed that Phelps is fine from the shoulders down (thought so out of physical proportion on the lengths it is kind of weird) but he's kind of hard to look at from the neck up.

First of all, men's synchronized diving is on. Great bodies, tiny swim suits.

Secondly, commentary that goes like this:

Question from our viewers; why do the men go to the showers immediately after their dive?

Female sportscster: The water is cold so they go there to warm up, stay loose and have FUN!

LOL!!!


Also, great Honda commercial
Car Salesman: "looking for a car with better gas milage?"
Shot of customer looking at Suburban
Customer: "Ahh, I haven't done as much river fording as I thought."

I root for whoever seems most likely to have a dramatic (possibly tragic) physical/emotional breakdown during competition.

When the 1984 Olympics were in L.A., I got to go to a few events, including Men's Soccer at the Rose Bowl - I rooted for Egypt to beat Italy, but alas, despite a brutal player (who ended up with bandages on his head after some wonderful interactions with opponents), Italy won :(

FWIW, the women did it too
