Maybe not the mass media. But there's this thing called the internet where anyone can share information.

It's not smog, it's just haze.






(I actually heard someone use that phrase in an attempt to defend LA's weather.)

Okay, now I'm pissed!

Check out the regulations regarding beach volleyball players:

whatWhatWHAAAAT!?!

So it's fine for the big-breasted Brazillian bombshells to wear bikini tops, but the ripped-abded beach studs have to cover up? LAME! :mad:

Hey! Way to tease and make me think there are actually some large breasted women in Olympic beach volleyball.

But here's the Brazil team:



I am, however, amused that their national abbreviation becomes a simple clothing label when put on their uniform.

Those are women?

The Chinese do have a sex check procedure for all participants, so perhaps not.

I have no idea what sports are included in the summer games. If it comes to my attention and seems interesting, I might watch some.

For the record, I hate the backstory crap. Just give me the sports. If you have to do backstory, please keep it short. I just don't care. I want to see the competition.

I like the volleyball girls.

Damn, scheduling what I want to see looks to be a pain in the arse.

For example, I would like to watch the fencing on Saturday. The NBC schedule shows it as part of "multi sport coverage" from 2:00am to 7:00am. So I need five hours of record time for just one sport. That is going to be a problem.... Can your Tivo do better than that? I'm guessing not since the fencing coverage will be mixed in with other sports during that time frame...

Alex 08-06-2008 06:53 PM

In looking at options I think I'm just going to rely on YouTube to give me what I want and play it by ear for network coverage.

Did they already do the opening ceremony? Did I miss it?
