Then you should write the network, because they produce that sh*t for you broads.

I'm a bit of an Olympics curmudgeon. If the opening ceremonies were limited to the parade of athletes and the release of doves, I'd be a happy man. I suppose this year it will be interesting to see if the doves fall back to earth gasping.

I would also favor the elimination of all Olympic summer Olympic sports that are not tests of pure athleticism (running, walking, jumping, throwing, gymnastics, swimming, women's beach volleyball) or somehow related to killing people (boxing, wrestling, shooting, fencing, archery, women's beach volleyball).

While I basically enjoy it, I have a hard time caring when, as with the Sydney Olympics, we in America knew who won everything about a week before the events were aired.
