Chinese Leftovers: The Best Scraps From Beijing
Monday, August 25th, 2008You've already seen our favorite memories from Olympiads past. Or if you haven't, you're going to now. And if you still don't, I have some friends in the Chinese government that will try to arrange things so you are more properly educated. This year's Olympics also provided us with a cornucopia ...
God Loves Bows and Arrows
Thursday, August 21st, 2008This is just a quick story link. We ran across this bad boy yesterday on the New York Times Web site. Apparently, accepting God into your life has everything to do with being an Olympic archer. Yeahhh. Not so keen on that one. And did it work? Of course not. The U.S. ...
Turns Out the Internationals Haven’t Caught Up…To the Women
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Remember the good 'ol days, when USA basketball went ahead and blew everybody out, leaving little doubt as to which country had the best basketball team in the world? Eh, neither do we. In fact, many of us were prepubescent or close to it when the original Dream Team trounced people ...
Michael Phelps Still Has Some Work To Do
Monday, August 18th, 2008Yeah yeah, we all love Michael Phelps, his run to eight gold medals was magical, blah, blah, blah. Everyone seems to just love the guy to no end. In fact, an ex of mine told me she'd give a year's salary just for the chance to eat ice cream off ...
The Inquisition, What A Show…
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Horry Cow! The Spanish are racists? Who knew? Um, pretty much everyone on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish athletics have, pardon the word usage, a pretty large black-eye when it comes to tolerance. And that tradition continues. Prior to leaving for Beijing the Spanish men's basketball team posed in an ad ...
Michael Phelps Makes Me Feel Terrible
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Yep, just terrible. I'm not going to get into the specifics or anything, but he's giving me a complex. So far the only thing I've really accomplished in life is being college educated. Yep, got the 'ol diploma from a fine public institution. Michael Phelps, on the other hand, is just about ...
Around the Olympics: What You Missed Since You Don’t Care
Monday, August 11th, 2008In case you were under a rock for the entire weekend or can't remember much of it because you spent it all sleeping after an exhausting work week (riiight), the Olympics up and started, beginning with a heinously long opening ceremony Saturday. Aside: Part of the reason it's hard for me ...
Let The Games Begin
Friday, August 8th, 2008So, after another four-year wait, it's finally time for the Olympics. And I know all you modern pentathlon fans out there are super-stoked. But before any of the events could begin, we had to make time for the Opening Ceremonies. And though I am in no way, shape or form homosexual ...
Phelps Shies Away From Press, Publicity
Monday, August 4th, 2008Michael Phelps showed up in China today and basically sneaked into the country unnoticed. He avoided hundreds of fans, reporters and cameras Monday as he took a side door out of the airport to a waiting bus while his teammates walked through the arrival gate in Beijing. Then he went ...
