Olympics

A few notes about the Olympics:

1. I love the Olympics.
2. I've long thought NBC coverage of the Olympics was crappy. Drama over sport and only showing events dominated by Americans or attractive, white non-Americans.
3. nbcolympics.com is actually pretty good. You can watch a broad cross section of events, many with no commentary or only technical commentary. (No "Ra-Ra Go USA!" or "Jim-Bob came back from adversity to be here today.")
   
4. nbcolympics.com commercial selection sucks. I've seen the trailer for Tropic Thunder literally at least 50 times in the past week. It was uninteresting the first time around. I vow to die never having seen that movie.
5. Women's High Jump has replaced women's Beach Volleyball as my my favorite Olympic event of all time. Sorry, Misty!
