here are my two cents on the olympics, probably the last time i'll comment on them:

1. did you know that in extra innings in olympic baseball, a team starts an inning with two runners on base, no outs, and they can start anywhere in the batting order. crazy! I just read that today after the americans lost to the cubans in 11 innings.

2. Swimming. I don't understand why they have diff'rent strokes. Why don't they just do the fastest all the time? In track, they run the style that is the fastest all the time. They never skip or high-knee or run backwards or anything. Tyson Gay could win 8 golds in one olympics if they had all different types of running too.

3. How solid is are the gold medals? It must be some kindve alloy?

Whats up with russia? arent they usualy one of the top 2 or 3 countries?

More then I hate the Olympics overshadowning baseball for 2 weeks is preseason nfl football overshadowing baseball in august.

WTF is NFL Live on before Baseball Tonight, and why is there 20 mintues of coverage on Aaron Rogers first preseason start on SportsCenter before I can get my baseball highlights?
