A well. Yeah I heard alot of people are trying to boycott the Beijing Olympics because China keeps breaking international arms dealing laws and supplying bad people with tanks and fighters to run their own private genocide in return for Oil (same old story).

That comment was as gay as your Avatar.

China... The world should say that aren't going to the Olympics. China has to take care of their own people instead of spending "billions?" on hosting the Olympics.

It seems like everything I buy anymore has "made in china" on it. So I feel like I helped pay for that opening ceremony last night. I will say it was pretty amazing to see and look forward to the rest of the games. They say there will be 3000 hours of coverage the next 2 weeks. It's going to be hard deciding what to watch.

Michael Phelps just broke his own world record in the 400. 
That's 1 gold medal down, 7 to go?

I really hope he gets all 8. I'm just worried about the 3 relay events, he'll have to have help from his teamates for those.

WOW - did anyone see the men's 4X100 relay?  We were beating France, then on the 3rd and 4th leg they took a nice lead against us, and somehow the last guy came back and won it for us, DESTROYING the world record.  It was amazing.

Here are some comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back, and pray they don't make them this year...
 
1.  Weight lifting commentator:  This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria.  I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.
 
2.  Dressage commentator:  This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.
 
3.  Paul Hamm, Gymnast:  "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.
 
4.  Boxing Analyst:  "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."
 
5.  Softball announcer:  "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
 
6.  Basketball analyst:  He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it.  In fact you can see it all over their faces."
 
7.  At the rowing medal ceremony:  "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
 
8.  Soccer commentator:  "Julian Dicks is everywhere.  It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.
 
9. Tennis commentator:  "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them....
Oh my God, what have I just said?""

Not a sport yet but I'd give them a strong 7 for their performance, and then I'd judge them.
