The opening ceremonies were absolutely breathtaking, innovative and frankly..jaw dropping. It is always heartwarming to see the athletes and the happiness of just being there on their faces. I am more of a Winter Olympics person but I love the gymnastic, diving, and track events.

The world should just die. I could understand it if the world media politely ignored how fucked up China is for the sake of covering the Olympic Games, but as I type NBC's running a fluff piece on a Chinese-American who decided to move to China because of how great it is. I hope she doesn't plan on being a migrant worker or rice farmer.

Add: Is there a good internet feed of actual GAMES at the Olympics? I've had enough of this shit. Now Lester Holt is exercising with King Dipshit as if anyone's going to tape this routine and use it tri-weekly.

I hate watching sports with a passion, but how the fuck are we (usa) losing in the shooting competitions. Shit, just pick up a couple of guys from texas and maybe north dakota, and you should bring back 10 gold medals. WTF.

Shooting tin cans and minorities with sawed-off shotguns isn't equivalent to Olympic-level precision shooting.

As is usual, I will be happy every time Russia, China, or the USA loses. However, since it's in Beijing, China has bumped up from it's usual #3 on my list to #1. What I especially want to see(though I don't expect it) is for the Japanese to beat the Chinese at gymnastics. That would be perfect! Throw in Taiwan beating them at table tennis for good measure.

Exactly! The only way for me to watch these sports and judo is online, and even then I have to lie about who my cable provider is to do that!

I saw plenty of rowing this morning...?

I loved the opening ceremonies. And the cutest couple on the planet. Yao Ming and the little earthquake survivor.

Just saw Jason Leezak's amazing catch-up to Bernard (France) in the final leg of the 4x100m relay. Amazing. 0.08sec ahead!
