Must See TV


So it's 5:30 in the morning, I just had a funny cigaro, and I'm hooked on the olympics like a good meth addiction. I watched the absolutely beautiful opening ceremonies last night (how fucking cool was it seeing Rhonaldinho walking with the Brazilians?) then woke up at 4 in the morning to this American girl having a complete meltdown on the badmitton court. Flipped over to the Universal HD channel (or CNBC) and caught a good hour of boxing, flipping over to the USA Network for the occasional equstrian stuff, and now I'm watching the US womens soccer team play. There's going to be 3,500 hours of coverage on like 7 networks and the internet! Then you throw in Phelps trying to break Mark Spitz's record of most medals in a single olympics, the "Redeem Team" being lead by The Black Mamba and King James, and what appears to be a decent American soccer squad and you've got just wall to wall excitement. So get your coffee ready and prepare to stay up late 'cause this is must see tv.

king james and black mamba both said they would leave the nba to play in europe if offered fifty million a year, which could happen

The opening ceremony's were just about the most amazing things I've ever seen in my entire fucking life. Yep, China is the future folks. Amazing show. I also caught some of the "Redeem Team" against China. They were tied, the USA got a big jump on them. Have they been winning their games?
