I really don't care much about any Olympic sport other than Men's b-ball. When it's on TV or when the girlfriend is watching it or whatever, I'll root for the U.S., but I would be just fine if the U.S.'s only medal of the entire games was the gold in Men's hoops.

8 medals for China in table tennis. Swept gold in team play and swept all medals in men's and women's singles.
I need to find a new favorite niche sport.

Well that was fun. I like me some Olympics.
Too bad it's over now....we have a pretty bland sports week coming up. When does college football start?

Weird, the image tags work in preview but not for the actual post.

Casey Smith (the Mavs' trainer) took that picture in Beijing. Pretty cool.

that poster is flippin awesome. It has all the cool attributes, the long hair and the bad-ass Germany jersey (opposed to the white one). If they sold that, I would buy it too!
This was the first go round of the Olympics I really watched pretty heavily. It really didn't disappoint. It really helped keep my Sports hype up...now football can get going and then Basketball.

Man...I've really been out of sorts this week with TV, reg. season football needs to start!
Nothing fills the void with dramatic storylines, sports and patriotism right now.
