It’s just a little over 2 months before the 08 Olympics kick off and the stupid Visa commercial (you know, the one with the Morgan Freeman voice over) already made me cry. That’s right, I cry at soppy commercials.
But back to my point, which is, how awesome is the Olympics? With the exception of 90% of the track events and most of the field stuff (and boxing, and synchronized anything) I would watch every single sport that’s going to be contested.
Why? Because you don’t get to see stuff like that for three years! It’s like waiting every four years to enjoy curling. That’s why.
What I’m most looking forward to this August: hockey, rowing, volleyball, table tennis, BADMINTON and handball – the latter its name is not the only thing I love about the sport. And I can never explain why I watch weightlifting– and it’s not because the damn event is called the clean and jerk you bunch of gutter brained goofballs!
If there’s a professional sport called sports watching, I’d be really good at it. Need to work some on my cricket knowledge but otherwise…
