Default Congratulations to BC!!

Congratulations to Vancouver, Whistler/Blackcomb, and whatever other
points in the area are going to host the 2010 Olympics.

Now us Murricans have seven years to convince NBC to either learn to
cover ski racing effectively or to sub the job out to somebody who
does. (Of course, seven years down the road, we ought to be able to
get a high-definition streaming feed from CBC or whoever else has the
best coverage.)

Nice hope but it won't happen. All the touchy feely and up close
and personal stuff is so women will watch. Or at least that's what they
tell themselves and us. Despite it being a load of crap. Oh, and
congrats to Vancouver and BC!!! ;-)


It wasn't women who were all agog at seeing whatshername's
partially-unzipped jersey when she won the women's MTB event!

I missed that - got a picture reference?
(I was disappointed when Brandi pulled off her shirt to reveal - another
"shirt" [not a bra, because there was nothing there to support.])


I've always thought the Olympics should be contested nude, just like the
original. Then records, etc, would mean something, and not just that the
shoes are better. Also no equipment. If it features equipment, get rid
of it. And no teams. If it features teams, get rid of it.

So in the Winter Olympics, downhill competition would favor someone with
a wide, rounded, smooth behind, with plenty of fat for insulation. And
cross country someone with large feet. And jumping someone with no brains.

(Same for rock climbing - no shoes - make comparisons legitimate.)

If that were true, you'd be too embarrassed to admit it.


I'm never too embarrassed to admit I looked or goggled when skin is
shown. Like last year's Oscars and Halle Berry's transparent top. Very
nice. But I still have no idea what your *very* specific reference is
for. ;-) MTB??? WTF?

On the off-chance you're serious... The first (maybe only, I don't
keep up) year they had mountainbiking as an Olympic sport, the
women's event was won by an attractive blonde who had unzipped her
jersey during the race. The TV coverage was, of course, abysmal, but
there was a nice shot of the finish, with the camera centered on the
girl's chest. I think she was wearing a sports bra under the jersey.
At the time I was reading the MTB newsgroup, and her chest was the
subject of considerable discussion.


Okay, now I understand. I guess I missed that part of the Olympics
coverage. I just had no idea WTF MTB was or what you were referring to.

So women aren't always interested in the touchy-feely crap about the
contestants and their heroic/tragic stories and guys aren't always
interested in technical proficiency.


I know that, but the network admits that the touchy feely is to get
the women to watch. I think if they actually spent more time showing
the athletic endeavors of the competitors more people, men and women,
would watch.

As it is I was able to watch *all* of the SLC games coverage by
using multiple VCRs and *lots* of fast forwarding through the crap. And
NBC will continue to have the Olympics to cover through 2010. Aren't we
just ****ing lucky. :-(

I think it lasted half an hour at the most.

My mom loves the Dodgers, and she knows tons about the individual players,
including whose teams they play for now. Since almost all the Dodgers are
new, her allegiance is being partially transferred to the Angels. Anyway,
she loves sports even though she's never done any, and knowing about the
players is part of it. I like doing stuff and don't really care to watch
most of it and don't care about the personal crap about the players. One
for one :-(

Indeed. Every once in a while I would watch something, but the endless
replays of perky Kerrie Strug just about finished that for me.

Actually, the murder rate is way down in Detroit - in fact there was a
news story this morning about how it's on track for the lowest murder
total in over 30 years.

Which just proves that the conservationists are right about what happens
when you over-hunt a population (c:

I bet they never considered a population overhunting themselves though.

I assume you are talking about Paulo Pezzo. I've got a nice bike
calendar of her dressed as little red riding hood... with high heels
and stockings.

http://members.aol.com/worthcycle/paulo1.jpg

On a scale of two I'd probably give her one.

PP was banned for using Steriods. She used to be cuter when she was
younger and less drug addled.
