Olympic Medal Count or GO Canada GO!

[--Pete]

Hi,

Well said. You've pretty much captured my feelings on this, too.

I still say the biggest issue with the Olympics is that it's so hard to actually watch the Olympics. You have to find streaming video to see any actual sport. I did some timing of NBC tonight. They showed 10 minutes of actual competition in a 45 minute span. The other 35 was people talking and comercials. There were 8 different sports with events happening during that time. So what people see of the Olympics is next to nothing.

I've set TiVo to record both the US and Canadian channels that are broadcasting the Olympics. Then I view them at max speed, dropping to normal when something I want to see is on. I've been 'watching' about 9 hours of broadcast per hour. Bah!

Of course I wonder what people 80 years ago would think about some of the nutritional supplements and such that is legal these days.

Yep. And what the people of 80 years from now will calmly accept that is considered cheating now.

Wow I knew I was gonna ramble but I really went off didn't I? Kudos to you if you read this whole thing. :)

Hey, you kept it interesting;)
