1. Olympics? What olympics?
The last time, the coverage was so rah-rah and boring, that I swore the whole thing off.
It was like a huge USA ad, with little real sport being aired.

3. USA! USA! USA!
Sure he will but not a big one and not for long. Too bad there's no Eastern Block and teams from islamic countries are a joke (especially in the winter olympics)

4. Isn't Babs there "representing" the US?
She will no doubt say something incredibly stupid and we will lose any nation that still had a shred of respect for us.

6. I say NO because
Seriously how many Americans really care about the Olympics any more?? There's no rallying around the athletes like there was in the past.

I love the Olympics but not because of country pride, I just love sports.


Just my opinion.
