Anyone else just really not care about the Olympics?
They've never really appealed to me.

3. I like Gymnastics
And swimming, but not enough to go looking for it. I'll randomly switch over to see what's on, but I don't really care. :shrug:

4. Me. Moi. Yo.
I was prepared to give up all MSRNC-NBC-CNBC for the duration, but now they have invaded GD. Actually, the new policy of allowing threads on the Olympics in both GD and Lounge has resulted in there being MORE Olympics threads in GD. Wish we could turn GD-P into a "Special Events" forum---for Primaries when there are primaries, Election for that, or HUGH!1 breaking topics, like right now when the EWARDS deal and the Olympics are going on, especially since it's political vacation time with OBAMA on vacation and MSRNC closing down Joe SCABROW for the Olympics.

8. I'd like it if they told more of those inspirational life-stories about the competitors
And more commercials for sports drinks. Then the Olympic$ would totally rock!

14. I really want to get into the Olympics,
but the only thing on is Beach Volleyball. But it is Saturday night, and the games are so commercial now, pretty athletes in bathing suits fits the bill, I guess.
