    I can't stand team bicycle racing where they pick the guy who will get the medal shot before the race and all the other teammates are cannon fodder - screw that. Pick the golden boys and have just them race, no teams, no bullshit. Yes I know all you bicycle racers will disagree but you suck. :D

    Anything that is judged is NOT a sport. Anything that is more enjoyable while drunk off your ass is NOT a sport (ping pong and badminton as two examples from the summer games).

    Other than that the little I've watched has been cool. Saw some serious crash and burns last night out at dinner in mens gymnastics that were cool for a non sport.

    BTW - just because someone is athletic does not make what they are doing a sport.

    so in your opinion, a person that has sponsors, wears a jersey, gets a salary, and is the World Champion Thumb Wrestler is not an athlete :confused: :tut:

    almost forgot this :Poke:

    Because they get good ratings from it and, as a result of the good ratings, are able to make a lot of money selling advertising spots

    Don't confuse athletes with what they're doing being a sport or not. Thumb wrestling takes physical skill and dexterity and has a clear winner or loser. It is a sport.

    Boxing when decided by TKO or scored on points is not a sport. All matches should go on til one boxer gets knocked the f out or gives up. Then it's a sport. :D

    These are not opinions, they are merely statements of fact.

    The beeb olympics would be just a contest not an actual sport.

    I was digging the indoor volleyball, where after each play they would huddle up and smack each others asses. Then they switched over to mens volleyball and they were doing the same..

    I know Vino has had kind of a shady past, but it was really cool to see him win the road race...talk about going out with a bang.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Go to http://www.nbcolympics.com/ and if your cable provider is listed you can watch EVERY event LIVE. They really did it right. It actually works.
