Thanks for the 411 on the swim team captain.  After some research, her name is Amanda Beard, I think.  I'll have to root against her, now.  Why is PETA so darn attractive to celebrities?  What about HUMAN RIGHT causes?    Sorry for the rant.

Back to the original post, I have to admit that I'm kind of hooked into this years olympics.  I haven't watched very closely in the past couple, but we have watched coverage each night for at least an hour or so.  I'm usually a little more into the winter olympics.  

Yes, Muddy, the media coverage really urks me.  I'm not real happy about how much they glamorize China.  I find myself so rooting against the Chinese, but I have to remind myself that the athletes aren't the government.  I have to feel sorry for them.  Many of them look like robots in their routines.  For instance, take the little girl weightlifter.  The coach would bark at her, she would bark something back, lift her weight and walk off the stage with a blank look on her face. Not until she won the gold medal did she show any emotion.  It makes you wonder if they truly WANT to be there.  The gymnists last night looked like deer in the headlights until they won the competition.  It's kind of sad when you think about it.
