Olympic Observations (Part 1)
Before I forget, here are some quick observations from watching NBC’s Olympic Coverage:
1. Why hasn’t the Lochtenator busted out his grillz? I hope they didn’t confiscate them! The world needs to see his grillz because “the whole top diamonds and da bottom row’s gold”.
2. Isn’t it refreshing to see the medals ceremony girls not looking like hoochies? That was one of my beefs from Trials.
3. It’s kind of stupid that NBC is tape-delaying coverage of the West Coast. Heard that the Al Jazeera feed has come to the rescue for some. May want to check it out!
4. Watching the Olympics, I’m doing a whole lot of thinking about who the next generation of “Swim Stars” are gonna be since I’m going to lose quite a few to retirement.
5. Speaking of Swim Stars, the sites are back online and functioning. It was a very stressful stretch when I couldn’t access any of them nor their control panels, but it all seems to be worked out. *knock on wood*
6. I love me some gymnastics, don’t get me wrong. Attempts at watching gymnastics back in Athens is what drew me into swimming. However, I’m not thrilled that we don’t get to see a lot of the semifinal races because of the gymnastics coverage.
7. Is it bad that I could still pick out Bob’s whistle while watching races?
8. My heart broke for The Hoff tonight.
9. I’m not going to lie. There were “man tears” for me when PVK won the bronze in the 200 Free. That’s my dawg. So proud of him.
10. GREEEEEVERRRRRSSSS
ETA: 11. Our Trials need to be in March, not early July. Period.

Hey guys – speaking of the taped delay here’s a bit of a tongue in cheek look at the delay and Phelps’ domination. It is quite tongue and cheek so be warned

We love tongue in cheek things! Most of the stuff we post here falls into that category LOL
I hate the tape delays too! I really don’t want to live in MST anymore. :’(
Yeah, and I agree with every point in your list. GREVERS! Haha
If you haven’t already heard, sorry to disappoint but the Lochtenator lost his grills at a club! At least he was keepin’ it gangster by going out in style with his bling but you have to keep a lock on those things! (no pun intended). Maybe he’ll get a matching pair to his future white or purple Lambo.
