    To put it in perspective Bruce Jenner was an American hero in 1976, guy was bigger than Lebron and Michael Jordon rolled into one. Now look at him.

    The Olympics are essentially sports for people that don't like sports.

    True sports fans don't watch this shit.

    Why do I care if we get more gold medals than Belgium? Who gives a rats ass?

    Olympics are simply watching the wierdo shit sports that are more of clubs here than anything else. It is fantastic. I know baseball, and it is fukkin' boring. At least this shit is fun to get a little bit heady and wonder what the hell is going on - trying to figure out who you will bet once you figure out the goddamn schedule.

    Good fun, on all the time, Twice, because it is replayed at prime time. Great for us night folk.

    I like the Olympics and I think theres a lot of good money to be made betting them so far I bet China over 36.5 gold i think thats huge 51 gold last time and in 2004 they had 32 but have really improved since then.
    Yesterday I bet Dana Vollmer if you watched the semi's she pummeled the field she won the event but a little closer than I though she was +125 I made a thread saying bet her though.

    I think that China bet is a good one. They have strong people in all of the sports that don't get talked about much and they quietly rack up a ton of medals. The only bet I've made so far was the GB spread against the Aussie women in basketball. I keep wanting to bet something but there's just so much going on that it's hard to focus.

    Did you see Stosur lose yesterday? That'll probably conclude our tennis coverage for the rest of the Olympics. I thought it was bad when I was living in the US but these Aussie broadcasts have serious tunnel vision. If they're not a chance to medal, good luck seeing the sport

    Exactly. From my experience women are more into the Olympics then men. The only reason that I'm even aware that they are going on is that I was overruled on Friday night by my wife and daughters and forced to watch the opening ceremonies. Baseball will be on this afternoon.

    Strangest part of the whole Olympics. These guys. Olympic mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville , representing cctv cameras? I saw a child interviewed saying how they creeped her out, sort of Orwellian. Then you have one that is sort of phallic looking. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1705070.html

    I used to love the Olympics: Only 4 years!
    But then the split up the Summer and Winter, so now the special 4 year feel isnt there anymore. Everyone other year the Olympics are going on. Kinda lost its special feel to me.

    Winter Olympics are the Olympics for the people who are good at things that less than 2% of the world has ever tried to do and doesn't really take any athleticism.

    Its like the California approach. Not many people here give a shit about sports in general. not like people from other parts of the country. So the Olympics are to the world what 'normal' sports are to the U.S. (except California). So while JJ thinks he is too cool for the Olympics, we in California are too cool for ALL sports, including the NFL (so much we dont even care if we have a team), the NBA (even when the lakers win it isnt enough to get casual people to care, when they stink no one even knows the NBA exists) and the NHL (just won a Stanley Cup and no one even knew about it). The percentage of actual fans in ratio to people who give a shit is minuscule.

    So basically the rest of the world looks at the Olympics like the US (minus California) approaches the NFL season.

    The Olympics is just something different to the plastic franchise U.S. sports leagues you are used to. I enjoy them both but for different reasons.
