Monday’s Moanings

The Olympics dominated the weekend without a great deal of satisfaction. The USA Hockey team lost twice and the Swedes beat the Canadians and the whole tournament is the NHL sliced and diced and re-invented but not very good hockey. In the games I saw there were just great goal tending but not really good hockey. Maybe the next round will be better. It’s not like it was before the NHL took over.

I sat through the figure skating because my wife likes that BUT my dislike was just reinforced by the constant talking of the experts during the performances. Two words for you people, SHUT UP! I hate to sit watching a movie with someone that has seen it already and they say, “…watch this”, “…here it comes…”. Who cares that he was supposed to do a triple and only did a double? “SHUT UP”. Explain before, Analyze after, Shut-up During.

How diverse is the Olympics getting when they pick-on the only “African-American” for not being a “Team-player” in a sport loaded with individual attitudes. The Olympics lost the “Spirit of the Olympics” when the Media started reporting the medal count for each country.
