The most boring stuff is whatever middle distance running event sees 3 Kenyans take the lead after a few meters and keeping it until the end. That's a purely anthropometric event, with no technique of any kind involved. Those guys just have better genetic and that's it. It's like giving gold medals for the shortest or tallest man in the world. |

maybe it is just the coverage, but the 12 o'clock Bravo sailing i intolerable. They need a Mario Kart status bar to show who is in th lead. I swear I could simulate the current coverage, by dumpin styrofoam packing into my bathtub. You know that there is a rea problem when one of the boat classes is described by a commentator a underpowered. I think that some rich NBC exec really had too much sa in the coverage, because olympic sailing sure as hell is not America' Cup or whatever other sailing race knocks cycling and PBR from OLN -- lazysegall |
