I admit,I'm not a big...Alright the olympics are on...

Typically,I here about all the hub-bub leeading up to the olympics.This time,They are practically upon us,and there isn't alot of buzz about it.I've been told,Watch NBC,they're pimping the hell out of them.

I also have to admit,most of the time,after about the 3rd day,I'm done,I just want them to end.

Are you going to watch the olympics?

The Olympics sucks.

It's hard to have a "buzz" about the Winter Olympics (first of all it's not even the Summer Olympics) when you have:

1. Kobe dropping 81
2. The Super Bowl
3. Hell even the Austrailian Open

I willw atch every bit of the Olympics I can. I could care less about any of the "buzz" jtex mentioned other than the Super Bowl.

I like the hockey coverage, speed skating, ski jumping, and the downhill racing. Then again I use to work at a ski resort, so it keeps my interest.

As a side question, is it just the Winter games you guys don't like or do you not care for the Summer games either?

I watch the hockey games, and usually thats about it. Laura watches the figure skating, and every once in a while we will watch some skiing.

The committee has decided that individual judges scores will not be announced for figure skating this year. They are only showing the totals, so no Russian judges controversies this year.

The US drew a tough pool. I was hoping for some easier first round matchups.

Do you have any kind of link to any sites? I'd like to see where Italy is.

I typically watch the Olympics. Not like die hard but I catch what is on when I am lying around the house. I generally enjoy the Summer Olympics more then the Winter but I watch them both!!!!!
