patfish Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I don't know what it is about the 29th Olympiad, but I usually am not awake past 8:30 or 9 p.m. Good stuff. USA! USA!! USA!!!

drew03cmc Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I have to say the darn 13 year old Chinese gymnasts, I feel they should be taken home, spanked, and stripped of their medals. The scoring is so screwy it is not funny....there is no way in hell that Chinese chick, He Kexin is 16. She is so far behind Liukin in development that she has to be at least 4 years younger. Andy
Murdoc Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I also find it impossible to believe that they are 16. My 8 year old daughter looks older than they do. The judgeing is also a heap of dung. I would bet that the chicken ---- Olympic com will not addess anything until they get out of the country where they think they will be safe. If we play by the rules so should everyone else!!! I am impressed with Bolt!! I just wish he would finish a race! Smiles are free http://rdpflyrods.com/

fly2fish Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The womens beach volleyball has been the only sport to hold my attention for the whole match. HC

LostMyWife Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 My DVR is about worn out. I have been driving RObbie crazy watching the Olympics. The Women's gymnastics judges were ridiculous, but the same thing would happen in MLB if you took 2/3 of the umps and replaced them with Little League Umps. The problem is that the new rules make it impossible for the judging to be fair. Forget about their age. The FIG should remove the "age" rule. 16 or 6 they were great gymnists. Bela should be more worried about why a team of 12 years kicked our collective butts. He just has to have something to rant about. When was the last time you saw 2 disqualifications in a gold metal race that gave the US 2 medals? The Australians are filing an official protest witht e Olympic Committee demanding DNA testing on Michael Phelps. They claim the US genetically enginered him with Dolphin DNA. The women's beach volleyball uniforms are not painted on, they are tatoo's. I love the fact that the Oympic committee has decided to eliminate baseball and womens softball from the Olympics due to lack of competion in one, (softball), and the fact that the US will not send it's major league players to the Olympics in the other. Seems like an oxymoron. LMW Yes, I'm That Guy
