Chinese Gymnasts
Why thanks Billy B. for the plugs when talking about googling underage chicks. That should look great on my eHarmony.com profile (It really might!). Anyways my real concern with the gymnastics coverage is how they did not touch upon how young the Chinese gymnasts really were (Don't get any ideas Costas!!!).
I mean, I may have coached those girls' older brothers on the 10-and-under soccer team that I coached this spring, but the age of those girls competing in the Olympics is not the issue with me... although the rule clearly states that the minimum age for competing gymnasts is 15 (and turning 16 in that calendar year). And there is no way that the little mama in the diapers could even ride my tandem bike with me!
No, my real issue is...how the hell did those girls get off work long enough to compete?
My whole life I have been told and reminded of how kids in China have to work 19 hour days and that I am lucky that I have baked potatoes on my plate every meal. My problem with that logic is, those girls were not working in the "sweatshops", if they even exist...and baked potatoes suck.
How am I supposed to keep up my image as a "fly guy" if the best workers in these factories are taking the week off to galavant around a mat and look like the sun is shining in their eyes the entire time. So you are not used to a well-lit workplace...SO WHAT? Eat some more vitamin-A and get over it.
AND your failure to place a gymnast gold or silver...was the 75% drop in production for your country for the week worth it? I hope so.
Anyways, one more thought before I end my night and go rest my wrist on a razor...how, with all our colleges and universities in the United States, did we get stuck with the shittiest "analysts" and "broadcasters" in the entire world? I mean, I would rather listen to Harry Caray's dead body expel stored gas on a telecast than here about how much of a distraction Tony Romo dating Jessica Simpson is to the Cowboys. Seriously? His teammates wouldn't get on that too? No? Alright well off to "shave" my arm.
As always, ESPN sucks.

Well Put... I applaud you.
I watched the gymnastics as always, I wondered how old those girls really were... The Olympic committee verifies everyone only by what the age is on their passports. That means anyone can go and use a printer, some glue and a crayon with a picture on it and it would pass.... exagerated I know but come on with the bombings and other stuff world wide that is the best they could do.
As for the broadcasters. They sucked. I was so mad at the lack of semi intelligent coverage. There was a recap that aired today, in the recap they could not even remember who's turn it was to talk. Then when they were talking (there were 3) the third person that had some clue of what was going on was totally ignored by the other two that were taking to each other about how sexy Phelps was and that they wanted the picture of his underwear ad to stay up longer. That was a door wide open and the comments made were unprofessional. I don't care if they are in China and they are off normal time, they are still are reporting home and making themselves look like butts..
