1. Misty Mae-Treanor's headshot makes her look ugly.
2. The US basketball team will easily win gold, and today they scored 156 points against Nigeria. That is amazing. However, they still couldn't beat the '92 dream team. BTW, how the hell did we take bronze in '04?
From Wiki:
The close outcome of 2000 and the humiliating results of 2002 prompted a number of NBA superstars to agree to join the team for the FIBA Americas Championship 2003, which the squad was required to participate in to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The team easily cruised to a first-place finish, earning it a spot in Athens, Greece the following summer.
However, the dominant team that competed in 2003 could not be kept together. Nine of its 12 players elected not to participate in Athens. The revamped 2004 team consisted of some young NBA stars early in their careers, such as Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, but also included recent Most Valuable Players Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson. The team was coached by Larry Brown.
After struggles in several exhibition matches, the vulnerability of the 2004 team was confirmed when Puerto Rico defeated them 92–73 in the first game of the Olympic tournament in Athens. The 19 point defeat was the most lopsided loss for the USA in the history of international competition.
After winning close games against Greece and Australia, The USA fell to Lithuania, dropping to 2–2 in the Olympic tournament. Even after an 89–53 win over Angola, the Americans entered the knockout rounds in fourth place due to goal average, the lowest seed of their group. The Americans faced undefeated Spain in their quarterfinal game, winning 102–94.
However, the semifinal match saw the team defeated by Argentina 89–81, ending the United States' hold on the gold medal. The USA did rebound to capture the bronze medal by defeating Lithuania.[27] Still, it marked only the third time that an American team failed to win gold (excluding 1980 Moscow Olympics boycott), and the first time for an American team composed of professionals. Before 2004, American teams had only lost two games in all previous Olympic tournaments, whereas in this one the American team lost three.
3. The gymnasts still have not developed breasts.
4. After having kids, the beach volleyball due of Misty and whoever have sagging boobs. They should have had some work done. I guess its not too late? But I would have had the work done before millions would be seeing me on tv. They will never have this type of audience again.
5. Bob Costas looks the same as he did in 1991.
6. Ryan Seacrest should not be broadcasting sports.
7. Michael Phelps did not train as hard as he did for the '08 games.
8. I enjoy watching the Olympics more in my house than I did in my ghetto condo in '08 down the street from White Castle.
9. I'm spent.
