OLYMPICS!

Looks like womens Gymnastics fell short, it was close!  With that said, I think Alicia Malone* is hot!  She looks like she can kick my arse!

Really I could care less about the Olympics(except Basketball), but this article about Yao is awesome..... I really respect him so the fact that the author is heaping praises as well may color my view.

BTW, I used to enjoy the games when they were all played on a four year cycle and it was truely an amatuer competion. Now you have games every two years and they expect me to make as big of a deal out of it.... it's not. And the purity of purpose has been diluted. It used to be athletes that wanted to go had to forego the money grab till after they won their gold, making it very clear what a persons priorities were, and their desire to be the best.

Well, a large majority of the atheletes are still amatuers and they are participating in sports that aren't mainstream.  I enjoy the olympics and I feel all the atheletes are there to win, not to get paid.

And don't you think it is funny that you dislike the Olympics for your stated reasons except for the basketball portion.     There are NO amateurs playing for the gold in basketball.

I take you mean Alicia Sacramone, the gymnast.  I agree that she is pretty hot.  And she probably could kick my ass.  Here neck is huge.

Alicia looks more like Jessica Simpson's sister than her real sister.  Yes, very hot!     A little powerhouse.  Too bad she's f'ed up for life now after messing up pretty bad..twice!!   



BTW..hearing stories like that men's beach volleyball player is why I like the olympics.  That guy came from a broken family, worked to support his alcholic mother and siblings while in high school, quit high school and then became a beach volleyball player.  Not all of the athletes grew up with silver spoons and training from a young age.

About to check that out if the DirecTV will ever come back on.  Lost signal for some reason.

But regular volleyball just isn't as good after watching the hotties play the beach version.

You have a storm around that area or the wind blowing??  The only bad thing about direct tv.  It goes out with bad weather.  I always have something on Tivo to watch though for backup. 

True..regular volleyball just isn't the same.

There were some showers/storms in the area.  Usually doesn't affect it too bad, but there must have been a thunderhead directly in line or something.  It is back on now.  I'm at my folks house right now.  I have cable back at school, and I, by far, prefer DirecTV over our cable service.  The cable equipment is crap as is the channel selection.

Yeah, I had to reboot the cable box twice last night.   

At least it didn't happen during the live Olympics broadcast though.

We got DirectTv back in 2001 and haven't been without it since!  

Love TiVo..I wish I had it on the radio too!!  

..back to volleyball!

karoli is right, though... they should just remove the age limits.

+1  She is super hot.  I just love the way they look in those outfits.  Plus its good to like her because she is of age.  Also, she goes to Brown. Wow

someone at work today told me he thought she looked "ugly" because her neck was too big.  i had a huge "WTF" ready for him.  i guess he prefers those "dallas girls"...
