The Olympics are here

For me it's lost a lot of luster but maybe the Paris Olympics can bring some of that back. I think the parade of nations the greatest event in sports.

Fellas I hope you get a chuckle out of this especially if you've been to France.

I’ll watch almost everything I can. Star power is lacking though for sure. They market mostly women, which is cool, but that doesn’t resonate with the masses.

Not me Brother. They lost me when they decided to add break dancing as an event.
Kickball (hat tip to MM) was bad enough but break dancing????

I love the olympics. I’ll watch the big 3, if it is on at the time I watch( track, gymnastics and swimming and also boxing. I will watch any of the volleyballs if the US team us doing well. No to basketball and women’s soccer

I'm going to watch for 2 reasons-

1. Watching the Ream Team lose (they got no D).
2. When the terrorist attack happens, I want to know how the Hamas pacifists in France explain it away.
