You mean your Olympic coverage shows something **other** than judo? It seems that’s all I got for six nights straight! Of course, my location might have somthing to do with that… ---

Indoor volleyball is a far more interesting sport to watch. Of course, Kerri Walsh is from the Bay Area and Misty May is from Los Angeles, so I’m waiting for the old North vs. South hatred to kick in so they can get into a fight. ---

They are showing a lot more judo because Rusty Kanokogi is doing the announcing. Enough said. ---

I gotta say … any sport where women wear skimpy bikinis … and then they bend over at the waist … and the camera shows them from behind … that’s a GREAT sport!!! ---
