Darn you, Michael Phelps!

Posted Tuesday, August 12, 2008 11:48 PM

So, Andy has me hooked on the Olympics. We've been watching them every day since Saturday. I'm still not crazy about the gymnastics though. I think that's because I need to see someone actually "beating" someone else - getting to the side of the pool faster, racking up scores in volleyball, that kind of thing. And can anyone tell me why ping pong and sailing are Olympic sports, but football isn't??

The problem with this? Michael Phelps races much later than I normally stay up. So, ever since the Olympics started, I haven't gone to bed before 11 p.m. (It was totally worth staying up on Sunday night though, to watch the men's relay. I loved beating France - that's what you get for talking smack. They should have known; you NEVER guarantee a win!) Of course, that makes the 5:30 a.m. alarm that much more irritating. Is it Saturday yet?

I personally can't understand why beach volleyball is olympic, but that's just me. I think football probably isn't because nobody but the americans play it. Who would they compete with?

Agreed.  Football isn't an olympic sport because only the United States plays it.

I agree! I am soo tired this morning... Micheal is too good to miss! He has a new accomplishment every night.. so I HAVE to stay up. Last night he received more gold medals than any other Olympian.. EVER. How crazy is that?

Someone else gave me that same reason about football not being an Olympic game. But, I know that Canada has a football league, and I'm 98% sure there's a league in Europe as well. Plus, I know that the NFL is working toward having international games (or at least, they were talking about it)... I think it'd be a great addition to the Olympics. Can you imagine the team we could put together?
