I know I'll be watching. I've always been a big fan of the Olympics (ever since I had Olympic dreams of my own.) Too bad college, age, injuries, and professional career got in the way.

I always liked when the crowd, in a slow way, "U-S-A, U-S-A".

Other thoughts...
- I think Team USA in basketball will win the gold medal - barely. When things get close, Larry Brown will just get the team to trap and zone the full length of the court. They have the best athletes on that team - they'll run the other teams ragged.

- I think it's unfair how Marion Jones is being treated. If she's had a positive test, don't you think the people who've figuratively placed a scarlet "C" (for cheater) on her chest would have released the results to the eager media by now.

- I hope the television coveage covers the minor sports as well.
