• Misty, Kerri . . . . . . Tiger & Pavelen

    Now that the Olympics are coming to an end, I have a few thoughts on the subject. I think . . . . . . . . . Michael Phelps is a great athlete, but is no comparison to the accomplishments of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. This dynamic duo has a winning streak of 108 matches in a row and 14 consecutive Olympic matches. Michael received 8 gold medals for the 8 events he was in. An amazing feat by any standard, but Misty & Kerri . . . . . . . . I don’t know how many individual games they won . . . . . . . . but the numbers are incredible. If they had a gold for every match . . . . . . . . well . . . . . . there would be a lot of gold.

     
    And then we have woman’s softball. Why are they taking this out of the Olympics? Is it because no one watches . . . . . . maybe not enough participation . . . . . . or because somebody’s daughter didn’t make the team. Who knows, but the U. S. team played great - until the end.
     
    What about basketball???????  When did the Olympics lose track of being an amateur sporting event??? Did the U.S. even win the gold for basketball? I don’t know . . . . . . I can’t bear to watch 30 million dollar a year players compete against (what amounts to) a college team. Doesn’t seem right to me.
     
    I think they should add golf as an event. Then we can watch Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson team up against Vladimir Petrosivic and Pavelen Kabrickinov of the Iclandic Golf Association. Then maybe we should include American football. How much fun would it be to watch the New England Patriots demolish teams like the Debrovnik Olive Trees. That should be an interesting challenge.
