I would be upset if it was the America's Cup. I don't
care much about the Olympics, except this:

I have to agree, Bart. Since allowing pro athletes, the whole concept has
lost its luster. Those days when the little guy--the poor, unsponsored
athlete from Nowhere, like Eddie the Eagle (ski jumper from Britain)--can
compete and occasionally win are woefully gone forever.

Long live Avery Brundage.

According to NBC this am, their rating share for any night of the Olympics
so far has not exceeded a 4, and that was for the opening ceremonies. The
events have been more like a 3. Guess others concur as well.
