so have you guys been watching the olympics? i have, and i have been watching a lot of boxing mainly because the coverage on tv only allows me to watch boxing in the middle of the day. the coverage is terrible but thats another post. what im angry about is the scoring in olympic boxing. its archaic and arbitrary. there are human judges that have to hit a button when they “see” a landed punch to score for the boxer. the problem is all the judges have to hit the button with in something like 3 seconds to score, also they are deciding whats a landed or not landed punch, and obviously this doesnt happen correctly. ive watched so many bouts where one boxer has landed 4-5 punches and not 1 was counted. the announcers have even commented that this type of scoring isnt working. come on its time to get modern and do a different type of scoring thats more even and fair to the boxers. the winners arent really winners if its up to some jerk off pressing a button when he or she thinks they saw a punch land.
wooo!! hoooo!! the olympics start friday! im pretty stoked about the usa basketball and thats about it, the rest is super politically charged and im not sure the olympics should even be in china considering what they have done to their own people to make their crap ass country appealing to the rest of the world. but i digress, what im here to talk about is the team. ive been reading some other blogs about how the team is not playing well and they are worried we may not win gold. heres the thing, the us has simply used these first 5 games as pure practice. and thats it, just practice. every team they have played has also used it as practice but with the intent on winning. no team other than the us has used all of its players during the games. meaning they used their best players against our third string. plus many of the teams are saving their best guys from the nba until the olympics actually start. so i guess what im getting at is everybody needs to relax, im sure we are going to se much tighter play and lots of new offensive looks. our defense is awesome! there are lots of great plays in these 5 exhibitions, my favorite was jason kidd blocking the shot of an australian player that was 6′9 while defending a 3 on 1 fast break. think about that kidd is old and short and broke up a fast break with a manhandling blocked shot. im just glad they get to play inside and not have to breath the mud that serves as air outside. so get ready for china in the first round on the 10th. heres the schedule
later players.
hey everybody you can all breath a sigh of relief, puppy popcicles, doggy danish, houndburgers, canine cassarole, barking bacon, flea bitten flautas, yip yappin yogurt, old yeller corn bread, pamaranian pimento loaf and well hotdogs are all off the menu at the olympics in beijing. seriuosly, im not making this up. if they are taking dog off the menu because they know the rest of the world knows its wrong wouldnt you think that they might get the hint and switch to a different form of meat all together? this kind of thinking is just beyond me. if you really think something is right you should continue to do it when the rest of the world is watching. havent they paid attention to bush for 8 years? serve that dog up bitches you like it so much you should show the rest of the world how great it is. or maybe you dont want to show just how lazy you are, by not curbing the pet population in other ways than eating them or the fact that you cant get out of the dark ages; by farming cows, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, yaks, something that doesnt show up at your back door beggin for a scrap of his buddy! the fact that you freaks eat anything is not a cool social difference. its lazy. its not inventive or making the best of a bad situation. look around china, even though you own 24% of the u.s. debt you are still backwards pricks that cant take care of your own people.
and dont get me started on how we dont take care of our own cause i know and that will be another post soon. so shut it!
all right lets enjoy something else! why ban it? it would be a great game!
so how rad is the commitment of protesters? all over the world the torch is getting fucked with, and i for one am happy as hell to see it. there are people hanging from the golden gate bridge as i write this, risking their lives to bring a voice to people who have none!
check out the cnn stories.
fuck china! they should not be hosting the olympics! if ya see the torch make yourself heard!
