I can’t take it any more and needed to vent about what’s making me turn off the Olympics.  Things driving me nuts are:

 1) Bob Costas

 If he says, “LIVE” again, I’ll puke.  Someone on FoxSports has stated the same thing about Bobby!  I think he’s the offspring of a frickin' gopher and locust.  Every so often he shows up and annoys us.  Thank God he doesn’t do NFL games.

 2) Chinese Gymnasts

 Olympic gymnasts must be 16 to participate.  These kids still have baby teeth and Hello Kitty t-shirts.  No one is fooled.

 Who did their birth certificates, a Dominican baseball coach?

 3) Olympic Beach Volleyball

 There’s not enough of it!  Do NOT show dudes again!

 4) Gymnastic Judges

 Apparently the East German and French figure skating judges are now doing women’s gymnastics.

 Oh, if a competition isn’t head to head or against the clock, it’s an activity, not a sport.  Judges are political tools.

 5) NBC

 The network is China’s lap dog.  The show is an infomercial for the Red Menace.   Nice hard hitting, personal interest stories about TEA make me puke.  Point out the gulags built by the Russkies for Mao’s bad boys.  Wanna buy a smog face mask?  Whoops, can't show those either.

 6) Chinese Olympic Committee/Politbureau

 You may have noticed some strange things during the Opening Ceremonies.  I did and screamed, “Bullshad!” immediately.

 It seems the sneaks used computer generated graphics to phony up what you saw on the screen.  To make it worse, some politicians decided that the little kid scheduled to sing a song wasn’t cute enough!  They pulled a Milli Vanilli and had a better looking kid lip synch.  Seems the US is having an influence on China!

 7) Medal Trackers

 I don’t see this as country by country competition.  Some countries are better at given activities.  That’s the way it is.

 I watch to see the best, especially without corrupt judges deciding results in advance.

8) Russia

 Nice timing there, Putin.  You invaded Georgia, during the Opening Ceremonies.  You’ve been busted for killing journalists and attempting to kill heads of state.  The Hague should be in your future.  (Left wing liberal pukes need not add their anti-Bush slants.)

 9) Not enough hottie shots

 I keep seeing writeups about all the cheer squads(code for  babes) at sports venues.  Hey NBC, where are these lovelies.   Since Ana Ivanovic withdrew, the hotness factor has dropped.

 10) Brett Favre

 Why him?  It took the Olympics to move this drama queen off the hourly sports intro.  Stop the tabloid reporting.  I don’t need made up items reported as fact.  Now, where are those cheerleaders?

Bonus

11) The US Olympic Committee

Mark Spitz was hosed by the USOC.  Instead of bringing Spitz over for the games, we're forced to hear the announcer insert a Spitz comment into every sentence containing Michael Phelps.  This was handled poorly, which isn't a shock.  Maybe the Chinese can use some more CGI to drop Spitz into the crowd!
