    Since my post about watching Olympic sports can be taken many ways …let me explain…please.

     

    There are a lot of sports that Americans “suck” at and in fact most of us have never even tried or played.

     

    But it doesn’t mean we don’t like those sports.

     

    I have watched all those Olympic events and many, many others…why?

     

    Well the obvious answer is to root for the USA but in reality it’s also to see the best compete in a particular sport.

     

    Do I follow any of those sports regularly? …no.

     

    Does that mean competitors in those sports can’t make decent money?…no

     

    Am I going to watch and root for the USA (and Italy… my wife is 100% Italian) in the World Cup?

     

    Hell yeah.

     

    Will I watch the final game even if we are not in it?

     

    Hell yeah.

    Am I just joking around?

    BOFFMEN:
    Hell yeah.

    Do I watch soccer period

    HELL NO...

    Do I blame ya for marrying a 100% Italian?

     HE... HE... HELL NO!!!

    Do I watch curling...I am ASHAMED to answer that one....

    I just love to hear 'em hollering at each other...lol...I don't know what in the world they are trying to do ...I just grew up in a disfunctional family, and since I left home, I kinda missed the screaming...lol...

    Hell no.  I wouldn't watch it if it were US and the BudLight Lingerie Team...

    I thought I would be fair and take a look at the two matches this afternoon and tuned in just after the half to Australia and Serbia....  I gave it a good look, from 0-0 (Sorry, soccer-honks... "nil-nil") through to 2-0.  My impressions?

    I haven't seen that much flopping since I took my son fishing.  My God, and you call this SPORT?!  All I saw was whining crybabies falling all over themselves on both teams...  It was embarrassing to call these people 'athletes'.  You ~have~ to be kidding me.

    So, I switched over to the Germany / Ghana game.  Germany, (all white players in black gear) had a 1 goal lead over Ghana (all black players in white gear).  What did I see?  Nothing.  Watched for 10 minutes and saw the same 5 people kick the ball in a circle.  For all intents and purposes it looked like a game we played in grammar school called 'keep away'.  No thanks.

    In both cases the games were unwatchable.  Between the crying like little bitches and the 'ring-around-the-rosey' ball handling it was completely and utterly pathetic.

    But, for the soccer-honks, I am sure that was riveting sportsmanship and a great game.

    Yea... no thanks.

    Football it is...and I love it.

    A friend of mine once described Curling as 3 school janitors on a snow day.  And I love that too.
