21 Reasons To "not" Watch the Winter Olympics

I'd rather watch the Sunday morning televangelists than the olympics. All these lame "sports" bore me to tears. It's almost as bad as the soccer "world cup" (oh brother...).

Gimme a good football game (that's real football to all you Euro-metro-wannabees, not "futbol") and none of that olympics stuff matters!

You are crazy not to watch the thrill house that is the Olympics. Say what you want to about thrilling radio or TV calls, "Hob-nailed boot", "Doering's got a touchdown", "touchdown, touchdown! Michael Jenkins on fourth and one!!!", this eclipses then all:

Reasons TO watch the Olympics? It's about 20 degrees outside and these are your programming alternatives for the first weekend without football since summer:

1. Daytona 500
2. NBA All Star game
3. Some golf tournament

I suppose if you're married you can go visit the in-laws. Personally, I'd rather pull my toenails out with pliers but that was just my experience.

I caught my first glimpse about 10 last night. Seven guys on pairs of barrel staves going down a 70 degree grade on a mountainside run that looked like the moon with white acne, then twice taking off on ramps and doing single and double back flips and doing it all at about 80 MPH. I don't know if I'd call it a sport, but it beat the hell out of NASCAR.
