    I've been watching way too much of the Olympics, especially now that I can watch the whole Judo competition online, to the detriment of work, friendship and "gasp" posting on Clutchfans :eek:

    The other night a girl that I had previously dated stopped by my place looking for some romantic companionship but I was too wrapped up in watching Olympic Judo to oblige. That's when I realized I've got Olympic fever bad.

    Anyone else out there?

    Only Men's basketball. Every day when it comes on at 7 before work, I am always late. I love me some redeem team.

    I see that I disagree with much of what you post on the site, but here is something we can both agree on.

    You only disagree with me because you are prole. You can't help that though. I forgive you.

    Let's just cheer on some redeem team and forget our differences.

    Yeah only basketball and the gym bars so far are interesting to me. Swimming..volleyball..a snoozefest. Can't wait till track and field starts up.

    i yeah i do but i guess its because the variety of sports that they are showing that normally wouldnt be shown here in the US that has me interested really. Factor in that it only happens once every 4 years makes it all the more special. I hardly watched any last time in athens since almost every event was spoiled for me because of the time difference. at least right now its not as bad as we have some live events at night on NBC.

    i too fell victim to watching fencing

    I do. Because I stay home with the kid, the Olympics is a huge improvement over daytime TV. We can only watch preseason football games so many times...

    Olympic hoops hasn't appealed to me since the original Dream Team.. and it still doesn't. Even the year Dream was in it, I watched, but it wasn't easy. Not watching a ton this year.

    Watching a lot of swimming of course (that first relay pretty much reeled me in to watch all their events i think).. gymnastics to see who wins cause it's close.

    Random things if i'm bored and they're on like fencing, diving, beach volleyball, whatever..

    I expected to only watch the basketball, but I have been really into swimming and gymnastics.

    I have a mild case. Dislike some of the things I've seen (like 11 year olds competing illegally).

    Or perhaps it is you who is prole. Maybe you should forgive yourself?

    With that said, yes, lets cheer on the U.S.A. Spain is next. :cool:
