Beijing Olympics 2008

The Olympics are beautiful, tons of different people and hundreds of nations competing in a wide multitude of sports. It is a place where the human endeavor comes and unites everyone of every culture.

But I hate that I know what Michael Phelps eats for cereal, where he frequents for coffee, how many times his mom cried during his events. Jesus the woman gets more coverage than most of the sports! Sure they are building up the American hero, but he isn't a god. I hate that 5 or 6 times a day we are hearing where he last used the bathroom, give it a break. Phelps should be a little more humble, in my opinion too.

But I love the Olympics. Go USA!

I agree we've heard quite enough about him, but I'm more annoyed by the post-medley interviews that go something like;
"Michael, gush gush gush & 99 superlatives, oh by the way, the rest of you guys... nice job supporting Michael".
