The opening ceremonies were just truly amazing. The person who put that together has to rise above the genius level. The portion of the program where the boxes were rising up an down went beyond belief when it was revealed that instead of hydraulics, it was totally people powered. The precision, the mammoth LCD screen on the floor and the graphics on the top of the stadium where far and away the best I have ever seen. The giant globe rising from the floor with the people criss-crossing on the sides was mind boggling. Not to mention the fireworks display.
Truly an event for the ages.
Watching these women play handball really puts all those NBA players who scream and fall to the ground acting like they've been shot every time somebody touches their hand to shame.
Anybody else's Cox HD feed have the sound and picture cutting out or jittering? NBC is the only HD channel doing it for me, and this hasn't happened before.
they mentioned the man's name numerous times. What he did with that program was unlike anything I've ever seen, and far beyond what most people would even attempt to dream up, much less put into action.
It was a gorgeous ceremony.
The lighting of the torch at the end was awesome too, and the fact that they put the torch up there in the last 30 minutes of the ceremonies was crazy.
The portion of the program where the boxes were rising up an down went beyond belief when it was revealed that instead of hydraulics, it was totally people powered.
I am done with beach volleyball.
I don't care about how they met their husbands.
I can't watch a sport where the same thing happens over and over.
I am finally tired of the butt shots.
I can no longer listen to the stupid announcers.
Also, can we know pay attention to some other olympic athletes besides the beach volleyballers and Michael Phelps? Pleez?
The same butts (almost not even butts really) over and over? Ugh. Beach volleyball has no volleys. Extremely boring.
Who watches slamball?Hey, the Cuban butts were very nice, well...one's was.
Who needs stinkin' volleys? Beach volleyball is about kills and blocks, and that's it. It is to indoor volleyball as Slamball is to basketball.
Oh, and I think handball is on tonight or in what I recorded this morning...THAT is fun to watch.
Who watches slamball?
