the 2008 saccharine vignette Olympiad sponsored by NBC
The opening ceremonies for the 2008 Olympics are this Friday at 8pm. Closing ceremonies are Sunday, August 24th. Go USA! Anyone know the woofy olympians to watch out for this time around?
I will be rooting for the Kazaks in the equestrian events, all the female pole vaulters (because they make this cute 'eep!' noise when they clear the bar), and Jamaican sprinters. The U.S. basketball team will be the underdogs in their event, which is fun to watch too. 
In other sporting news, His Royal Packers Hotness Brett Favre is now back in Green Bay. With all the drama preceding his return, it doesn't feel quite right. But hey, if Cher can have multiple comeback "final farewell" tours so can Brett Favre. It's good to have a scruffy quarterback who's "my age" and still playing football. (UPDATE: maybe not. I can't keep up with this.) It gives me an excuse to play rugby, which starts this week for regular fall practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:45 to 8:45 at at Stead Field located between 17th and 16th Streets on P Street, NW. We have a busy fall schedule with a lot of matches every Saturday starting in September through the middle of November.

Do you think he gets his girl friend to shave that into his chest or a buddy? cause if it's another guy that is some hot homo erotic action right there.....
Too tall and gangly IMHO but swimmer Michael Phelps seems to be sporting a pretty good handlebar mustache these days (or is that a fu...I get them mixed up?)
I think he is trying to channel Mark Spitz.
I'm all about the soccer. The U.S. men's team will probably lose in the first round, but I am stoked to see Brian McBride playing for America again. Do an image search for him, Jimbo. He's yum.
I was waiting for the Favre to make the blog.
I kept my fingers crossed for you.
I think Favre should stay retired. He should end his career on a high note and not try to look like he is "needy" If he wants to still be in Football, he should do what Gretzky* did. Retire and be a coach for a team.
And that guy in the pic... scary
*Yes Wayne Gretzky is in hockey. But at least he retired on a high note and just became a coach after wards
Brett FAvre: I can haz Jetz jerzee?
