Sports: Goodbye Olympics Hello NFL
Posted August 25, 2008 10:43 AM
This is why we're a nation of fat people. There are so many compelling things to watch on television. Never mind my kid wanting me to teach her how to ride her bike. That's what training wheels are for. Just like an AM/PM commercial, there is simply "too much good stuff" and we can't pry ourselves from the boob tube. In case you wanted the total medal tally, Borat's favorite country the U.S.and A. walked away with the most medals with a cummulative 110, narrowly beating out host country China who's amazing athletes won a total of 100 medals, though they beat us in golds won with 51 to our 36.
We saw some great events this Olympics, and who will forget the amazing performances in volleyball by...well all of our teams! Phelps phans around the country are still rejoicing at his never-to-be-duplicated achievements in the pool. As all of this is soon to become a distant memory, we'll make room in our viewing brains as well as our Tivos for the rapidly approaching NFL season. This year the opener on Sept. 4 on NBC (7 p.m. ET) features the Super Bowl XLII champion New York Giants (that still sounds weird) against NFC East rival Washington Redskins.
So, we say, "embrace the armchair quarterback within each of us and enjoy." And during the commercials, have a look at our personalized gifts for men store. We've got a few cool NFL guy gifts that we think you'll love.
