At least they could have some kind of package for the gold medal winner from all the corporate mubo jumbo. Something like they'll pay for their school, or their kids or something. Or just get rid of the damn commercials all together!

Olympic coverage is on DirecTV on 750-753. FYI

Kobe Bryant
This was the oddity of the night. Behind the Chinese president and the entire national team, the one athlete who appeared to get the loudest ovation was none other than Kobe Bean Bryant. The moment was so odd that even U.S. journalists were looking at each other in puzzlement. The Russian, Chinese and American presidents were here, but Kobe was the head of state tonight

half-naked?! all they're wearing are speedos. i'd call that NEAR naked, hubba hubba.

edit: if anyone recalls my mustache fascination... i'll also be on the lookout for whether or not this guy still has his:

Also many events are being streamed online only...for example shooting will be on 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing | Athlete, Team Profiles, Olympics News | Free Photos & Videos | NBC Olympics

More of a fan of the winter olympics.
