I care.  Just hoping they show some popular or traditional sports that even if Americans aren't expected to medal in and/or sweep.

I used to love the Olympics, but now I get kind of a "World's Fair" anachronistic vibe from it.

I'm looking forward to the Olympics.  I agree with birdymaker that the games have been tainted somewhat, but there is still a lot of drama involved.

In Canada, we REALLY look forward to the winter games.  There's much more interest in those.

You won't find it.  It's really sesquipedaliophobia, everyone knows that.

Some sports I like watching. Just hope they get some tv time.

Not like it was in the "old days" with the East Germans and the Russians though. [sm_devil]
