Anybody besides me planning on watching zero Olympics?
Most of these athletes are pure professionals anymore. Watching any professional sports to me is like watching factory machinery. Someplace @ 1976 or so I just lost interest. I think it was when the BBall went pro in the Olympics.

1. I'm not planning on watching any Olympics, but I'm not specifically planning on
watching zero Olypmpics. If it comes on and I'm too lazy to find the remote, I'll watch. And, if I happen to channel-surf past the Dutch field hockey team I'm pretty sure I'll stop for a bit...

6. I won't be watching any of it.
I haven't turned on my tv in over a year, and this certainly won't tempt me at all to suddenly want to turn it on. :shrug:
