Where have you gone Jim McKay?

Besides the bobos that are reporting the Games, I almost went bonkers over listening to the sno-board gal, Jacobellis, do an interview after her race.

Yaknow? What is it with athletes, yaknow? I saw the same thing, yaknow, after the Danica Patrick race, yaknow? Seems like they cannot put a sentence together without, yaknow, putting a few thoughts together, yaknow?

I did try and figure out what Bode Miller was trying to say during his interviews. He and the US ski team have had a pretty asty relationship.
They both came to an agreement to ski in Vancouver because he is/has the best chance for us to medal in any downhill event. Another non story.

All the "Up CLose and Personal" stories are, at best, clips about obnoxious athletes that cause their own problems....

What happened to the feel good stuff where an athlete is run over by a truck, tossed into air where they land on a power line, get electrocuted, go into a coma, regain their senses, get an olympic dream and sell hotdogs on a stick to finance their training?

Now?

It's super rich snow boarder with the secret training site in the mountains....all financed by Red Bull Energy Drink!!!

Give me a Moldavian curler, who cut and shaped their stones with an emery board and a meat tenderizing mallet.

Now, That's an Olympic athlete that had a dream!
