    An event for women?

    Age fudging?

    You have to fudge about your age and the opponents have to guess your age-points awarded the closer the guess.

    -------------

    Like why did they disqualify the horses for doping?

    They should go after the dopes that were horsing around.

    -------

    Another sport. Shopping to match your outfit to the medal you win!


    ----

    Race walking?

    Is that running for lazy people or people who are only half inspired?

    -------

    SUPER GLUE on the batons for the team track relays!

    --------

    Phelps has a contract with the company who did the time for the games, Omega!

    There should be some sort of honerable mention prize for people who crash in the biking events, especially BMX. Both finals had a couple of huge wipeouts and those poor competitors at least deserve a gift basket lol.

    LOL, a basket full of gauze, tape and iron on knee patches!

    Johnson and Johnson sponsorship?
    I am stuck on Band -aids, cause Band-aids' stuck on me!!!!!

    What's more embarrassing?

    Pulling out of an event because you are hurt or planting face on a dirt track then getting hurt?

    -----------

    No ties in the Olympics! Rock, rock paper scissors to decide.

    Or yeah these guys can swim, but can they hold their breath underwater longer?

    Make them swim again with one of the synchronized swimmers on their back!

    Phelps may be the world's best swimmer, but I can kick his arse in Jeopardy!,
    Tequila shooters and changing the litter in the cat box.

    Being good at one thing is amazing, But I'd like to see him chase after the cat that races out the door?, How many bags of cat litter can he carry at once?
    Can he clip cat claws without bleeding?

    Cats don't even like water.

    He's got a ton of gold medals for swimming, I have one in the Game Of Life!

    LOL, Might look good on a job application?

    "Position desired?"
    LIFEGUARD!

    Ok, I'll be the oddball here then.

    Rather than change any of the events themselves (athough those are all really cool ideas), we simply change the audience. It's simple it would work like this....

    Everyone at home has a little box with buttons hooked to the tv, everyone at the event also has a similar box, although obviously wireless but people actually there also get a stick 'em dart gun. (follow me on this one)

    We eliminate the judges almost entirely, save one to count the stick 'em darts. People at home vote for who got the win (kinda like a reverse Survivor). The best part is the people who are actually there not only get to vote, but if they want someone disqualified they have to get at least 25 stick 'em dart guns to stick to the athlete.

    I think this would eliminate alot of crappy judging (women's gymnastics comes to mind), allow the audience to participate, AND as a bonus the people in the stands get to shoot suction cup darts at the athletes that really screw up. Following this logic(?) further we could have remote stick 'em dart guns controlled by the internet users!

    I'm picturing a gymnast with a bunch of stick 'em darts all over and a judge trying to count them while they are still competing. ROFL

    HEY DJ!


    I had set up my cable box to show me all the Olympic channels. The last channel on the list was the place where they showed all the replays of the Olympic qualifiers.

    I tuned into the last day of the Track and Field races from Eugene Oregon....


    During the women's 1500 meter race I looked at the infield and saw a giant sponor's sign that said...

    Johnson and Johnson

    I laughed!
