LOL!

I'm not sure how anyone can be bored watching Michael Phelps and the other US men swimmers walk around with their suits pulled halfway down. Replay please.... :)

Does that woman own a dress?

Better get used to saying that this century, folks.

And kerry - what are you, an idiot? Leave your petty politics out of it.

I don't like the location (China), but aside from that I've always loved watching the Olympics. It's a rare chance to see people achieve their dreams.

I don't see all the hoopla about the US men's basketball team, but who could remain unmoved while watching the US men's 400m freestyle race KICK ASS last night?! I had to laugh at the thought of that arrogant Alain Bernard eat his FRENCH-fried crow!!! TEEHEEHAHA, FRANCE!!!!

He couldn't refrain from staring at his watch and rolling his eyes with fidgety impatience when called upon to behave like a dignified head of state during the opening ceremonies.

All the nuances of international relations and competitive sport must seem pretty boring without the chance you'll see someone get severely injured in a high speed crash. Although I'm not sure why you want to announce your lack of sophistication so publicly.

Kerry's glass is always half empty. Many of us had dreams of the olympics for most of our lives. Me personally, could I ever even have come close? Absolutely not. But dreams are always valid. Now that I'm well beyond the age of even being able to dream about going to the olympics, I, like millions of others, get a whole lot of enjoyment watching these athletes live out the sometimes one single moment that they've dreamt of and worked for all of their lives. It's too bad that people like Kerry and her omnipresent friend and fan BCAT fail to keep in mind that that's what the olympics are about and why they'll always be looked upon more fondly and with more excitement that Kerry Dougherty's column ever will be. Sorry Kerry, but us regular working class folk will always like the summer olympics.

Check out the medals we've already won. I'm very pround of our team USA, sure hope you are.

Good Point; I'm not interested, and I'm not Watching.

If you think it's boring, then don't watch.

And that something is that, no matter how one views the summer olympics, they were around long before Kerry and her column and they'll be around long after. They have always been more popular and welcome than Kerry's column and they always will be. So just you keep right on moaning about how boring the olympics are kerry, but just keep in mind that your opinions have brought about more yawns in just a few years than the olympics will bring about over the next few centuries.

NBC will make it even more boring with all of it's "Olympic Moments" and background stories . Too much USA cheer leading by the media , at least we don't have to suffer through anymore Katy Kouric interviews .
Ann Curry is bad enough and getting worse with the tear jerkers . Enough of the sappy stories , show us even the events that the USA doesn't do good in . It is supposed to be about sports and excellence regardless of the medal count .

I am a fan of the olympics, winter and summer, and I always look forward to them, but unlike Kerry, I prefer the summer to the winter. I love the gymnastics, track and all the swimming events. I just think China was a poor choice, and pray there is no violence. I heard Bush on the news state he's proud to represent the U.S. at the games. Sorry Bush, but it's the athlets that represnet us, certainly not you. Didn't he say something just as stupid at another olympic year?
