silly me, i thought the olympics were about the sports, and their related back stories, not about the celebrities who added nothing to the spectacle of sports, what a turnoff!! which is what i did.
@MS72 …. You probably knew this, but as an expat Red Sox fan, I didn’t, until I saw it in my Fox Sports newsletter this morning … “Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen makes history by playing in same game for 2 teams!”
It was about exploiting athletes. It was also about cheating since the Eastern Bloc countries would put their athletes into the armed forces and pay them that way.

I really thought he had volunteered to do it for free as an excited fanboy. I didn’t see that his “knowledge” of anything added 2¢ to the coverage.

NBC does not really cover the Olympics. It covers personalities.

Actually, Snoop was just green-screened onto Parisian settings. There’s no legal cannabis in France.
