Merci, Paris. Very well hosted games.
especially since Dre is a total piece of crap person but somehow gets away with it.It is very bizarre to me as a kid of the 90’s that we sending out Snoop and Dre as our most visible American exports
The Olympics on CBC in Detroit will never be the same Thank you, Scott Russell
Echo all of these thoughts pretty much to a T.Already have the post-Olympic blues. This one hurts abit more because it was an amazing games and has become one of my favorites outside of the opening ceremony which was kind of a mess. Great performances by many of the athletes, amazing venues where most of them were packed with very loud spectators and everything seemed to be so well run.
I think I'll remember these games most for the crowds and the venues. I don't know how any future Olympic host can top some of the sick venues that Paris had. Eiffel Tower arena where the beach volleyball games were played was insane and the Grand Palais for fencing and other events were my two favorites. And hats off to the French people and others who attended the events who cheer so loudly and gave most events such great energy and atmosphere. The French really do know how to get loud and passionate for their own athletes as well as from other nations.
Oh well. On to the next one in a couple of years.
Professional late night comedy is pretty much over at this point. I like him a little better than Kimmel, but neither are anywhere near what the late night comedians were in prior eras. I was a Leno fan, but I’ll even give Letterman credit for being decent. This current generation aren’t in the same league.Jim Fallon is so unfunny.
Fallon is fine when he’s just being himself, but when he gets into an act, it’s just death.Professional late night comedy is pretty much over at this point.

as a relatively wealthy and athletic country we should be better, probably somewhere to where Australia is.
Still 1988 in Calgary Canada only got two silver and three bronze medals. Australia most recently getting one gold, two silvers, and a bronze in winter is basically the same level of performance. They may not be about to increase it to 26 in two years time and given the approaching summer games in Brisbane the extra investment won't be there anyway, but Canada is not entirely invulnerable even in winter.
