...there is a match between the women of France and Angola playing some sort of soccer game where you use your hands and evidently have to dribble like basketball (most of the time). It's bizarre.

Oh.. and it looks like 34 people are in attendance.

Even in glorious HD, handball sucked donkey balls.

I turned it over to NFL Network for a Patriots/Ravens preseason rebroadcast in glorious HD. God/Allah/Yahweh/Etc. allowed HD to be invented for football, or vice versa. Even preseason games do not completely suck in HD. </p>

...I played that for a summer some 28 years ago. I was a pretty good goalie back then. Catch the ball, throw it deep, and let my teammates put pressure on the other team.

Who doesn't want to say that they were an Olympian? If you're an average Joe like me and you're not good enough for Russia either, find a sport that no one plays- like four squares. Call yourself a professional, "train", and before you know it, your mug is on a Wheaties box and a McDonald's cup. It's not like I have a chance to go out for the basketball team. BUT dodgeball? Maybe. I'm sure the Olympic committee is looking for all kinds of people to represent the stars and stripes for a lot of stuff. Jacks? GO FOR IT! USA! USA! USA!

What a great pick-up line. "Well, I just got back from the Olympics." You watched? "Nope, dodgeball player." Chicks don't care. You're a pro athlete. So what that you're not Tom Brady? It's like dating a girl that did a "photo shoot" for a "modeling agency". Hey, you gotta take what you can get, and chicks do to.

It also helps if you have some kind of a sob story. Mine is I helped "disadvantaged youth" (Youth choir trip to Yellowstone National Park, most of whom go to Prep or JA. Basically I made sure that the music got there and I put the music stand up) in my spare time. I also help sick people in the hospital when I'm not training (OK, it's my job. Dodgeball isn't going to put food on my table unless I plan on living off of gum.) And DESPITE all of this, I still manage to find 30 minutes a day to train. If your not getting tears in your eyes, you have no heart.
