Let's be honest though - this opening ceremony sucked.
London put together a third world country ceremony.

weight lifting competition is getting intense

Personally didn't care for it. Agreed with those that said it couldn't touch Bejing, what could?

Thought it was on the boring side.

I did like the forging of the rings and the Mr. Bean parts.

Didn't like the whole boy meets girl in a club part.

Missed McCartney but it sounds like he was awful - saying that he was caught up in the emotion of the moment and it's not that his voice is shot.

I was shocked at how frail Muhammad Ali looked.

Michael Phelps will need an Outside Smoke in the 400IM tonight.....poor qualifying race this morning. He will be in Lane 8.

USA's Timothy Wang just lost in Table Tennis 4 games to 0. North Korea does know how to play very well.

Who do they take out next? Now that they've disposed of the Koreans? LOL

Archery team choked. Beaten by one point by the Italians.

I'll say. Judging by the towels they put down, this must be a common occurrence.

It's still nothing compared to the all-drug games:

If only Drew Brees was allowed to throw a football for the final shot, he would have hit the target dead center.

starts to make a bit more sense now:

Here's The Opening Ceremony Tribute To Terrorism Victims NBC Doesn't Want You To See

suits man, i tell ya

[El Caliente]

The archery delivered. I thought it was great. Just one of the sports (like curling) I don't follow unless it's the olympics, and I always say to myself I want to watch more, but then I never commit and where in the heck do you follow it even if you wanted to anyway.

My wife was telling me that usually the better swimmers are put in those middle lanes. It will be interesting to see how Phelps does tonight starting outside. Personally I think he is going to do well and break the current medals record, but stumbling tonight would show that even a God King can bleed.

In closing I just want to say, I hate Ryan Seacrest.

[Uk Saint]

well im enjoying the olympics

I liked the opening ceremony and thought it was great but i think if i didnt it whouldhave had to be terrible

I went for an olympic day today (sat at home and watched itt all day on the tv)... saw Handball,Shooting, Archery,Tennis,Football ,Swimming and Cycling today (watching bits and bobs of them) and enjoyed it all

Phelps i only see at the olympics every 4 years so has the writing been on the wall for some time that he has finnaly crumbled?? also who is Ryan Seacrest??
