Man, nothing had our neighborhood buzzing in 1984 more than this guy the last time LA hosted. USA 1984 was the shite. I wish youth today got excited about the Olympics like we used to back in the dark ages.

I used to like the Olympics. I even went to some events in 1996 and 2000. After the 2004 games, I lost interest. I don't know why...just can't get into the spirit anymore.

I do wish a 20 ton safe would fall on Bob Costas and someone other than NBC broadcast the games.

Ha a friend who had a family member managing a McDonalds. He brought stacks of game cards to me. USA gold meant Big mac, Silver was drink and Bronze was fries. They had a lot of obscure sports but USA won a bunch. We ate like hogs for months!

I remember watching Phelps back in '08 from Bogies and the whole bar was going crazy.
