is it lame or pathetic that it just made me sad when i watched the men's 4X400 relay at the olympics, and the US team won, and the US team was gracious, and there were clearly lots of boos and perhaps no cheers audible on the telecast?

like a lot of people, i guess, the people of athens don't like our foreign policy.

that's all.

wait, there's more.

let me state that i wish usa basketball had done a better job of putting together a quality team for the olympics. still, i wanted them to win the gold. that would have been nice. this being said, is it okay that, although i realize that the team was constructed in a flawed and arrogant way, i get angry when bob costas smugly looks into the camera and tells us how awful they are?

it's like, dude, i know they lost. it's not like it's a national tragedy. go tell us how great beach volleyball players are or something.
