Okay, okay, so I am an Olympics junkie. There have been a few nights that Eric and I have found ourselves up really late...past midnight, which is basically pulling an all-nighter for us (we typically go to bed shortly after Emily does at 9:30pm). Although we've enjoyed watching the games, I've become very annoyed at interviewers in regards to the games. They say the stupidest things and ask the most asinine questions. I mean, really, why would you ask Mark Spitz (sp?) if he will be upset if Michael Phelps surpasses his record? I mean, even IF Spitz was so cocky and would be upset, would he REALLY admit it? But, isn't that also part of being a champion...knowing how to deal graciously with your competitors and the public? Then, another interviewer was talking to Kobe Bryant and asked (using a stupid voice and look, I might add) if "saying your country is the best is 'cool'". Uh, dumb, dumb question.
Anyway, just annoyed at these people. I'm sure they could ask better questions and real questions rather than the stupid stuff (fluff, perhaps) they come up with to fill the spot.

We are right there with you! We were watching the women's team gymnastics and one of the girls fell off the balance beam and then messed up on the floor routine (I didn't get to see it, just watched teh interview). The interviewer asked her what she was thinking when she fell off the balance beam and she said that she couldn't believe she was on the floor. She personally took the blame for the team getting silver instead of gold. The interviewer kept asking asking her the same question over and over (and we believe it was to see if she'd cry). Then the same interviewer goes back to the team (with this girl) and starts asking the team questions. You can bet that she asked if they blamed the girl who fell of the balance beam for losing them the gold. The poor girl started crying! I couldn't believe it!
