SPORTS BLOG: JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY LIKE THE OLYMPICS?

Tell me you’d be watching the Olympics if basketball or football were in season. Shoot, I’d rather watch NFL preseason than the Olympics and that’s real!

There’s something about the world stage as opposed to American turf that just doesn’t make me go crazy. On one hand, it’s cool seeing Michael Phelps do his thing and Jamaica’s Usain Bolt putting up a just blaaaazing time in the 100m, but I’M STUCK IN MY WAYS, HOMIE!

I like my football on Sundays and about May through June, I’m all about the NBA playoffs. It’s that serious with the kid!

Besides, the Olympics are gimmicky, maaaan. Every four years there’s one dude the world goes crazy for. This time around it’s Phelps – and what dude’s doing is crazy – but at the end of the day, he’s a f**king swimmer!

SOHH what, I got an army of swimmers … and they mean business!

I remember years ago when the world had fever for Michael Johnson aka the fastest man in the world back then.

It’s always one guy! That’s the difference between the Olympics and NBA, NFL, MLB. In each of those leagues there are a ton of dudes to keep an eye on at all times (pause).

Are ya’ll with me on this!? ARE YOU GLAD TO SEE THE OLYMPICS GO? JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU LIKE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
