    Extractions: T. Rex's Guide to Life Sports The Olympics The Olympics can be a lot of fun, particularly when the country you root for has a chance in many events. The first time I ever paid any attention to the Olympics was in 1984, at the Summer Games. I was so excited that the U.S. was doing so well in so many events. I realized later that the main reason was that all the other top countries were boycotting the games. I got interested again over the next several Summer Games, but not to the extent of 1984. But in 1996, I got really interested again as me and my wife became engrossed in the games. I'm not a big fan of most of the Olympics television coverage, though, as NBC has been pretty bad. Too many excessively cheesy non-sports stories and too much switching between sports makes it difficult to watch for too long. I've also never really been a big fan of the Winter Games, mainly, I guess, because the U.S. has never been that big a competitor in them in my lifetime. Sign Guestbook
