So I’ve been watching the Olympics…it is something I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid. Although you have the occasional report of a doper or a scandal, there is always something special or magnificent about the Olympics to me. Perhaps it is the thought that maybe for a few, brief weeks, the world competes in sports and with sportsmanship and forgets all the bullshit.

During events, NBC generally has at least one expert in the sport that is being shown along with an announcer and this tends to work out well. However, when you watch channels like MSNBC, there are always the 3rd stringers on who aren’t there to comment on sports, but about “every day life” at the Olympics or all kinds of bullshit.

So the other day I’m watching Tiki Barber and some chick in Beijing banter back and forth with some personality back in the US. Tiki looks plane uncomfortable and the two women attempt to outdo each other with their douchebaggery aka “witty” banter.

It was one of those trainwrecks that was so bad, it was good. If I hadn’t been working at a computer on the other side of the room, I would have changed the channel…I’m glad I didn’t.

The woman in the US starts interviewing the US 400m hurdler who won gold and asked to try on his medal. She then says to the woman in Beijing, “Don’t you wish you could do this?”

Trying to be a smart ass back, the woman in Beijing replies, “That’s ok…I’ve been wearing Tiki’s Super Bowl ring all day and I’d rather have that.”

Granted, that would generally be rude enough…however that isn’t the problem. Tiki retired from the Giants in acrimonious fashion the year before the Giants won the Super Bowl. So now not only is the dumb bitch being shown as an attempted, on-upper, and liar. Tiki is looking at her with death in his eyes and says, “I should bench press you over this wall.”

Fucking classic…I wish I had it Tivo’d.
