Olympics--Yawn.

Does anybody care about the Olympics? The opening ceremonies are tomorrow night. About the only interested party is NBC's Dick Ebersol. The average American could care less about what's going in China...I don't care how many channels the NBC family is spreading them over. Nobody cares about these games. Outside of swimmer Michael Phelps, is there an athlete of name recognition competing here...something that will take me away from following baseball? I doubt it. Granted, Ebersol's coverage will no doubt be compelling and pro-American. (No one tells stories like Ebersol. After all, Duncan Dickie learned at the feet of the master: Roone Arledge.) So get out those pompons, Dickie needs all the help he can get.
