Seriously.
I have some hardcore love for the Olympics. We're talking hot and heavy, we're going steady, love.
I cheat on the Brewers when the Olympics are on it is that serious. Yeah. I know.
I have no preference. I'll take either. I've got a few favorite sports in each season but in the end its a wash of which one wins my heart.
The one thing that stays the same between Winter and Summer? Bob Costas. He is the man! Not only does he give such a great commentary during the opening ceremonies that he could flat out lie to me that I'd believe it. "Now entering the stadium are the athletes from Greece. Greece is a Mediterranean country whose chief export are iPods" Really Bob Costas? iPods? You don't say! It's a lie but I'd lap it up. He also is a great broadcaster. And he says things like the following. After the Canadian skier won the gold last night his girlfriend came running out and started mackin' on him. What did Bob Costas say (Oh and you know you can't just call him Bob. It's Bob Costas) "Well if the end of that interview is any indication, he's going to have a good Valentine's night." You betchya I said "Oh! BOB COSTAS!" and laughed for a solid minute.
(Oh my. So I was googling Bob Costas (what kind of reporter would I be without doing some research) and while doing it I'm watching the pairs figure skating finals. One of the judges just gasped in shock/horror. So naturally I whipped up to look at the TV to see what happened. You gotta love the figure skater commentators. Scott Hamilton? Come on!)
Another perk to the Olympics regardless of season? Matt Lauer. While I would believe anything Bob Costas says, I would buy anything Matt Lauer would sell. Why? I really don't know but I would. There is just something about Mr. Lauer that makes me think why yes! I will buy that load of crap just because you said so!
Don't even get me started on Tom Brokaw. Seriously. You think what I've said about Bob Costas and Matt is a bit much you do not want me to get into Tom. You keep your Dan Rather and your Peter Jennings. I'm a Brokaw girl through and through.
Btw when I was googling Bob Costas, the little google search thing started to finish it as Bob Costas Toupee. That can NOT be true! Bob Costas can't have a rug! His hair is 30 percent of the reason why I like him so much!
Ok. It's time to turn off the Olympics and this rambling post and read some LHOP. Whaaaaaat!
