Are you sick of the Olympics? - Page 4

I bet most of the country don't want to watch Bathurst all day either yet they can manage to find a remote control.

Channel 7 are a bunch of losers anyway for to reasons; they employ David Koch, and they aren't running The Dream with Roy and HG. Honestly, these IOC and olympic homosensuals are all delicate little wallflowers now aren't they?
And those accusing others of taking drugs should harden up and take the same drugs themselves, that way it would become a level playing field.

I could be wrong, however, the last time I checked, Bathurst doesn’t go for two ****ing weeks.

Very quiet in here for a Friday night, opening ceremony must be on... the 1st 30 mins was awesome...

MethodX · 09-08-2008, 02:15 AM

Aus uniform is horrid again.

the tradition has been upheld.

I'll probably be keen for the mjor drawcard event ie. swimming/running but also keen to see how Fed express does in the tennis!

This is actually an Anti Olympics thread. Anyone choosing to publicly support the Olympics should log on and post their comments here.

Last night's evening news was about Collingwood footballers, tonight its about wayne carey. Why are these meatheads made out to be superstars? If I sit down a six to watch the news i'd like to see news for 15 mins and then they can have 15 mins of sport.

Most of the time football is on the front cover of the paper here too.

I agree!! Watching the Olympics are a walk in the park compare to having to hear about Ben Cousins next drug high, Wayne Careys next bout with cops and every other bogan AFL players dunken escapades and bladder weaknesses every day!

Agreed I am so sick of hearing about sonny bill williams

The only thing I am sick of about the olympics is chanel 7 commentary team apart from that Olympics = good

DoreSlamR · 09-08-2008, 09:11 PM

Hmmm no mention on 7 news about the American tourist who got murdered in Beijing.....

Can't tarnish the 'PERFECT' opening ceremony I spose

rodderz · 10-08-2008, 10:42 AM

The aussies in the cycling were'nt allowed by the chinese officials to have their wives or families watch from the sidelines. A bit stiff when they travel all the way over and not see it!

SpoolMan · 10-08-2008, 04:06 PM

SBS has an Olympic coverage too..

pertuan · 10-08-2008, 06:16 PM

With digital TV being available, they should just broadcast different sports on the side channels. Then we have a bigger selection on what we want to watch and we won't have to put up with particular commentators. The solution is there.... they just have to use it.

I can understand swimming freestyle, understand bike riding and a few other events but where is it with breast stroke swimming, what man woman or child when dumped in the water swims like a butterfly naturally ?, then there's the pomelvault thing where you swing you adnoids over this raised log? what is all that about, ? who goes out into a Forrest See's a log and yells lets swing our aggots on this.

surely these sports were meant to replicate things we normally would do, really a pommel vault champ is good for what exactly ?

any with both the misus and I bored with all this butterfly I thought i would do a Tyson beckford ( from next supermodel ) and decided i would be a he man and rip my T shirt of for the trouble n stife, I even pre cut the top and bottom stitching to make it easier.

Well i need more weeta bix i struggled and strained to rip the shirt of with my face turning oblong like a scene from a warner bro's cartoon and in the end the thing i ripped came from my backside caused from the strain of it all.

O well back to the Go lymics.

HUH??? Yep they should introduce mowing lawns, putting the rubbish out bin night, making the bed ...... that would be great and bring 1000's in to watch! Golf, tennis, cricket etc ....... I cant remember the last time on my way to work someone hit a green ball at me and I had to hit it back ......

: When has ANY sport ever duplicated things we normally do????

Me either, however, if they had laying on the couch being a lazy ba$t@rd as an event, I would definitely be in for GOLD.

MethodX · 11-08-2008, 10:58 AM

I must say it is good to have SBS showing the games too.
Least they show different sports and different countries.

Not the usual swimming ****fest, like on channel 7.
then the replay of it.

scooby · 11-08-2008, 11:13 AM

I'm not sick of the Olympics, if you are then it's not that difficult to avoid. Go outside and play some sport or something.....!
What I am sick of is **** terrorists threatening to ruin other peoples fun and make innocent peoples lives a misery, just like their own miserable joyless lives.

Well said.. if we've got to the point where all we've got to complain about is sport or sport on TV then we're doing pretty well aren't we....
Personally id like to see more sport on TV, it makes a pleasant change to 300 versions of CSI...

AC/DC · 12-08-2008, 09:09 AM

Polish chicks playing volleyball in "those" shorts ?

how could you get sick of that ?

Plugg3r · 12-08-2008, 09:13 AM

Yeh I think the only times i've watched it so far is if I see the Female Hockey *Not for a perve its a cool sport* the Judo and Volleyball.

The swimming I avoid like the plauge.

Also say hello to 20/20 Cricket in 2012.
