Olympics, who'll be watching?

I don't know about the rest of you but I am glad that these Games are finally over. 16+ days just seems like too much. The Montreal Olympics were 12 days long by comparison. I really don't think that they should be any longer than 14 days.

I think they are about right. Any longer and it would definitely be over kill. Two weeks every four years is not much to ask. It's certainly better than the seemingly endless baseball and hockey seasons we have to endure every year.

I am with you on the hockey especially. There is some Canada/Russia series going on right now and TSN had some bantam all-star game in July. Wasn't Wayne Gretzky himself critical not too long ago about there being no off-season for kids anymore?
