Reason #673 Why The Olympics Just Don't Excite Like They Used To

[TexanBob]

Channel-hopping on NBC this afternoon and here was a new Olympic event - men's synchronized diving. Yes that's right. Two men, board-by-board trying to do the exact same jump the exact same way at the exact same time while the judges score them (or maybe that comes afterwards). Perhaps there was a crooked French judge just to add to the drama.

What happened to real-men sports like weightlifting and the marathon? Now we have fruit loops doing synchronized back flips.

The sissification of the Olympics continues....

I also caught that on TV and had never seen that. I think its been around for a while though.

When the Olympics can't draw in Athens of all places, you know the shine is officially off.

Synchronized diving? That kinda sounds like what was going on here after we beat the chiefs down last year @ MileHigh. Those Chief fans were walking the plank two by two in perfect unison leaving the Mane.

Anybody have that picture of the Chief fans diving off the cliff that was floating around here last year?

Meck, you are officially obsessed with Chiefs fans.
