The Olympics are not over!

I wanted to let everyone know that the Olympics are not over yet. I know that for the last couple of weeks around the water cooler everyone has been talking about swimming and for good reason. Michael Phelps has put on a show with 8 medals, but all in all we still have some good items left. One is the USA basketball team. They are really playing well. I know that the NBA has been a turnoff with all of the large contracts and egos, but for the Olympics, all of these things are being pushed aside for some great team ball. They are really playing well to this point. They are in the medal round after a whooping on Australia this morning by 30. The next game is set for Friday August 22. I am excited. This team needs Gold. They are settling for nothing less. Please do yourself a favor set your TiVo b/c the games come on at weird times. Here is a link that you can use to help you out with the time.

I will leave you with this. If you could see Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul on the same team play for your country courtside would you take it. Well here is a front row ticket.

GO USA!
