I yelled SHUT UP when Brian mentioned those who left their blood in Italy......referring to World War II.

He's such an empty suit. I hate his vapid commentary.

[Txsleuth]

NO...Jimmy Carted CANCELLED his Olympics, remember?

[bayourant]

thats true lol i still hoping to hear the "neutron dance" so far no luck

[dfwgator]

All of the acts they are playing are American, are they not?

[castawayinabluestate]

For 'Denmark' we got a long talk about some cartoons. Not a word about the country or the athletes. Just more obsession over cartoons!

[filbert]

I was thinking the same thing. Not very tasteful.

This whole thing redefines "tasteless" for a new generation . . .

[Howlin]

Oh, you know it's coming. Yeah yeah yeah yeah...stayin' alive!

[retrokitten]

Yes, you know it's coming.

[LucyJo]

I was thinking the same thing. Guess it's because there are so many commercials chopping it up.

[mainepatsfan]

I guess "Eye of the Tiger" will be up next.

[Howlin]

I wish they'd leave all that out and tell us about the OLYMPICS.

[Mo1]

As far as I can tell they are all american

[dfwgator]

France. Are they waving their white flags?

[OldFriend]

In the 40s when this ceremony began.

It's edited to make it go faster. DRAT

The blasted Frogs

[STARWISE]

Very interesting .. bought by a European. What was the band? Does he still have one?

[mainepatsfan]

Oh was I happy when London beat out Paris for the 2012 games!

[Howlin]

LOL........very funny.

[retrokitten]

The French athletes all look like sailors.

[OldFriend]

Cancelled our participation to punish the Soviets.

Punished our athletes is what the imbecile did.
