Poor Javone, his parents thought they were setting him up for a pro Basketball or Football gig with the name they saddled him with.

Yep, the Olympic trip didn’t turn out well.

I well remember Oprah saying that Obama was the captain of their team.

And Michelle Obama at the time said that the strategy for Copenhagen was “take no prisoners” as they lobbied for Chicago.

Heck the Olympic failure may even be part of why Daley decided to retire. It was to be his crown jewel. I’m sure he would have wanted to still be mayor in 2016 if he would get to preside over the Olympics.
