ics. Seriously, name two gold medals winners from the last summer games. (You can't use Michael Phelps. So take him away and name two more.) Okay, name the city where the last games were played. (Up til this week I couldn't tell you either.) Pretty much the only thing I remember about the Olympics was that the USA Basketball team got spanked by some Euro team but I can't remember which one. Contrast that with what the Olympics used to be. Who can forget the Carl Lewis's and the Mary Lou Rettons and the original Dream Team? (The whole "Dream Team" thing is a perfect example of something that was "fun the first time, but now I'd wish it would go away". Kinda like smoking. At first you think it's cool and everyone is into it. Next thing you know you are paying $7.50 a pack, hacking up your lungs, getting kicked out of every restaurants, and to top it off, no ones wants to be around you because you stink.) Those days might as well be ancient history. With the internet generation, fans don't like to wait til the next Sunday for football much less another four years to see the best in the world.
