Sorry, but to make this statement and follow it up by calling the opening "boring", is simply missing the plot.

Most def.

People are still raving, three days later, about these ceremonies. I think Kelli is the only one in the world who found them "boring."

I found a couple of the acts in the beginning somewhat dull, but what was way before the torch and everything. Very Happy

I've always liked the parade of nations and the torch-lighting (oh, and the fireworks) more than the cultural acts.

I was reading the recap of events in yesterday's LA Times. The author said that Kobe Bryant, in his first Olympics, "seemed stunned" and "was quietly blending in."

Does anyone know why this is Bryant's first Olympics? I wasn't aware of that.



2000- He opted not to join he was planning on getting married that year and I think they didn't want him back then.

2004- Colorado


OK.

Kobe really doesn't say that much beyond the bland PC answers he gives the press most of the time anyways ...

Yeah....he's typically quiet....but when he opens his mouth it's usually an arrogant comment. (and I'm a fan..lol)

I thought he, and the rest of the basketball team, have represented the United States very well. They've even toned down the showboating during the games..(which I was really hoping they'd do.)

Still really weird that Kobe's more popular than Yao..
