I think Scott Boras probably gets paid every time the movie airs and that line is uttered.
I am still mourning Rugby Sevens not being added to the Olympics. If they were going to drop baseball and softball, the least they could do was replace it with Sevens. (Which, truth be told, I do not like as much as real 15-a-side rugby, but I admit it might be more Olympics-friendly in format.)
For the Winter Olympics, definitely a Lunch Tray Downhill Slalom.
Screw beer pong. Flip cup is where it's at.
How about adding place-kicking to the Winter Olympics. Imagine an icy field, blizzard conditions, victory on the line... who'd win the gold?
Duh! Adam Vinatieri, of course.
Frozen Turkey Bowling. (Drinking rules optional, no Austrians allowed).
I'll have you know that two U of M guys won the World Tournament of Beer Pong. It made the paper and everything. Our pride is without measure.

It'd be hella more entertaining than curling. Especially with the right drinking rules.

I saw this once at a minor league hockey game. I think it was the day before Thanksgiving, hence, thematic. I don't need to tell you that it was awesome beyond all reason.
The Olympics should get rid of all "sports" that aren't sports. Ice skating and gymnastics and anything else that gets judged.
I'd vote for Beer Pong over those. Because at least with Beer Pong, there's a clear winner, and the French judge didn't fuck up or whatever.
While I have enjoyed many a game of beer pong (and are there really any losers in beer pong?) I do believe that the Winter Olympics require all events to involve ice in some way. Gin and Tonic Pong anyone?
And when Frozen Turkey Bowling perhaps we could replace the pins with little statues of Ulf Samuelsson.
A trinket-full of Jack if you break an Ulf in half.
I am stoked beyond all reason for snowboard cross. That shit is awesome.
Ice dancing = not a sport. If ballroom dancing isn't in the summer Olympics, ice dancing shouldn't be in the winter Olympics. But I would argue figure skating, with all the jumping and speed, is a sport.
I am with Amy. I loooooooooove the snowboard cross. LOVE. So many crashes.
And ice dancing sucks the soul out of life. The highlight of teh whole event was the Italian couple refusing to talk to each other or even look at each other. That was excellent.
But Amy, I'm pretty sure that Ballroom Dancing IS in the Summer Olympics.
We had a party in my Spanish class on Thursday and half my class was playing pong with water.
"But I would argue figure skating, with all the jumping and speed, is a sport" It MOST CERTAINLY IS SPORT - I have watched far too many skaters toil over the ability or not to lift themselves in the air & rotate and then land properly - you MUST be quite athletic to do this. and then I ask you this - the men are now routinely doing quads 4 1/2 rotations in the air - how much more can they do???
