So the 2008 Olympics got rolling this past weekend. And although most of the Olympic games aren’t worth scheduling time around, I admit to being psyched up about women’s beach volleyball. And anyone that knows me will tell you that watching Olympic women’s beach volleyball is a sure-fire way to get my Olympic juices flowing! That, or I have acid reflux. Not 100% sure. And since here in the states they will surely be televising each USA women’s match, I truly hope their opponents are hot. Because I really don’t think the American women, Misty May and Kerri Walsh, are all that attractive. In fact, let me go as far as to say that Misty May is kind of fugly. Maybe there is another USA women’s team? Anyone know? With cute girls, maybe? A team worth getting behind? Is it so hard to have a girls volleyball team that is competitive and hot?
Now here’s a volleyball player easy on the eyes. This is Tian Jia from the host country of China. The girl has nice form. Very nice form. 
Here’s something that shocks me. Cheerleaders? At a women’s beach volleyball game at the 2004 Athens Olympics? Makes me think of that ‘Beer Heaven‘ commercial. I mean, can it get any better than that? The athletes are already hot and dressed like cheerleaders, and then they bring our real cheerleaders?! Hell yes!
I, of course, will be hoping for U.S.A. gold medals all around. That is, except for one event. One American team full of millionaire thugs, a wife beater, a greedy jerk, and one rapist (that we know of). I’m talking about the USA men’s basketball team. Maybe in this regard I am anti-American, but I simply can’t pull for a team the has the likes of Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Jason Kidd, Carlos Boozer, etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud to see Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, and a couple of other decent guys represent the USA, but the Dream Team gimmick has run it’s course. And I really don’t want to see a piece of crap like Kobe Bryant getting a gold medal. So… we’ll see what happens.
So Here’s hoping for a near USA sweep! And lots of beach volleyball. I hear Brazil might be a team worth watching…
