Maybe, but isn't usually a famous, non sports person isn't it, or at least former. I forgot about Muhammad Ali.

Yao's been a very public figure associated with this Olympics, though, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Am I the only one who finds the opening ceremony a complete bore?

They can be. I love seeing the different countries, but don't care for all the dancing and stuff.

So excited! I watch very little of the US coverage since it's so edited and broken up. Luckily I get CBC (Canada!) which shows events much better and in full!

Did anyone else hear that this is the last year for Mens baseball and Women's softball? Is this not new news? I've been fairly out of the loop for a bit.

That's really dumb . . . how can you not have baseball and softball? For some countries, football/soccer and baseball/softball are everything!

It's not really news at all. It hasn't been popular world wide, really, and that's the issue. I think they can make a comeback, but it's going to take Major League Baseball and the world's best softball players putting together successful world-wide tournaments and regional tournaments outside of the Olympics, and drumming up interest.

Personally, I'd rather see Golf get a shot in the Olympics that keep trotting out the same 10 nations in baseball, two of which might come from not the Americas.

I'd like to see a change in how they do Tennis at the Olympics. I think they should do a mini davis cup type of thing as opposed to a tournament.
