The Edwards frenzy in GD and GDP makes me want to puke.

1. ESPN FNFs.

Or perhaps we could discuss the serious political/social issues of the day on the sports forum.

Can't Skinner open a "DU Inquirer" forum for people who want to gossip?

2. It's all Olympics for me

I can't even get interested in NFL exhibitions when the Olympics arrive. And the PGA seems out of place, playing on the same weekend the Games begin.

I was reading an Olympics article when I noticed the Breaking News about Edwards. No reason to sample the threads. I'm sure the Clarkies are having fun, the handful of them who always monopolized every pro-Edwards thread, shouting he was a phony.

3. I'm gonna get into Saratoga and Del Mar this weekend

maybe look for some betting opportunities. This Edwards affair is just so depressing to me. I was an Edwards guy and switched to Obama when the Edwards message didn't resonate with the voters. I feel bad for his wife and family.

I have a question about the Olympics coverage. Will they be showing any beach volleyball? When?

5. Beach volleyball schedule

Here's the NBC link:

Gotta concede I'm a traditionalist. I prefer indoor 6 man volleyball, albeit not as much as previously. The rally scoring system is idiotic compared to the side out version.
