Non-news from the United States Olympic Committee
I love it when there's this big presentation and press release about the fantastic super-exciting news that the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) is going to bid on the Olympics 10-15 years from now.
Wow. Really? That is just so not going to impact my life today.
First of all, the Olympics are mostly a bunch of boring hype highlighted only by the Jim McKay puppet ABC trots out. I mean, he is remarkably lifelike. Secondly, the USOC bids on pretty much every Olympic games. So this is non-news. Finally, this is for 2016. There will be two more World Cups, nine more World Series, and 10 more Super Bowls between now and then. My four year-old will probably be starting high school.
But hey, the staff of the USOC has gotta eat, right?
