Here's a fun game when Olympic coverage starts to drag - try to find an American athlete who is sporting a visible Nike logo who is not also wearing a yellow Live Strong bracelet. They're out there, but rare.

Unfortunate trend recently noticed: "Born in the USA" being played when an American wins a gold. Heard this tonight in both beach volleyball and track. I fear the first time an Asian competitor is bested and has to hear the line about going to kill the yellow man.

It's been NAFTA night on NBC, as they've given some more in-depth coverage to Canadian diver Alexandre Despatie and Mexican sprinter Ana Guevara. Neither won gold, the ingrates. Dick Ebersol is firing off angry telegrams to their embassies as we speak.
