Who saw Oprah's season premiere??? I just finished watching it, and it was nice to see the Olympians all together. Yes, I'm lame and I still miss the Olympics cause for huge sports fans like me...it's is absolutely one of the best times of the year!! I would say it's a National Holiday in my book. Is that a little lame?? Maybe. But I can't help it, I love me my Olympics. The only thing that kind of sucked about the show was the interviews weren't long (understandable) and she only introduced the Women's Soccer Team and Women's Basketball Team. I was hoping she'd give a little interview with them. She only spoke to Jennie Finch for like 30 seconds hahah and that's it. It was fairly lame. Oh well, still I loved it because Michael Phelps was there. Although his shoes...just weren't working. I should say "loafers." Now he is the only guy that I think can pull off the Speedo...so you would think that a guy would could pull off a Speedo...could pull of Loafers right?? haha. Still...he's the cutest guy ever :) Anyways, it was still a nice little show. I wished it could've been longer, and ya...I wish I was there. But hey...there are always other ways to make your dreams come true (mine being to meet like half of the athletes there!!)
*Jennie Finch, Jessica Mendoza, and the USWNT Blog blogged about the Oprah Show...I'd check it out...it gives a little extra insight :)

Moving on...did anyone catch UFC 88??? It wasn't the best of fights...poor Chuck got knocked out by Rashad Evans...and I have to give it to him, cause he timed/aimed that punch perfectly. Chuck was down for what seemed to be forever. I kept thinking (jokingly), "He killed the Ice Man!" Chuck was definitely put to sleep, but thank goodness he was able to get up and walk. Cause my oh my...what a wait! The other fights weren't too great. I felt Matt Hammil (sp?) didn't want to hurt Rich Franklin...even though he did get a good gash under Rich's eyebrow. I won't explain too much detail, cause I could barely look at that thing! Dan Henderson's fight was alright...and well..that was about it. I probably won't get UFC 89...but I'm definitely looking forward to the Couture/Lesnar fight and the Silva/Cote fight...although I think Patrick will get BEAT! haha.
So until next time folks that's all I have for you! I'm off to study to become Michael Phelps' Athletic Trainer (hey I can dream can't I?)
