I'm dangerously close to getting two days behind here so I'm going to give you the abbreviated version of day 5. I don't care much for this issue anyway. The griping and bitching by the writers is in full force as after 3 days of events they give a report card on the games and there's bitching a-plenty about the crowds and transportation to the events. Yeah, sorry we didn't have that Teleporter ready for the games. Even more annoying is the snide comments on Ambiance - "No one ever accused Atlanta of being beautiful" and Hospitality - "Y'all sure are friendly!". Hey SI: FuuuuuuUUUUUUUUuuuucccccckkkkk YoooooOOOOOOUUUuuuuu. They
did give us an A for security so that shows you how much they know. There's just a lot of general negativity in the issue. There's a hand wringing expose' on rampant scalping of tickets. There's
four pages dedicated to whining about souvenir pins.
Pins for gawd's sake. There's also a bizarre swipe at Charles Barkley. The AJC has a feature called
The Vent where readers and leave snarky quotes and quips on current events. Barkley apparently got quoted and said "The rooms are tight... especially with all the stuff they give us along the way". They didn't print the full quote so there's no context, but to me it looks like Charles is using the word tight in a slang fashion meaning "cool" or "really nice". SI interpreted it as Charles complaining that the rooms were too small to get his fat butt into. Nice. So either SI was completely out of touch or they had a hatchet job agenda on the games.
There's a lot of swimming in the magazine, including a pic of Amanda Beard, the gold-winning women's relay team and a fluff piece on a couple of male swimmers horsing around the Olympic village. That's a fun one, we get to see Eric Wunderlich having his back shaved. Yahoo. They also sign a volunteer's stomach and play a game of tic-tac-toe while they're at it. There's no baseball or softball coverage at all despite the men beating Korea 7 to 2 and the women blanking blanking the Netherlands 9 to zip. USA leads the medal count with 15 and Russia has 7 golds.
