The Olympics have ended and you already have some serious withdrawal. You’ve watched every event and had a great time cheering on your country. It’s totally unfair that you have to wait another four years for the summer Olympics.
NBC’s round the clock coverage of the 2012 Olympics has yielded hours and hours of video goodness – from hurdler Michelle Jenneke’s hypnotic warm up dance to an pole vaulter’s shattering fall.
We’ll all remember the 2012 London Games for having some of the best moments in Olympic history. How can we forget the star-studded opening with Mr. Bean? Oh, right, there were games too.
Not only did she finish fourth in the 100-meter hurdles, Lolo Jones has been ripped as an Olympic-size poseur by the New York Times, her teammates -- silver medalist Dawn Harper and bronze medalist Kellie Wells -- seem almost happy Lolo didn't medal.
The Olympics have all kinds of corporate sponsors, and even the 150,000 condoms made available to athletes in anticipation of gold medal nookie were supplied by just one company: Durex, which presumably paid a hefty fee for the honors.
So when a bucket of non-sanctioned condoms showed up in the Olympic Village, officials were none too pleased.
Every Wednesday, ABC-7 weekend sports anchor Asher Wildman joins the "Sports Spin" for a little segment called 'winging it with the Wildman.' The Wildman and I usually play golf every Wednesday morning before the show. I got tired of beating him on the links, so I thought we'd switch things up and go to his turf, the racquetball court.
So far, the 2012 London Summer Olympics have had some memorable athletic accomplishments — along with some moments that didn’t really live up to the Olympic standard.
Dallas Cowboys owner and General Manager, Jerry Jones, has been waiting...waiting for his team to return the the playoffs, to the good times, to the "glory hole days". Clearly, Jerry doesn't really know that's not just an old oil man's phrase anymore...which doesn't make it any less hilarious.
