[2008olympics]

Hi all, besides eagerly awaiting next years olympics, I'm also an Anaheim Angels fan (boo hoo, how embarrassing to be blown out in three straight).

That's Okay because in football I've been a Colts fan from when they were still in Baltimore.

And since I'm in the Los Angeles area, being a Laker fan is a natural and wish the Kobe and Shaq days never ended.

Glad to be here!

I am not a big olympic guy but what do you think about Marion Jones?

I'm just glad she came forward with the truth, finally. Her apology sounded sincere to me. I'm not happy, though, that it took several years of denial to get to this point. I think as more and more athletes keep coming forward about steroid use, this will force the different sports leagues to address it in a more aggressive manner.

Welcome aboard, 2k8... so what events are you most looking forward to? Which athletes give us the best chance for gold?

Should the rest of the relay team have to give back the medals?

Boy, oh, boy... I'm very interested to hear what our new member has to say about this. For what it's worth, unfair as it is, I think they have to. If a member of a team cheats, then the team as a whole cheats. Same deal with USC and Reggie Bush - if it turns out he was cheating, then they may need to forfeit a National Championship.
