 rjonas, Tue, August 26th, 2008 Everyone has their likes and dislikes, and until now I've never aired my list. Well, I've got a blog where I can say whatever I want (within reason), so what better place to show you my list than right here in Sports Scraps. Like: The Olympics Dislike: The cost of staging the Olympics (China spent $40 billion; London is spending $19 billion) Like: The "Redeem Team" Dislike: The fact that we needed a "redeem team" Like: Michael Phelps winning eight gold medals Dislike: How technological advances in swimsuit and pool construction lead to world records being shattered every other race Like: Beach volleyball and BMX racing as Olympic sports Dislike: Rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline and badminton as Olympic sports Like: Baseball pennant races Dislike: Scoreboard watching (hey Dodgers, would it kill you to beat the Phillies once in a four-game series?) Like: Tampa Bay Rays leading American League East Really like: New York Yankees mired in third place in AL East Dislike: Disparity in AL West (did everyone give up on challenging the Angels this year?) Like: One week to go until the start of the NFL season Dislike: One more weekend of preseason football Like: Indianapolis and New Orleans to play in Super Bowl XLIII Dislike: The fact that New England could spoil that prediction Like: Sunday Night Football Dislike: Thursday Night Football Like: High school sports season is about to start Dislike: The prospect of covering outdoor sporting events in the rain (hopefully, that won't happen) Like: That this blog entry is done CATEGORY: General Sports
