Daily Craig: Tape your ankles

HOUSTON – THE OLYMPICS of Summer are here. I am taking an advanced class in Geometry in order to get through the various TV schedules.

First of all,  CH 2 has the main action and the other 32 channels owned by NBC get some of stuff we might miss if we have to do something stupid like go to work. Online stuff may surpass the CBS FINAL FOUR BRACKET WARS, especially if team handball or archery is your thing. I, LIKE I HAVE DONE IN YEARS PAST, will continue to give basketball scores in centigrade. It will make the U.S. BASKETBALL SCORES look decent. As in years past, there is plenty of anger to go around. Poles are still not liking Pole Vaulting. They especially don't like the Germans involved in that field event.

THE HOME OFFICE is concerned many won't know inside terms of weightlifting. School kids have snickered at some of the moves (you know the ones I mean) but there are others in this discipline. THRUSTER, DOWNWARD DOG, INVERTED PIGEON come to mind. A BUTT SHAFT is part of an arrow, but will still make a 5th grader laugh out loud. WOMEN'S SOCCER began yesterday and in case you're wondering about the U.S. Men's chances, don't.  Our under 23 team didn't qualify. Our women are very good. Later today Iraq plays Denmark in the men's opener. I like the Danes. You knew I would say that.

Good luck to all and I mean those of us watching. It gives us something to do besides wonder who will be the backup right guard for the Texans or the latest Astro to make the move from Corpus.
