13th Day Unlucky for Legends
Boo hoo Fidel - 13 is a bad day for Cuba. Not only was the Baseball team tamed, 4 or 5 of their boxers were eliminated in the quarterfinals. I think Cuba's one bright spot of the day was in the 110 meter hurdles where they won Gold. Marlowe the poet - Chris Marlowe that is - at Volleyball "Nurmeidor putting it in the humidor for the Dutch" Money talks - To get some of their veterans to return one more time, the Cuban Baseball team salaries were doubled to $40/month. Great moment in Jim Lampley - (on baseball) TommyBall rules the day in Sydney Jimbo again - The summer has returned to SummerTime as the sun has come out. Summer Sanders' retort - Today's story is not about the Sun but about Venus. Bud Collins - Venus with the Vesuvian hairstyle is exploding for the Gold Medal Channel surfing - ESPN - The Mets celebrating with champagne because they clinched the Wild Card or a rare win over the Braves? Vince McMahon sr would be proud - NBC ran a short build up to the Greco Roman finale that would have fit old-style pro wrestling -David vs Goliath , babyface vs heel, American farmboy vs Big Bad Siberian. It would have been out of place in today's 'rasslin where you hype who's bad and who's badder spearheaded by Vince McMahon jr. All is right in the world - Ken Burns' Baseball documentary started each episode with "The Star Spangled Banner" How fitting that Olympic Baseball ended with the same. -------------------------------- Jay Leno interlude It was really cloudy in LA today. Cloudier than a Chinese urine sample. The Bulgarians were using the Olympic Flame as a giant crack pipe. What's with these huge athletes taking growth hormones? We should be giving them to Bob Costas. (Killing two birds with one stone) A new event for the Salt Lake City Olympics will be peeing in a cup. It will be for distance and speed. The USA Baseball team won the Gold Medal and when they lifted Tommy Lasorda up during the celebration, they won the Gold Medal in weightlifting. Anna Nichole Smith won her judgement and inheritance from her late husbands estate. She said if she knew it would take this long, she wold have let him die of natural causes. The Lincoln Bedroom at the White House has become the National Bed & Breakfast. For a "small donation" you can stay there too. Chevy Chase and Danny DeVito have stayed there. Abe is thinking "Actors! First they shoot me and now they're sleeping in my bed!" A man was arrested for smuggling a dozen lizards in his underpants. Officials were suspicious when they saw a big bulge in the front of his pants. Officials are always suspicious every time I fly -------------------------------------- Letterman My mom was arrested for scalping Streisand tickets. New Yorkers are in the Streisand mood. My cabdriver, an Iraqi, was listening to the soundtrack of Yentl. Look at the beach activities becoming Olympic sports. First there was beach voleyball, now there is trying to find coins with a metal detector. Clinton got a perfect score for his dismount off an intern. ------------------------------------ Bob Costas put on glasses similar to Ahmad Rashad's Ahmad: "Ahmad and mini-Ahmad" Bob: When I wear these it is hard to tell us apart."
