Mary Carillo - The Williams Sisters sometimes play like the Marx Brothers

Mary again on the Williams Sisters - These two get better hourly.

Soundalikes - the beginning of the Norwegian National Anthem and Deck the Halls

Marv and Teddy listening in on the Azerbaijiani corner-
Marv: He's saying we will be on the 9:00 plane back to Azerbaijian tomorrow if you don't start punching.
Teddy: He's actually saying, I'll be on the plane, you will be walking.

Costas quip- The beauty of the Olympics is that the winner of Rhythmic Gymnastics gets the same gold medal as the winner of the Decathlon.

Costas quip- Andres Cantor is a god.

Channel surfing - WGN -One last look at Wrigley Field this season

Neat commercial - Acura out in the mountainous country. But what made it special to me was the use of "Apache" made famous eons ago by Jorgen Ingmann.

GM Moments - Profiled the bond between Australia and East Timor. Destructive and bloody revolution now going on there. They have sent 4 athletes to the Olympics. The boxer and his wife hid in the jungle for months to escape Indonesian Death Squads.

Lookalikes - Russia's Womens Volleyball Coach Nicolai Karpol and Bobby Knight. Actually they don't look all that much alike but both scream a lot.

Tom Hammond on Michael Johnson's 200 meter predictions - Just don't go to the (horse)racetrack with him.

USA's Marla Runyan (1500 m runner) on her visual impairment - "...my vision is normal, everyone else has really good vision."

USA's Suzy Favor Hamilton's edge - She just needs to pretend the slasher from her controversial Nike commercial is still chasing her in the 1500 meter run.

American Lingo - Don't Bonk. (don't ask me what that means)

Costas quip - (returning from commercial) I love being played back on with a fanfare.

Costas quip - Konstantinos Kenteris winner of the 200 meter run is the first Greek man to win an Olympic sprint in two millenia. From what we can tell, Dionysius of Alexandria won a sprint in 269 A.D.

Freemania undiminished - Despite her 7th place finish in the 200 meter run, Cathy Freeman remains THE Person of the Games. She has handled the adulation and pressures of a nation with graciousness, humor, and dignity. She has become Our Cathy to the world.

Dwight Stones trinket - On Decathlon winner Erki Nool's (Estonia) controversial discus throw, "He should have gotten 0 points and be running this (1500 meters - final event) because he's a nice guy."

Costas slip - after airing Jim Gray's interview with Decathlon Bronze Medalist Chris Huffins (USA) - Lets go now to Jim Gray who is standing by with Chris Huffins... - Bob caught himself in the dejå vu moment

Costas quip- On the late show, Andres Cantor will be our guest. We will see if he can answer a question without taking a single breath.

David Letterman: Have you been watching Tae Kwon Do? I prefer Thai Sizzled Shrimp.

My mom and I were watching the Olympics together. I've been spending a lot of time with my mom. She gets confused sometimes. While we were watching Rowing, she asked, which one is Rudy?

Congratuations to the Womens Soccer team. Even though you finished 2nd we're still proud of you. And a Silver medal is still a good enough reason to take your shirts off.

Conan O' Brien: I've been asked to extinguish the Olympic Flame. I'll be in a fireproof shit and they'll lower my ass into the fire until it goes out.
