Naysayers

We know there are a lot of folks out there who got negative opinions of the Olympics. People got to harp on the US and our foreign policy, the oppressive childhoods of Olympic hopefuls and the hundreds of wasted hours spent under the tyrannical tutelage of overbearing coaches and parents (cuz they watch too many movies). They tout steroid scandals and pollution.

What we at CFW want to put out to these critics is, "When was the last time you were the best in the world at something?"

When was the last time you woke up in the morning and thought, "Damn, not only am I pretty f*&kn good, I might just be the best there is, maybe ever, at this one thing."

How high can you jump? How fast can you run? How straight can you shoot an arrow, and moreover, how consistently can you do it?

It's the olympics,people. Meaning that the best in the world all converge on one spot (this year the hilariously public-image conscience China)to do battle with skills that put us mere mortals to shame.

Need a reminder?
Let's review:
1) Jessie Owens
2) Kerri Strug
3) Greg Luganious

Here at CFW, we ain't the best in the world at nothing, but we sure as shit wish we were and in 49 days, when the best in the world converge on Beijing, China, we're gonna be watching with the appropriate amount of sheer awe.

Get with the program.
