Closing ceremonies. Olympians used to be amateurs. Now they spend more time training (not at their expense) than NFL players do. There is big money behind all this even though the athletes don't get "Paid". I'll be glad when the Olympics are over and I can watch my regular programming again.

There's talk this year of not including the equestrian disciplines anymore in the Olympics because they don't draw big spectator numbers for the TV stations, but heck...they don't show them! How are they supposed to know whether we'd watch or not?
