PAGING DALEY THOMPSON: With the Games of the XXX Olympiad set to open next Friday night, I am interested as always in promoting the best guest commentary out there (Our Beijing coverage is mostly here and here.) If there's an athletic discipline in for which you have particular insight and feel like contributing, let me know.
In the meantime, I plan to cover my normal topics -- the joys of pageantry, my problems with the International Olympic Committee and [insert local tyrannical regime here], the Israeli women's rhythmic gymnastics squad, speculation over the final torch bearer, the biennial article about Olympic Village hookups, and, of course, whether Michael Phelps should extend his celebrity with his post-Olympics film debut in Swimkata.
