Anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies???

Is anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies? So far, I've seen a quite eclectic selection.

I think so far, the highlight has been when Eric Idle, one of the Pythons, came out and sang "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".

Ceremonies in general suck.

I say this all the time and people seem puzzled by it. It's pretty straightforward AFAIC.

Not to worry about the Red Sox, they stomped on what was left of the Indians today. As for me, I will try to catch the ceremony at 8pm, hopefully NBC won’t screw that up too.

I wonder how Bob Costas and Al Michaels feel about sharing space with Ryan Seacrest?

Yeah, that’s from a famous British comedy series called Only Fools and Horses.......it is actually very funny.

On the whole, this closing ceremony has been utter crap.

Yeah. Snicker, now the Stank Sox are higher up in last place

A little hint. Bobby Valentine is a double agent. Nuff said

" closing ceremony has been utter crap"

Worse then the opening? I thought that was a PC piece of garbage. Reminds me of South Parks version of a non-offensive Christmas play

Overall, it wasn’t too bad, it got better towards the end, IMHO.

Though I dread why they always have to include that Ode to Communism, “Imagine” into the ceremonies.

watching the closing?.. No.. just looking thru pics now.. and watching the Men's Marathon..

The IOC had time for this tho.. but not for the victims of Munich 1972..

Is London's 2012 Games just so much Munich 1936's with the manufactured hype and shocking behavior, from twittering to doping..

Does history repeat itself? Will Rio happen? We still got Sochi in 2014.

Party On!
