I got tired of watching the 2 1/2 hour women’s marathon they showed the other day.

First, keep in mind that, when it's 7:00 pm here, it's 7:00 am in China. NBC (not unreasonably) prefer to broadcast LIVE sports, and, at that hour, the ladies' marathon was the only game in town.

Second, I for one thought that it was simply straight cool that the Romanian gal stole the race while the others were diddling around in the pack. No guts, no glory -- GUTS? Glory! And good on her!

That is why I tivo everything, then fast forward it. The marathon lasted less than 10 minutes for me.

I don't have to watch the commercials, athlete profiles or crappy events.
