Gold Medal DJ'ing

For me, the greatest sport to watch in the Olympics is beach volleyball.  I'll watch men's if it's on, but this is one sport that really seems better suited for women.  Or maybe just Misty May-Treanor and Kerry Walsh are better than the men's teams, but their matches are just more exciting to watch.

Anyhow, the greatest thing I've noticed in these games is the DJ.  After each score, someone, somewhere in the stadium is blasting the cheesiest rock songs!  It's like a strip club out there - seriously, as I'm typing this, Japan scored on the USA men's team and "Who Let The Dogs Out" started playing.  

Who is this DJ?  Is there an Olympic trial for beach volleyball DJ's?  Is it this "dream team" collection of people like Samantha Ronson, DJ AM, Rosanna Arquette, and whoever else competing against the best and brightest around the world for this coveted spot?  

Because if so, they chose HORRIBLY.  They went from "Hang On Sloopy" to that Cab Calloway "Hi-De-Ho" song to "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi.

That Didn't Come Out Right

Listening to Doug Collins call game 2 of the Lakers-Jazz series. I know these guys are just talking off the top of their heads, but as Derek Fisher hits a big 3 pointer, Doug Collins says "Derek Fisher! Wow, how much fun would it be to play on a team with that guy? He is just all about winning!"

Uh...yeah, that doesn't sound like too much fun.
