Dear Bela Karolyi,
Thank you for being my absolute favorite part of the Olympics this year. I mean, yeah, there have been a lot of cool things about the Olympics this year- the whole Michael Phelps thing was pretty cool, everybody has been wearing that cool tape that makes their body look like a mysterious alien landing field, Amanda Beard didn’t make the finals in any of her events (I know, I’m going to hell), Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson rocked it out in the women’s all around, and I find Usain Bolt to be endlessly entertaining, even if he does seem to be a little full of himself.
But Bela, really, none of that compares to the glory that is your gymnastics commentary. While most sports commentators put me to sleep with their even-keeled sense of self control, as soon as you pop up on the screen next to Bob Costas, I’m all ears. Your undeniable passion for the sport, your willingness to openly criticize any judge or rulemaker you dsiagree with, your slight case of logorrhoea and the fact that you always look like you are about to cry or just finished doing so have officially made you my favorite person in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Somebody give this man a talk show.

Update:
This video will actually embed. It’s juvenile, but entertaining. And I actually remember watching this video in Mr. Jundanian’s AP Bio class:

Who knew your blog would teach me new vocabulary (i.e. logorrhoea)? Another reason why your blog is awesome!

I hate bela corrrwoeiriusdhjk… He is an ass who made all of his gymnasts stunted for life, overachievers who I hate. He was a dick. — but it was funny to watch him. Too bad he didn’t show that kind of enthusiasm for the gymnasts he actually coached. bygones.
