Today in Athens the U.S. basketball team plays Spain and Lithuania plays China. We are all rooting for Lithuania, because the U.S. needs a big taste of humble pie. Maybe the NBA will wake up and smell the fact the the world has caught up the U.S. team in terms of talent and has beaten them in terms of heart. The U.S./Spain game has just started and I'm stuck here at work. The editor and one of the staff writers have left to go watch the game in a bar around the corner. The Lithuanian game is right after the U.S. game, so I'm going to have to figure out a way to get out of work to go watch the game with them. As you can tell, I have lost all motivation to sell of for the newspaper. Anyway, I hope everyone's having fun.
