I'd like to see archery combined with kayaking.  Give the archers a moving target to shoot at!

-I enjoyed the WW II documentary.  Kudos to NBC for having the balls to spend an hour in prime-time on history.  I'm thinking they are going to take a beating on the internets today.

I think most of us are willing to give historically great athletes a lot of leeway on their personal behavior.  But there's only a select few of them per generation (Bolt, Micheal Jordan, Ali).  Cockiness from these guys is accepted, even expected.  Kobe Bryant?  Not so much.
