Olympic Thought of the Moment #2

"Sudden Death" is the worst example of false advertising. I'm still waiting to see an athlete lose a game and then immediately lose their life. It never seems to happen. Disappointment ensues as breathing continues. I keep thinking that as soon as the opposing team scores, the losers will suddenly get mamed by a pride of lions. ("Aargh! a lion!!") Or the field beneath them will open up as they fall into the depths of the scorpion pit. ("Aargh! a scorpion!!") Or the hand of god will come swooping from the heavens and crush the players like a flyswatter. ("Aargh! the hand of god!!") And yes, I believe in Old Testament god. What ever happened to a good ol' smiting?
