With hundreds of hours Olympic coverage to watch over the next two weeks, we figured a drinking game was in order. Of course, we ask that you drink responsibly. There aren’t any Gold Medals for finishing this one first.
Keeping things simple, take a drink each time:
- There is a reference to the Olympics being “China’s coming out party”
- They show special interest story about an athlete
- A commentator tells you what the athlete is thinking
- They run that scary United Airlines commercial
- Each time an athlete screws up, they say “He/She was perfect in practice”
- Each time they pan to George Bush (feel free to do a line of coke as well, *not condoned by DOTW)
- Each time there is a highlight reel, mixed with the Goo Goo Dolls
- A former Olympian/Commentator let’s us know what they would have done differently or reminisces on the old days
- They have a reporter wander around Beijing
- They reference past glory or a new dynasty
- Bob Costas has a guest on the couch
- They show us Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James
- Each time your country wins a Gold Medal
- Commentator says athlete is bringing their “A Game” is going to “Shake Things Up” or “gives 110%”
Feel free to add you own by commenting below. We know there are many others we missed.
