TUESDAY THOUGHTS

• I make a bigger splash sipping water than Chinese divers do off a 3-meter springboard.

• Should it be an Olympic sport (trampoline) when my 7-year old daughter could win gold going away?

• All the days and months and years and sweat and tears and highs and lows … and with her gold medal nearly hanging around her neck, Lolo Jones crashes over the next-to-last hurdle and finishes seventh. Oh, where have you gone Gail Devers?

• For those keeping track at home, the nearest MPC restroom has two attendants working right now, and one of the kids is cleaning mirrors with a squeegee.

• Biggest lock for a U.S. team gold this week? Nope, not Team USA. … Softball, by a Jennie Finch rise-ball.
