WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by The Franko Blog!
We will talk about everything from the news of the day, to random thoughts.  This is not a one-way conversation…I invite you to give me your thoughts on things I blog about, and things I don’t.  No topic is off limits!

BTW…disagreement is part of the game. But, please keep it clean. This is an all ages show!

Beijing games off to incredible start

I will keep this short…I’m actually watching tennis online at the Olympic Zone on our website.

First of all..the opening ceremony was incredible.  More people watched it than any other Olympics in history.  Did you see those crazy cubes?  I thought those were operated by hydraulics for sure…nope…humans!!

And my new favorite sport is Synchronized Diving…that stuff is CRAZY!!  Two people jumping off diving boards at the same time…looking like mirror images!

BTW…Michael Phelps is sick as the kids say.  He grabbed his second of a possible eight gold medals this morning.

Watch this...it could be one of the best finishes in olympic swimming history.

The Beijing Olympics will be hard to beat. Everything about the opening ceremonies was truly great whether real or not. Too bad I missed the airing of the closing ceremonies. I’m sure it was awesome too.

I was awed by the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. It was really awesome. Although there were many talks about what is live and computerized during the opening, I still think that it was great.

Sweet…a speedo and workboots.  Now that’s a good look!

Did anyone tell you that rules require synchronized place kicking has to be done in a speedo?

Me too!  I will need to get the leg back in shape though…I feel like if I tried to kick a ball today…my hip would shatter!

@BradFranko I think there is a 5,000 dollar (max of 50k) for every question unanswered. I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere.

Don't 4get bugs! RT @BradFranko: Spring still a few days out, but the temps are above 50...cue the green, dusty pollen in Charleston. #CHS

@BradFranko thanks for explaining. Whether we agree or not with the reason, it's nice to understand why the decision was made.
