The Olympics: More or Less of a Time Suck than March Madness?

Hmm...I'm going to have to say "less". One one hand, I did watch the opening ceremonies on Friday (there were people in the boxes!!), women's beach volleyball and men's swimming yesterday (yay, Michael Phelps!), and women's gymnastics is on as I type this. On the other hand, I never skipped class in college to watch the Olympics, and I did that pretty much every year for the NCAA tourney.

How about you? Will you experience a notable decrease in productivity over the next two weeks as you spend all your free time watching the various events? Or are you bored of the Olympics already?

Word around town (i.e. Ann Arbor) is that Phelps is quite the playboy, and not too fond of the masses attempting to speak to him when he is out and about.
