For our wonderful mayor, nothing is impossible.

Birmingham, Alabama, mayor wants Olympics in 2020- al.com

Langford is putting together a committee to make a bid to bring the Olympic Games to the Magic City. "Why not Birmingham? - that's my question," Langford said Friday. "You don't know what you can do till you try it."

I can't wait for the new events:

Best impersonation of the Bear

Firehose and dog endurance run

Best conspiracy theory against the Tide

Father/daughter marriage-a-thon

Feel free to add your own...

You have to assume that the entire opening ceremonies would be built around people wearing houndstooth hats. Maybe a giant 30-foot-high one rotating around in the center of the field, while Ken Stabler does doughnuts around it in his pickup truck, waving a whiskey bottle out the window and honking his horn.

But this guy's wasting his time, I'm afraid. After the debacle that the Olympics were here, expect it to be a long time until they come back to the American south. Unfortunately.

I heard this on Rick & Bubba today. Some funny stuff.

He is trying to get a new dome built but that's not going to get the Olympics to come here.

The dome is dead but the equestrian park and swimming center just west of Legion field was approved...I'm friggin' serious. Everyone knows that downtown Birmingham is famous for its equestrian history :ermm:

This guy has more looney ideas than anyone could ever imagine.

I think they should allow teams of sharks into the water polo event, I would probably double my Olympic viewing time.

just imagine all the abuses of eminent domain the city fathers of B'ham can engage in if the city were to actually get a summer Olympiad. It'd make a developer trying to steal people's homes to put up a Wal Mart seem like a jaywalking offense in Mayberry.

Olympic torch to be lit with a cigarette.

Red Man to be the official breath mint of the games.

There has to be some sort of tooth count event.

I'm not sure yet of the format, but if you can prove your Alabamian and have graduated to the permanent tooth stage, then you can enter. Those with a full set of chromosomes and houndstooth hat with receipt date proving it was purchased within 1 year of their birth, can enter. Otherwise you'd have inbred anomalies that could have lost 48 teeth and still have 17 left and what Alabamian hasn't had a houndstooth hat proudly on display within his or her first year?

you could have some of the running events at Talladega. Perhaps even allow some of the local rednecks to throw beercans at the runners and let them score coupons for discounts at Big Lots.
