OT - 2016 Brazil Olympic thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Watching Brazil's soccer team fail miserably to beat either Iraq or South Africa has been nice.

First one I remember was Ben Johnson taking stanolozol (or something, too lazy to look it up). I dont recall any of the East German "women" ever getting caught with anything. Besides a thicker moustache than I have.

I think I heard on radio that it was in archery or pistol? Don't know the name, but they drank a beer to calm their nerves.

I checked in on the women's volleyball on Saturday night to see if anything enticing was on display and the one American chick had a lot of stubble.

Pretty sure that'll be my non-soccer Olympic viewing for the summer, and the doping people might wanna test that lady(?).

As I crossed Georgia Strait on the 5:15 ferry to Tsawassen this morning, I was watching some water polo action between Greece and Serbia (game ended in a 9-9 tie). A guy came up to me and asked, "What is that, water soccer?"

/I had to fight back the laughter.

Swimming Handball.

Speaking of handball, man that's a thrilling sport to watch. It doesn't get much air time on tv, but there's plenty of streams to catch the action.

We actually played handball in grade school gym class. Never have seen it anywhere else in North America. It is a lot of fun.
