I will give the two girls on the left the same advice I gave the Aussie swimmers.

Run, don't walk, home. Use that medal fast, get yourself a man. Do not wait even one year. With those shoulders and upper back muscles, it ain't gonna get any easier for you when you get deep into the 20s.

"After the Rio Olympics, NASCAR is on NBC. You're welcome."
- Some greasy redneck.


Some other key point from those commercials:
These winners get the podium to themselves.
There are just as many flags in the infield as there are at the opening ceremony, but all are the stars and stripes.

Yes, way to shit on the Olympic spirit by promoting American selfishness. :thumb:


Watched fencing last night. That shit was fascinating.

Pretty good ... Background ... A reporter called marta the female version of neymar and she was offended by it before their first game

Fans chanting "Ahhhh Marta is better than Neymarrr! / Ahhhh Marta melhor que Neymaaarrr!"

I've always enjoyed the Olympics but some of the sports are a bit out there; I mean fencing? What's up with that?

Horrific crash by a dutch woman in the road race. Downhill around a curve. Over the handlebars and landed on her head. Prayers

Ugh. Wish I hadn't watched that.

There's probably no way that's gonna end well for her.

Dan Patrick just cited a Dutch TV report that she is "OK".

She must be made of Carbon Fiber.



I rode in a charity ride yesterday and watched a woman hit a pothole when taking a drink, traveling maybe 14mph. She wobbled, went off the road and face planted in some grass. Paramedics though she broke a rib, probably separated her shoulder and was really, really woozy.

This woman was going close to 50 and hit a curb.

Miss out on bronze by less than a point over five dives - That's a kick to the junk.

Canada takes set 1 25-23. I would think this would be a pretty big upset if they could pull it off no?
