OT - London Olympics thread

[Nasty_Magician]

this is interesting

I tend to hate these types of stats though. If Jamaica had as many sports as the US they would have less medals. Countries that can focus all of their top athletes on 1 sport compared to the USA where you're getting 4th/5th tier athletes isn't a fair comparison.

2 borrow a couple of seinfeld-isms

1)Hope Solo has no grace
2)Hope Solo has a "two-face"


/first time anyone has scored 3 in a game versus Ms Midol?

see my seinfeld two face comment

sometimes ... very very good ... others ... what happened to her face?

I agree.

If Jamaica had the money to spend on training like the US does they'd have more sports.

Or they would throw pads on, try to catch a football and play corner back in the NFL.

I'd pay good money to see Usain Bolt returning kick offs.

That would be amazing. Have to believe his field vision isn't the greatest though.

Bolt eviscerated carl lewis in post race press conference ... That was enjoyable

/lord help him if he ever tests positive

//cant wait for the new espn 30 for 30 titled "9.79" on the 1988 100 metre final

Wonder how they will paint lewis considering every runner in that gold medal race ended up being on roids

ill drop it here since i brought it up

So would I. It would be interesting seeing what the worlds fastest man looks like getting drilled by a 230 lb dude getting paid to take his head off. Finish lines don't hit that hard.

I would think it would be better than you would think. The guy is moving pretty damned fast and he has to be able to see well enough to stay in his lines and is known for looking around while running full speed to see if he has enough of a lead to let off the gas.

Awesome...

I'd gladly give Hope Solo something to aid her in being quiet.
