I'll sell you one.... On that note what did you get for the Euros dude?

It was a framed poster of CR7's dumb ass. I figured you'd use it as a dartboard and it would have cost a fortune to ship so I gave it to my coworker's kid. He's one of those ethnically ambiguous mixed race ten year olds who worship Ronaldo as a condition of existing.

Lol at all of this.

Anyway I'm ten minutes into the ceremony and can already see the, 'Stupid fvkin Europeans' aspect of it.... My wife is telling our kids about their Spanish roots and such right now... Lol

[TheSunIsRising]

and the US wins the first Gold medal of these games

(unfortunately fanning the Guns debate as it is in Shooting; but China ended up winning 2 medals, so WTF is up with China and its guns problem??)

 

[bkess8]

I am convinced Team USA could put together 3 teams for the Olympics and win all the medals!

Olympic dreams can end quickly, and the regret that follows can be difficult to take

The morning after a cauldron is set aflame in a floating cluster of glittering spheres, a sweaty woman stands in a quiet basement.

She wants to cry. She wants to run to her parents. She can’t believe what just happened to her Olympics.

“Everybody hyping this up for an entire year, and you’re done in nine minutes,’’ says Courtney Hurley. “This sucks. This really sucks.’’

Barely moments later, Hurley’s older sister stands in the same basement, her eyes also heavy, her individual Olympics also cooked.

“It all happened in, like, 10 seconds,’’ says Kelley Hurley. “I lost control of the situation so quickly, the moment was so fleeting.”

Women's rugby is the best sport there is.

USA vs. Australia on USA (the channel).

USA vs. Australia on USA (the channel).

Well son of a bitch, I only had NBC and NBC Sports on my favorites. I didn't even think of the other 8 channels things would be on. Thanks.

 

[bkess8]

The guy for USA in fencing is pretty intense! Came back from a huge deficit to win by one!

I watched the USA v Fiji game and it was pretty lackluster but the US v Australia game was dynamite. The US should have won and they certainly outplayed Australia

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Is Simone Biles the best U.S. women's gymnast ever? Good grief, those girls are fun to watch.

Men 4x100m swim relay back on top! Phelps is a boss. Period.

 

[bkess8]

19 gold medals now for Phelps!

I understand the time, dedication, the Olympics, etc., but that made me laugh.

We should hire this woman as special assistant to BVG and director of tackling.

Also, I'm sick and twisted and truly love Olympic fails, but I don't have the heart to post that French gymnast leg break and that female cyclist crash.

The second guy it looked more as tho they practiced at a higher height. I dont watch this at all but those boards sure looked low for all he was trying to do.

Anyone watch the coverage right before Michael Phelps swam in the 200 meter butterfly semi-finals? That was as good as it gets for live TV. Chad le Clos who edged Phelps in London for the upset was doing everything he could to intimidate Phelps before the race. He kept standing in front of him within a few feet, acted like he was boxing, staring at Phelps and doing whatever he could to try and intimidate Phelps. Phelps never acknowledged him. Then proceeded to beat him.

 

[Irish Insanity]

It was odd, but crazy good, live TV. That repeated look on Phelps face was priceless.

I also LOVED Lilly King's comments about the Russian swimmer over the last 2 days then she goes out and beats her for the gold.

The look on the face of the Russian swimmer was pretty good. She looked surprised, bewildered and confused. Nothing better than beating a cheating commie.

 

[Blaise]

It's a good looking commie though
