Summer Olympics 2016: Rio

The gear they wear looks absurd.

 

That was bad.

 

I get the impression they are trying to look as nonmilitary as possible. Going super-dork.

 

Those loads of rubber suit look stupid.

 

That Hungarian swimmer looks like she has a bit of East German in her.

 

Night of silver for the Americans in the pool.

 

That final descent in the bicycle road race was diabolical. I lost count of how many crashed out. Really was a bummer for that Polish rider, led right up to the last mile.

 

Some good descenders bit it there too.

 

Nothing gets me fired up for pro football like Carrie Underwood under a spotlight chanting "Sunday night". Who comes up with this stuff?

 

NBC redid the SNF song this year so I'm sure it has something to do with that. Once or twice was OK. Now, it's already old.

 

Those gold medal winners had some absolutely ridiculous times.

 

Dumbasses

 

An American loses the gold medal in the last 100m of a road race.

 

Phelps is a demon. He won that relay for the USA.

 

Yep, he put them over a second ahead in his leg.

 

Watched the French gymnast snap his leg. Immediately regretted that.

 

Me too. I tried to avoid it and saw on some feed.

 

I'd like to try this Brazilian grilled cheese.

 

I'd like to get into some Brazilian buns, a Taco too.

 

He absolutely smoked it on that turn. Frenchie popped up too soon and Phelps just kept motoring.

Adrian closed in a 46.9 split too though. Phelps was 47.1 again.
