I feel bad for the people in Brazil. It's bad enough you're known as a murder capital, but now you're a laughingstock to the world. This is demoralizing for a country.

I'd also like to thank NBC for tape delaying everything, so that on the west coast we had to stay up until 12:30 in the morning just to see the freaking torch lit.

The tour de france is in the Olympics.
(the tour of Italy, = tour de france in Italy, tour de Georgia,= same thing, and so on.)
Any bicycling.
If the Tour de France is in Italy, it's probably a lesser, minor league, kind of like having the N.B.A. basketball, in the Olympics.

One of those countries was entering the Opening Ceremonies, San, something, sounded like San Bernadino,

They said they hold the honor of being the oldest still around country in present form, founded in 301,
Can you imagine, no revolutions or whatever, since 301. I want to learn more.

Yep, I really really hate NBC coverage of the olympics, I wish another network would get to do it.


It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

excited for USA basketball tonight

Watching swimming right now


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

Did you see how they let that guy from Spain still swim after a false start? That's the true spirit of an International competition like this.

I have the split screen going with the Olympics and the Tribe!!

Not really on fire, but he does have 8 assists and Aus is beating up on France, who's a favorite to medal.

I'm convinced if Kyrie joined the Australian national team they would be a consistent contender for Silver. Ben Simmons is an Aussie.

Brady Ellison and the rest of Team USA took Silver.

As expected the South Korean men took Gold.

The women shoot tomorrow.

By the way, the South Korean women have taken the Gold every year since they've had women's archery (since 1988)

And they wear funny looking hats while competing to mock the competition.

No, but I saw the cyclists wipe out. They were in the top 3 medal position also and blew it wiping out.

It reminds me of when I was a child and the sports ad "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" and they had that poor skier wiping out.

Mens basketball about to start! USA vs China
It should be a slaughter.

Canada is on it's way up too. Andrew Wiggins and Tristan Thompson didn't play in the qualifying tournament to get into the Olympics.

Saw that too - felt bad for the leaders... I love the Olympics... If work wasn't so crazy I'd take two weeks off to watch it non stop.... Will have to try and figure out a way to get updates or stream some during my breaks at work

The Olympics is only broadcasting swimming and volleyball.
And the U.S.A. only has one gold medal in 10 meter air riffle.

Maybe this has changed. I wish they'd move on from the swimming, they don't even explain how many laps they have, or that this is only a preliminary heat, it's so confusing,

I usually get confused which races are heats and which are for medals. There seem to be SO many swimming races
