  1. I don't really appreciate that some of these teams appear to be trying to out smoke show the US. This aggression will not stand man!
  2. That's some really moving and inciteful shit right there. I would have never thought that a US national team likes winning and that was their goal. Amazing!!!
  3. Good news, they are going to break "gold" coverage of the Bronze mens game to get back to Break Dancing so you won't miss any important action in that sport. Oh yeah, they broke away from the VB bronze just now and for half the US golf taekwondo match so I could get some Rhythmic Gymnastics and Chinese diving. Fantastic stuff.
  4. Can we add ryhtmic gymnastics to the list along with Autistic Swimming?
  5. I've got it, we will be the 2028 coaches for the Oblivian Female Flag "Football" team. I'm sure the name is going to create some confusion so I'm glad I'll have you there to translate for me. From Urban Park in Santa Cruz de la Cierra I've come up with our team "mascot"
  6. So you're telling me I should move to Oblivion? It looks like a really nice country and I've never been.
  7. One thing I've confirmed throughout these Olympics for certain is the following: If I am unable to manage to align and build a relationship with a US Track and Field female athlete, I'm going to have to move. It saddens me, but clearly from my own personal travel and the Olympic teams I'm going to need to move to South America, most likely Brazil but Argentina and Venezuela aren't out of the question. I'm not eliminating moving back to my family country of Italy, but, cost of living and "opportunity" seems greater in South America. Now they just need to get rid of those asshole dictators down that way.
  8. There are only 1 or 2 on here that I disagree with or didn't see. I'd add Homicide Life of the Street, which has a "movie" coming out soonish I think. Then you can stream that great show. I was re-watching Great American Hero. Holy fuck balls is that first episode WAY stranger than I recall. Twin Peaks... got damn that's an amazing first Episode. Breaking Bad and The Wire are way up there. Never watched Lost and I just couldn't get into GOT (I know I'm a weirdo).
  9. Was trained as a life guard for scouts long ago. Just echoing what others have said here. The recorded video plus the comments from the participant... BIG court case coming. Fuck those "life guards" who did fuck all and the people that put them there.
  10. It's absolutely true that Serbia was nails early from 3 and US couldn't buy a bucket but even Wade called US needed to get in transition. That the Serbian half court D was strong and that contributed as well. (Coaching) Toward the end the team started really pushing the ball down the court, going hard to the rim, and essentially "playing their game" not a set half court offense. And what happened aside from missing a few too many rebounds for my liking? They destroyed. So.. For 3.5 quarters they played half court (Coaching) and were out played. Then finally cut loose and ran the damn court. (Not coaching) US wins. They don't do that in the end, I don't think they win. I do not think Coaching changed strategies late. The players did. (And keeping one of the top 5 players in basketball history on the bench for 2.5 quarters is fucking regarded)
  11. Shit I watch YouTube video on nutty parkour shit, I'd sure as hell watch it in the Olympics. I do not watch Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo videos on YouTube.
  12. Won't lie, it felt like late in the 4th the team particularly LeBron, KD and Curry said fuck this, and ran their game. The results showed it.
  13. It's called Disc Golf, boomer.
  14. Did I miss something, why is KD riding pine still?
  15. Who the fuck chose how to sort that spreadsheet?!?!
  16. GB, USA and Australia are absolutely winning that category of "speed" at the track. The "Spanish speakers" winning elsewhere.
  17. In all I thought Morocco played the best games on average. That's to say, as a team I really thought they were the best. The best doesn't always win a tournament though because you have to best on "that" day vs "that" team and they weren't.
  18. 1) Your brother likely fucked an ex of mine. He can have that psychopath. 2) Eddie Lawson FTW, we won't start that entire debate here to save us both from getting negged to Bolivia 3) Agreed on the bigger points. 4) The End. 😉
  19. I have absolutely zero interest in the sport, but damn me if I don't watch it. It's not Austistic or Spectrum Rimming yo!
  20. Okay, and if that's your passion great. I just watch a pace motorcycle and a couple of more laps. You bring up a very massive difference between track riding on a motorcycle (GP or dirt oval style) and this Vélodrome. That wall and the track mean the riders don't have to do 5 things. 1) Entry speed 2) Corner entrance 3) Apex 4) Exit point 5) Exit speed When on a GP style track you're planning your line for the next corner entry, your breaking point, your corner entry speed, gearing for the best line to hit the apex and exit at the maximum speed. You also have gear selection and lean, setting weight, figuring out how to be ready to power AT the Apex through the exit and what exit/apex allow for the earliest point for entry. If you're breaking at any point in the corner, you did it wrong, if you're looking at exit point at apex, you're WAY behind. At apex you should already be set for exit, and looking to set line for the next corner. I type all this shit out to make the point, in circle bike track, non of that happens. Zero. I'm not dismissing the athletes, your interest in it, nor your enjoyment. I'm saying as spectator, on TV like many other vehicle racing sports it's boring. I think MotoGP and F1/GP is okay on TV, but in person, different world. For me personally, relative to a track day on a motorcycle or distance ride on a bicycle I'd much prefer both over going in a circle. Maybe I would enjoy Vélodrome riding, but I'm absolutely certain I'd never choose it over a day at the track on a motorcycle. Notice I haven't mentioned NASCAR? Because I don't love it either. No right or wrong just opinions and bikes going in a circle is boring as shit to me, but hell, I like watching surfing so what the fuck do I know.
