  1. Me too. Hell, I’d expect them to tell Bellichek to fuck off too.
  2. Seems like the Athens games sent that country into an economic tailspin that they can’t recover from. Skateboarding and BMX feel like an attempt to target a younger demo that appear to be losing interest in the games (my 16 yo has zero interest) which is fine. There’s a lot of sports that have been in the games for a long time that don’t feel like they belong.
  3. I still love the olympics too. Have it on every night. Usually fall asleep watching the late events after 11pm even though they’re usually reruns.
  4. I agree with this right here. I think the time difference sucks because you know the results before they broadcast. There’s very little star power in these olympics even before Biles withdrew. In the past, NBC was good about showing the Americans who won medals and you’d see the final round of whatever competition they were in whether it be shooting, fencing or judo or whatever. Now they just gloss over that stuff and instead show nothing but almost meaningless heats in swimming and track and field during prime time with maybe one or two actual events for medals. I think their whole production this year has been absolutely awful. I also wonder if, like MNLonghorn said, all the wokeism has made the country in general less patriotic. Half the board is going to say “that’s bullshit” but there really is a large segment of the population who don’t like Megan Rapino, Gwen Berry and other Olympic athletes that complain about their country.
  5. I wanted to like this because I like the Rock, Blunt and the actual ride. It was mildly entertaining but very long and hard for our kids to follow but found myself bored and tuning out toward the end.
  6. This is dumb. If you were told to be on her side then your parents taught you wrong. Goldilocks is still a derogatory term for someone who doesn’t think anything is good enough for them.
  7. Jeez, you really pretty much did do it all. You hit up Lanikai of Kailua? Those are my favorite beaches on the island.
  8. Ha ha- we’re not even playing in the olympics and if we were we’d be playing our U23 team.
  9. God I hope we beat the fuck out of Mexico
  10. I’m surprised at the dearth of Disney movies on there. Interesting that Lion King is the highest rated and Toy Story is so far down.
  11. Watched that and Honest Thief on planes. Both are just horrible movies.
  12. I’ve found that if you deselect auto for picture quality and select 1080 or 720 instead that my picture cleared up.
  13. There was a story on these guys a few weeks in Maryland or Virginia where they moved into some lady’s vacant rental house and claimed they couldn’t be evicted because the laws don’t apply to them. Can’t understand why they think they can live somewhere and not have to follow the same rules as everyone else.
  14. My 10 year old loves lacrosse. Watched the preview. Is the suicide stuff too intense for kids that young?
  15. I thought he was going to start doing the Kobe juggling his huge balls thing on the way to first
  16. I assume we’re back to being the home team tonight, correct?
  17. Why the hell does ESPN say we won the game in 10 innings? I woke up and checked the score and was like WTF?
  18. Announcers already sucking off state and they’re not even playing yet
  19. With the way the announcers were talking up UVa all game long- I had to keep looking up to remind myself that the score was still 2-2 for most of the game.
  20. That’s how you cement your legacy- by making sure the guy behind you sucks ass. Just ask Mack Brown.
  21. Are the blurry pics on purpose? I have yet to see a clear pic of their rooms from the visit.
  22. I wonder if the Mavs would give Taylor Jenkins a look. He’s done pretty well in Memphis despite only having Morant and no one else. He’s also a local guy, went to St. Mark’s I believe.
