  1. What did Snoop say? Was that English?
  2. I would agree if he didn't open the show.
  3. Peyton Manning is a million times better doing this than Kelly has been.
  4. Any wagers on who is going to light the cauldron?
  5. Way to be a killjoy about Iran Mike.
  6. The Great Britian team thinks this weather feels familiar
  7. For Paris it's too obvious https://www.catacombes.paris.fr/en
  8. COME ON NBC. talk to these guys later, get back to the Danse Macabre show instead!!!
  9. I wish she was sucking balls, then she wouldn't be able to talk so much.
  10. Been 3 times, will never get tired of it either on TV or in person.
  11. Yeah, I wasn't feeling it before, I am feeling it now. Interleaving the opening show with the parade and in this very unique way is pretty cool.
  12. How can China's boat float with all those drugs on board that ship?
  13. This is an odd ceremony in that USUALLY there is a ceremony/show before the parade. They don't appear to be having one this go around.
  14. Good to see NBC showing this live. I've never understood their love with tape delay on ... well everything.
  15. So it appears that for the first time ever NBC (via peacock) is going to carry the opening ceremony live. I don’t know if Tokyo was, but it was the pandemic, it kind of didn’t matter. Brazil was on a 1-hour delay in 2016 and I know for sure 2012 London wasn’t live. Frankly our coverage sucks, I recommend picking up the BBC feed. But the Ceremony will be at noon eastern, 11 AM central. First one not at the stadium (the parade of athletes at least).
  16. Forget Robotaxis, the carrot should just say “empty promises” because at this point he just talks about stuff his company will never deliver.
  17. To me Olympic Sports are the ones where the pinnacle is winning an Olympic medal. This is kind of what eliminates a lot of "pro" sports because their top events are majors (golf), grand slams (tennis), a World Cup (Soccer is weird because this is a U23 tournament), Basketball is weird because when it was amateurs, this was the top - but now I would argue that league titles are more important. Give me things like Track and Field, Swimming/Diving, Gymnastics, Volleyball or a ton of smaller sports that we don't even know are sports. Those are the Olympic Sports.
  18. LEAKED API? I thought Twitter was open-source! Oh wait - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-published-twitter-secret-120600748.html?guccounter=1
  19. Uhhhhh... This. Because it's so sloppy, if you make a mistake deep, you can pay the price badly. And while that can play in our favor, nothing is guaranteed. We need to play well and smart to win our games.
  20. LeBron and Gauff are shit picks for flag bearers. Not that they aren't amazing athletes, but the flag bearers should be in "Olympic sports." Not tennis, not basketball (ok maybe the women), but sports where Olympics are the pinnacle of the sport. Heard someone say it the other day, the only 2 right choices are Simone Biles or Katie Ledecky.
