Don Pardo, Dr. Demento, Art Fleming, Greg Kihn ... hell, even the "family" shot is probably full of Weird Al's actual relatives.

Coolest thing about Weird Al's cover was that Greg was totally on board ... as long as he got to be in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUZijEuNDQ YouTube won't allow embedding for this vid but it's worth a click if you haven't seen/heard it in a while.

KD would've been an excellent Spur.

His motor and athleticism are unquestionable. Just needs a better shot and more consistent handle. One of my favorite 'Horns. Dude balled out for us last year and I'm sure will do so again this year.

What were the heights of the refs?

Totally not worried about Chendall's strength, explosiveness or athleticism in general. Dude is gifted in that sense. If I were his coach, I'd be saying, "Just shoot and dribble, man. All day, all night. Don't let that ball leave your hands unless you're passing or shooting."

Chet seems like he'd be a great international player, given his all-around skillset and size.

NBC just dropped a great edit that underscores how excellent most of the track events for these Games were. They unfortunately turned off embedding for it, but it's worth a click. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeKnYi2vVgI

pics not loading It took some digging but I finally found a pic of @mchookem's French exchange student.

Naw. They are going to take their talents to 3-on-3.

Bring home lots of neodymium.

💥Bonus💥 American-centric summary for what's on tap in track & field for Sunday, Aug. 11: MORNING SESSION Women's Marathon final. Representing the US will be national- and area-record holder Emily Sisson, Fiona O'Keeffe and the unfortunately named Dakotah Lindwurm., which sounds like some sort of intestinal parasite one contracts from a Midwestern diner. Of the three, Sisson is the only one with an appreciable chance for medal. Her all-time best of 2:18.29 earned her second place at the 2022 Chicago Marathon and nearly broke her into the top 20 all time. The two leaders in that statistic--Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa and Holland's Sifan Hassan--will be present. Hassan is the Dutch Army Knife of female distance running--her Olympic medal stash already consists of two golds and a bronze from Tokyo 2020 and a pair of bronzes from earlier in this Games. Also of note, 5K and 10K gold medalist Beatrice Chebet of Kenya will not be competing in this event. Looking at her bio, it doesn't appear as if she's ever participated in a competitive marathon. And that truly will close the book on what has been a sensational athletics session in Paris.

Logistx got robbed, yo.

Believe most here are pro-Inside Guys and Chuck in particular.

I think a lot of it looks cool as shit and is a remarkable display of dexterity and agility. But I also don't think it belongs within a mile of the Olympics. (I would say that of many, many other events, however.)

Jealous of those flowy trails. Pretty phat ride-offs at about the 2-minute mark and the end. How much does a lift ticket run?

To put Bryce's performance in today's men's 800m final in perspective, his fourth-place time of 1:41.67 would have secured gold in every Olympic final save one: Rudisha's all-time masterpiece in London 2012. Still the world record, btw.

Steph was in his feels after the game.

Putin has the face of one of those Real Baby's (NEW IN BAG) that @Neikea has been trying to sell us.

Remember reading about this (on this very site) when it first happened. Hope the surviving mother and daughter are somehow finding a way to enjoy life after going through that.

Behind you.
