  1. Believe this will be the third time that Joe has finished second to Ryan Crouser at the Olympics. Dude would be a triple gold medalist if not for the GOAT.
  2. Leo's going to need the run of his life to stay on the podium, me thinks.
  3. Why is the corn brown? Has it been, uh, "recycled?"
  4. Yeah, I figured he'd throw at least near 60m and then do just enough in the 1,500m final to hang on but I think he's out now unless he comes through with something special. 54m is well below his PB of 59m.
  5. He can pass, sure, but if he does and someone else comes through with a 23-meter toss--which several in the field have that potential--then he has that many less attempts to try and regain the lead.
  6. She always fades near the finish. She's more of an indoor (60m) specialist. Great off the line but limited top speed/poor speed endurance. But, yeah, I still follow her.
  7. All three American women advance to this evening's 100m final--TT Terry only just (on time).
  8. Sha'Carri's only weakness is her start. She'll need to do better in the final. Might be my Burnt Orange glasses, but it seems Julien Alfred has the face of a fashion model.
  9. I mean, if we're just talking backside, Poland's Ewa Swoboda would like a word with you. I've seen her go from no ink to completely tatted up over the years ... but dat azz has remained the same.
  10. Oh, damn. Jamaica's "Mommy Rocket," Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, has withdrawn and won't compete in Richardson's semi. With Shericka Jackson also out, that means this is Sha'Carri's gold to lose. I think the only one who can challenge her is Alfred.
  11. Super stacked 100m women's semifinal coming up. Texas-Ex Julien Alfred from St. Lucia, Sha'Carri Richardson from the Dallas area by way of LSU (and current reigning World Champ), and reigning Olympic champ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Other semi (Asher-Smith, Swoboda, Jefferson, Kambundji, Ta Lou-Smith) are also top-notch pros. EDIT: wrong semi! USA's Jefferson wins the first semi.
  12. Crouser doing Crouser things. First throw is a gem.
  13. To improve the aesthetics of the sport, all shot putters wearing tank tops are now required to shave their backs.
  14. Almost Crouser time. Hope the big man has at least one more great throw in him. Kovacs and Otterdahl also very legit. Fabbri out to play spoiler. He's in the form of his life.
  15. Charity Stripe is the only one who can guard him today.
  16. Posted for the third time now across various threads. You guys are really obsessed with that vaulter's dick.
  17. Curry's D has been poor. Embiid is getting toasted on the reg by a guy 6 inches and 60 pounds smaller. He's not working the glass, either--only two boards. Starters have seen about 15-18 minutes of the 26 minutes played. No reason other than ego placation for Ant and KD to be sitting so much. Starting lineup should be Bam/AD, LBJ, KD, Ant, and DWhite/Jrue.
  18. Odds of convincing SGA to defect? I hear Canada can be pretty cruel to people with hyphenated surnames. He should seek asylum.
  19. OK, starters shutting us up now. On a big run and finishing the half strong. Still want to see a LOT less of Embiid. He just doesn't fit with this roster.
  20. I take offense. I live on the other side of the state, not Boise.
