    Yeah, that's totally not a red flag or anything.

    I feel tired just watching them. Swimming is hard work.

    Unfair that the Chinese swimmer, Wang Shun, has his own theme song.

    Well, naturally. He employs Bonetti's defense on rocky terrain, counters Capa Ferro with Thibault, and has even studied Agrippa.

    Unless one of them gets to use a claymore.

    Or the irukandji or box jellies. Stonefish and cone snails, too. Australian wildlife don't fuck around.

    Did you hack my web cam or something?

    Dissenting opinion: it is stupid to have all these multiple "stroke" events. Take track and field, for example. Ignoring the bullshit race-walk, the key is to get from A to B the fastest. That's it. If you wanna hop, skip or jump your way while everyone else is running, best of luck. Same with swimming. Just get from A to B the fastest. That means freestyle. All these other disciplines are just outdated bloat for medal count. It's idiotic.

    Oh, yeah? Well, I called 16!!!

    I expected better from you, Brisket.

    Normally, I'd chastise you. But given the subject matter and the (hopefully) potential damage to Russia's economy, I think some posrep is in order.

    Gotta hand it to Biles--not easy being the favorite and the burden of expectation that comes with it, yet she always seems to rise to the occasion.

    Nothing ever happens in Pampa.

    The Vietnamese didn't really want to be communists; they just wanted to be independent.

    Agreed on both counts. Pulled the numbers and it looks like through seven games (five warm-ups and two pool play matches), Steph is 26-of-66 (39.4%) from the floor and 17-of-50 (34.0%) from deep. Dunno if it's merely a mini-funk or if the closer arc is fucking with him. Regardless, he needs to not be a turnstile on defense. His nickname after the South Sudan game should be Eggs cuz he got cooked time and time again. Steph hasn't contributed to international ball since 2014, and, at the age of 36, this is his first-ever participation in the Olympics, so hopefully he's here with serious, professional intent and not just medal chasing.

    They should spice it up. Same requirements--no running, only walking, so always one foot in contact with the ground--but add in herds of komodo dragons or something. It would make the sport more presentable for us, the common viewer, and remove race walkers--whom I'm convinced must be the most insufferable people on the planet--from the gene pool.

    If pumas are known for having a weakness, it's their inability to pass up an opportunity to fuck a duck.

    If the first dude had killed the second dude in a fit of blind rage, I would've voted for acquittal. I mean, he didn't have to do anything and that's a goal. Or if he just taps it in virtually any other direction. The ball was 80 percent across the line and still moving toward the net. If they lost the game and I were coach, I honestly would have a tough time not cutting the second dude on the spot, then and there. One of the worst things I've ever seen. Just extreme incompetence. Possibly appropriate for the death penalty.

    Don't remember the Sonic bookcovers, but I do remember the ButterKrust and Big Red ones. This harkens back to seventh grade. I'd never had a Big Red before, and staring at those bookcovers all day long inspired a serious thirst. By eighth grade, I was a Big Red addict. And we used to scratch out the "er" in ButterKrust and color the covers accordingly. We were very artistic like that.

    Question for our pilots: what's the fallout from an incident like that? The pilot did well to make an emergency landing on a public highway. Got the plane down intact and nobody was hurt. But running out of fuel seems like a pretty massive mistake. Is the FAA the one that rules on such matters? And are we looking at a suspended license or potentially much worse?

    Got dam, LeBron moves well for 39. Dude is a freak of nature.
  23. Braff Zacklin
    Get the fuck off the court, Steph.
  24. Braff Zacklin
    What a fucking give-and-go between KD and AD. That was nice.

    Holy shit, Shayok almost got knocked back to Ames on that blocking call. (That was for you, @Al_4_ISU!) EDIT: And that looked like a shot to the liver from A.D. on Omot.
