Olympics thread

That is kind of what I meant without saying. Like no white guys ever wanted to play for Georgetown?
Oh yes, a Jordan led team would need to take it seriously. The ‘92 Dream Team was the greatest basketball team ever assembled and that will always be the case. Practically everyone on that team made the HOF. Knight coached the greatest amateur Olympic team ever, which had several ‘92 team members on it.
When did the Olympics thread turn into a fanboy Brady thread?
Shooter, that ball wouldn't stick like that in the machine if it were fully inflated. 😬
Guess we know what was in Shooter’s other hand 49 minutes ago
That robot could improve if he pulled up his socks, adjusted his shorts, and dribbled the ball 3 times.
Our guys didn't play hard as in diving for loose balls.
Way worse from the perspective of a patriotic fan than kneeling during the national anthem.
Besides soccer it seems the women are more appreciative in general than the men? I know the world loves soccer but if we are really talking about a boring sport? 90 minutes of running around to score once or twice? I love when they come scurrying out with the stretcher for a scratch. Makes NBA look serious about injuries!
I was never an Allen Iverson fan , but will say the year the pros got beat first time , He was the one guy that was going flat out the rest of them seemed to care less and I did respect that about him.
Tom, with 3 in a row you win Choice of anything on the second rack, or keep playing and trade up for the Jumbo...
France is using NBA players so they don’t have a real team either.
Biles withdraws from gymnastics final to protect team, self
TOKYO (AP) — Simone Biles arrived in Tokyo as the star of the U.S. Olympic movement and perhaps the Games themselves. She convinced herself she was prepared for the pressure. That she was ready to carry the burden of outsized expectations.

i love that so much. it's called polo bulk. my old boss played polo for tim gannon's outback steakhouse team. tommy lee jones was on the team. each team was comprised of super fit, uber talented professional argentines mixed with fat, old, uber rich amateur americans who just sat on the horse and got in pictures. most ridiculous shit i've ever watchedHere's a brilliant idea, from Bill Murray.

look above
I saw yours. Yours was a Twitter account saying mental issues, mine is an AP report saying medical.
One of the articles said that right after a vault is when she talked with one of the trainers. That indicates a physical rather than a mental issue.
The truth is we don't know what is going on. Her twitter post afterwards indicates it could be a mental issue. Whatever the case, let's hope she is ready to go Thursday.
It's easy to say she's soft, etc. But I don't know too much about the situation nor what her physical or mental state of mind is. But if she's soft what does that say about me missing 6 footers on the green for nothing more than a beer after a round.
So NOW you don't trust NBC News? lol
The journalist literally cited the NBC commentators on the broadcast too.
The thing is. If she competes Thursday, which all signs point to her doing. She has only heightened the scrutiny that will be on her.
I hope she wins like we all do, she is the face of the games this year, and I can't pretend to understand that kind of pressure. But her pedestal is largely self constructed. It would be a great moment if she takes Gold in the all around.
Is it? While she certainly has taken advantage financially of the opportunities she's earned, I don't put her in the "look at me" camp. She seems rather apolitical for the times (I'm sure she's backed some efforts) but she's not leading the charge. I give her credit for helping put Nasser away as well and helping to, somewhat, reform USA gynmastics.
