omg...missed that one.

last night there was another incident with a CBC commentator:

http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/rio ... like-a-pig

CBC apologized online and on-air late Wednesday night after one of its commentators said a defeated Chinese swimmer “died like a pig” during a race.

The incident occurred after the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay final, when it seems colour commentator Byron MacDonald thought he wasn’t on-air and said: “The little 14-year-old from China dropped the ball, baby. Too excited, went out like stink, died like a pig. Thanks for that.”

I've never watched women's rugby before, but a player for Great Britain's team is gorgeous.



Too bad they just lost though.

woohoo! silver for women's butterfly!

Total Medals: 2

Now you have three. They just won bronze in rugby.

With a face and teeth like that i'd be afraid she might chew my gonads off.

Cmon, Do you really think you'd be watching as intently if it wasnt mostly americans blowing everyone else out so far?

Men's 100m final in less than an hour.

De Grasse or Bolt?

[Hype]

Bolt, Gatlin, then De Grasse. De Grasse is amazing, but he's clearly trying much harder to keep up with the big boys (dopers, probably). Just look at the difference in size. Gatlin is short (and a doper) but he's a tank. De Grasse needs a few more years to develop muscle mass. Sprinters tend to peak around 24-25.

De Grasse

Literally, who?

[Hype]

De Grasse

Literally, who?

The guy who won bronze like I said he would. He's a very young Canadian (21) who just burst onto the scene last year but has been getting decent press up here. He was running for USC I think, with that other young American guy (Trayvon something?).

[clickie]

I know who De Grasse is, i was just bustin Artemis's balls for thinking he had a chance against Bolt.

Yeah, I was a little surprised that you wouldn't know who he is since you seem to be on top of what's going on in the sports world.

[Hype]

He should be the best sprinter in the world at the next Olympics. The current batch of Jamaicans will be too old by then, and the American youngsters aren't as good as De Grasse.

Testing the new Youtube settings:

When hype routinely refers to others as youngsters.......Holy fuckin age batman

The Chinese and Brazilian women just put on a hell of a volleyball match

Congrats to the Chinese women for winning.

I swear, if I was 6'11" and not 5'11", I would have tried my best to be a professional volleyball player. I loved playing it in school and love watching it being played.

[kv]

Aww USA lost...figured they would ah well...

I played a lot of it as a kid...stopped in HS because football was the same season.... wouldn't have mattered my HS is the best volleyball school in the country...tons of Olympians from there I never would have made varsity....fun story..my first HS fight as a freshman was broken up by the girls volleyball team ( one got a gold)

[mockbee]

Send lochte back to rio.....

What an asshole...

[Artemis]

The USA almost 100 medals now!

Lots of weird shit going on at this olympics- officials selling scalper tickets, the fake hold-up story, the chinese pole vaulter who loses because his penis got in the way..
