Maybe if we're lucky, the diving will be foilowed by the chicks who dance around with hula hoops and ribbons on a stick? Every time he opens his mouth he lowers the sum total of human intelligence.

They might win more handily than they do in basketball.

Posts: 6442 July 29, 2012 9:31 PM Ed Nuttycombe	Not a huge gymnastics fan, but these girls (anyone who calls them women should be imprisoned) are amazing!!! All of them are so competent, or beyond competent, that it's no wonder that Memmel couldn't make the team. I'm watching them and finding myself more surprised at almost every performance - they are truly amazing, and probably better than Retton was, or Strug, or Comaneci for that matter. And all 5 are great- I wonder how good another team will have to be to beat them. 3 of the best women in the world (using the term loosely) are on the same team, but only two can compete for the all-around? How fucking stupid is that rule? Just occurred to me: one of them is the Michigan State of gymnastics! Or the Badger team from three years ago!

And the defending world champ just got cold shanked by the 2 max from a country in the all-around rule. 24 qualify for the all-around final and the #4 high score gets left out. Let's just say Len Elmore and Tom McMillen send their regards.

I doubt the US would have been much against the limit of 2 per team back in the days where Romania and Russia were far more loaded than the other teams.

Lebron would be freaking dominant. They might win more handily than they do in basketball. The coach at West Point back in the early 90s was also my basketball class instructor. He believed basketball prowess to be the best indicator of team handball talent. The West Point team has sent 30 players on to Team USA and one of the guys on the team when I was there was later in the Olympics. It does look really fun.

Any Americans up in arms about China not being able to win all three medals there? This to me is a classic example of people just looking for shit to complain about.

He's a big fan of the Swedish women's team, and without having watched them play, I can get on board that bandwagon.

Remove this ad With all the high-tech athletic gear out there, can't the water polo guys find something more bad ass than a pretty bow under their chin holding the cap on? As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.
