Question: What do I want from the Opening Ceremonies tonight?

Answer: 4 1/2 hours of half-naked Brazilian Chicks dancing and shaking their asses off.

Let the games begin!

 

I watched the very, very beginning and the various fluff. They mentioned the parading of the countries. I knew that may take some time. I saw some interviews of USA athletes in the waiting area and all the dumbf*uckery going on in the background with other athletes. WTF.

So I turned on a movie... Review to come.

Turned back on the opening ceremonies. Still parading folks in. Didn't give one crap about that.

Went to bed

So thanks to Chip to inform me, there is now more than one channel to watch the olympics... Thank gawd.
Cause watching hours of the long distance women's bike race is just plain boring on the single channel.

I did switch to another channel and watched an Olympic sport I've never seen, let alone heard of before.
It was extremely odd. It was on a basketball type court. The ball was about half size of a volleyball, so the guys team would easily just hold the ball and toss it around to each other to try to score against the defensive team. The goal was like a hockey/small soccer net. The guys would not dribble the ball. Just run around with it.

It was just so odd... And we'll seemed made up. It was almost ridiculous. I watched only about 10 minutes before I looked for something else.

Any ideas to what this sport is?

Team USA Women's soccer right now. Taking on Columbia. Bring it on.

What an electric day for Team USA today. There were a lot of things that I was looking forward to watching and everyone delivered in a big way. Katie Ledecky's race was great, but it was the showdown between Michael Phelps Vs. Chad Le Clos that had everyone in the world on the edge of their seats. It was a match 4 years in the making and it was epic in its conclusion. Of course Phelps won....barely. But to add another gold an hour later was just as thrilling. But the night obviously belonged to Team USA Women's Gymnastics. They CRUSHED everyone. It wasn't even competitive given how far ahead they were in point totals leading into today and during the matches.
