OT: Summer Olympics

[Alexander the Gr8]

Lochte has said he and his buddies didn't report it to the police because they didn't want to get in trouble. That sounds shady because what would they get in trouble for? Being out late and drunk? Their Olympics were over so that doesn't make any sense. Unless they did something like break down a door and piss all over a hallway?

It's not like these guys don't have the money to pay for the damage they caused.

An Olympic first, for me at least:

Severed leg spotted near Olympic sailing events

Yep, that's Brazil for you.

I am stunned at the number of athletes coasting to the finish line specifically on short runs. Are they really thinking not running their hardest for 1 second is going to be the difference maker a day later?

Gatlin will claim he was injured since November but if he was injured that badly he would have never have been so far out in front, and certainly should not have looked over his shoulder. And shouldn't be racing tonight.

Just heard on the news that Lochte and another of his swim buddies have been indicted for making a false report to police in Brazil. That means dick to Lochte, he is in the US, but his swim buddy could be looking at 3 years in jail.

Whatever the truth is, the two being indicted is a bit much, IMO. Brazil is in full save face mode.

The others should've ran away with their buddy Lochte.

So all this Lochte BS is because Lochte told his Mom a fib about being robbed at gun point and his Mom blabbed to a reporter about it. What a fine representative of the good ole U.S. of A.

No I would say all this stuff is because Lochte acted like a idiot, and then when he sobered up instead of taking care of it, he acted like a bigger idiot. This is also on the other 3. They should have owned up to it imminently and fixed the problem. How hard would it have been to go back, apologizes and pay for the door.

I hope US basketball gets shook up again. This team has not done well.

Team selection and lack of off year player participation being called heavily to the mat...

Well maybe they really were "held up"? Link is to a statement about what happened from one of the swim buddies:

Who hasn't taken a piss when drunk behind a building? Or even ****ed with an advertisement? So I wouldn't say these guys did anything outrageous. Like hold a gun to someone and demand money before allowing someone to leave. They had a gun pulled on them in a 3rd world country. They are lucky one of their severed legs, at the hip, wasn't found off Copacabana Beach.

How in the world did the US get DQed again? The men's 4x100 relay team is seemingly cursed.

Apparently passed the baton outside the zone

Pierre knows Water Polo?

What sport doesn't that guy know about?

Brazil/Germany is a good one. Gold medal game 15 minutes from penalty kicks to decide.

Another Maryland native, Matthew Centrowitz, wins Gold in the 1500m.

Crab cakes and Olympic Gold medals, thats what Maryland does!
