Just happened to put the TV on this morning and saw they were on. Completely forgot about them.

Speaking of basketball... why is 3 on 3 an Olympic event now? I've never been a big Olympics guy, but would tune in a little here and there. All the new sports make me less interested.

I mean skateboarding... really?

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a single second of water polo.

I like sports that are just obviously goofy and yet the participants take it so seriously.

Also why I love curling and timbersports.

That Blummenfelt triathlon win reaction was great. Dude was absolutely in disbelief on the home stretch that he had a 10+ second lead.

Men’s mountain bike race was pretty fun. Tough downhill sections. I think the women’s race might be tomorrow.

Haven't really been able to sit down and enjoy it

The main event stuff like Gymnastics , Swimming , Diving , Some of the track and field is what I look to watch

I liked the olympics much more when winter/summer would be in the same year once every four years. Since they made the switch it seems like there are always olympics happening, and it's less exciting and special. The anticipation of an exciting event is part of what makes it fun.

Random tidbit and anybody that listens to spittin chiclets probably caught this a couple episodes back, but I believe Teddy Purcells fiance/ babys momma is April Ross’ beach volleyball partner.

Tried staying up to watch the final round of the Olympic's golf but couldn't make it past ~1 am. Just read about the ending; sorry I missed it.

NBC really needs to tone down on the fluff coverage and just stick to showing sports. We don't need celebrity pump up segments or human interest stories on every athlete to be engaged, especially when their coverage is cutting actual events in loads of sports left and right.
