Beijing Olympics Thread - Part II

[bono_212]

So, I'm glancing through the listing for tonight's events (btw, have I mentioned I don't watch the Olympics that closely) and I see Baseball listed. I thought Baseball was no longer an Olympic sport?

 

[coolian2]

By the way I've already got my tickets for the 2012 summer games in England.

I'm going to do a vault and land on Daggett's head and take over lead gymnastics analyst duties.

So instead of having his head up his own arse, he'll have it up yours instead?

After Peking it won't be.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

ugh, Daggett.

Here we go again. Maybe he'll shut up.

yeah. maybe.

 

[bono_212]

That wall's been up for at least 2,000 years. I've been patient.

I's just cause I haven't BEEN to China yet. I've so already got all the marketing materials ready and everything. Give me five minutes with them, and that wall will be covered with posters faster than you can say fantasticmarkettingdecision

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I don't think I can take another night of Daggett.

Ties happen. I don't know how often but I've seen them enough times.

 

[bono_212]

I'm seeing Daggett's mouth move, but all I hear is "Comfy in Nautica"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Let's go HORTON.

wooooooooooo hoooooooooo.

 

[Lancemc]

Alexander Artemev is a fucking hero.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Artemev saved them the other night. hope he has a good night this time round.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh man, let's compare:

NBC: big, long intro and fanfare. Bob Costas at desk.

CBC: BAM. Right into men's gymnastics.

 

[bono_212]

Hooo dang...wow. The SIGHT of this event makes my arms hurt

 

[sulawesigirl4]

I am so envious of your CBCness.

 

[corianderstem]

How come men's floor exercise is only about the skills, and women have to prance around to music and pretend to be dancing in between the skills?

That shit is lame.

 

[Lancemc]

Don't pretend that you watch/follow/play sports, please.

Delayed reaction... but I'll have you know I'm a fucking beast when it comes to Badminton, and when in practice I'm told I have a fantastic golf swing.

so there.

 

[bono_212]

ah I see

 

[sulawesigirl4]

That shit is lame.

y'know, I was going to pose this same question last night while watching the women's floor routines. s'rsly. why bother with the fake dancing? it is painful. just show me the tumbling and the mad skilz.

 

[coolian2]

Swimming was never my favourite Olympic event, I'm starting to get very fucking sick of the sight of the pool.

That's actually a really good question and I don't know the answer. But the women are a lot more fun to watch, in my humblest of opinions.

Every once in a while the men will do a little hop but that's it. The men are lucky they don't have to put up with lame ass muzak to tumble to.

Laz would make a shuttlecock joke. I'm classy, though.

And the American girls falling over.

I had no idea.

 

[Lancemc]

I'm just saying, if we were to fight over Coughlin in a game of shuttlecockery... it wouldn't even be close.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

wow, when i looked down to type it was uchimori doing flips and all of the sudden there is michael phelps. dude is everywhere! he's competing in gymnastics now? bet he wins a gold.

 

[corianderstem]

I have a hard time deciding which women's gymnastics events I like the best. What they can do on the balance beam just astounds me, but then I watch them whip themselves into the air on that floor ... I know it's aided by springs under the mat, but god DAMN, that is something.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Um, the Chinese will pull your friggin teeth out for talking about the Watercube that that. Not to mention your statement is blasphemy.

 

[No spoken words]

I want him to stick around for Track and Field, and somehow save a spectator from being hit by a wayward javelin. He'd just let his abs deflect it or something.

! Pretty much I had the same reaction

Or, you'd beat me in golf, even though you pull your putz putts?

Sorry ladies.
