Still pissed I have to do this and avoid all other outlets till its shown. Bull****.
200M Men was the semis, and the women 200M final was today, fyi.

Yeah, 200 M Men finals are tomorrow.
Although, the women's 200M final is a good watch.

The 200m should be Felix by .3 I think she goes about 21.92 and 2nd-5th could be any one of the two Jamaicans and Ross/Jeter.

I'll go

1. Felix 21.92
2. Jamaican girl 22.21
3. Jeter 22.24

4. Richards-Ross 22.30
5. Jamaican girl 22.33

I coincide. The German girl probably wouldn't have been too bad either if she could have won at least the bronze and used it to pawn her way to Aspen Dental.

For whatever reason, I think Mckayla Maroney is going to be pretty hot (in an Oklahoman stripper kind of way) in 2016. She has a girl-next-door look about her. Hopefully she kills the competition trail over the next few years and finds redemption in Rio.

Bolt is sick fast. Within his first eight steps he's made up the stagger.

That's not suppose to happen in the Olympics.

Polnar coulda been a Bond Girl in the old Cold War days.

May & Walsh are just too dykey looking for any big endorsement deals.

Man, the NBC coverage tonight blows. Way to throw all the important track and field events all the end of the night.
I could give two shits about diving.
Good thing I followed the events today.

Tonight was the first night I actually looked to see what else was on. The diving is soooo boring.

Yeah.....the 8 minutes I watched the diving the analyst was commenting on the horrible USA women divers saying how special of an athlete they are and the one was Frank Viola's daughter. He said he played major league baseball but it is nothing to the level of this.

Shocking the diving specialist analyst doesn't think winning 24 games in a season, a Cy Young and 2 wins in the World Series.

No kidding. I purposely didn't watch to 200m all day and nbc decided to show it during their last hour of coverage.

Screw tape delay. I'll watch on .com

No, he didn't. I watched it as well, and the commentators were very respectful of Frank's accomplishments, and were also very complimentary of their (both Viola parents) involvement as well. Yes, the diving was boring, but try not to embellish what was said during the broadcast.

By the way, if you do a google image search of her there are a few pictures of her modeling a sheer white top. (It's worth the 5 seconds of looking for it.)
