I've seen more missed layups in one quarter here than in five years of NBA basketball.
Not going to hear as many "Canadian women rule/rock" much longer.
Yep it was brutal.
On one of the blown shots, my son said damn, I could make that shot.

Germany beats Canada for a bronze in the equestrian team eventing "jump-off." I don't even feel bad about that. Germany's probably pissed that they didn't win gold, which they usually do in this event.
Stupid not to give out two bronze medals though.

Another Olympic boxing scandal that affected Canadian fighters (Irish fighter Michael Conlan was not impressed either judging by the photo):

I'm waiting for the day that they develop a Pitch Trax equivalent for the various judged sports. That way you can do away with human bias and corruption entirely and just have the competitors judged on their own merits.
It's going to be a fantastic day for fairness in sports when that happens. And it will happen eventually.

Damian Warner is in second place (as expected) after three events in the men's decathlon. His shot put performance was pretty brutal though. He's 100 points back of Brianne's husband now, so that'll be a difficult gap to make up.
Yeah gold is probably gone
If it weren't for swimming, would be a brutal Olympics.

Ashton is a beast. Provided Warner can hold on to the silver place (he's just ahead of the German right now), I think we should be pretty happy with that. He's just too weak in shot put and javelin to beat Eaton.
Yeah he was never expected to win Gold
Millenials gone nuts again. Accusing Ellen of racism for her tweet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...sting-Usain-Bolt-meme-showed-riding-back.html

I'm not sure how you figure insane, over-the-top political correctness is a "millenial" phenomenon. The only difference between "millenials" and past generations in that regard is that nutbag segment of the population now has a platform, and they can all merge together into a hive-mind of outrage thanks to the internet & social media.
Ellen shouldn't have even bothered dignifying it with a response, though.
yeah I should haven't assumed it was millenials but it does seem the generation behind mine gets upset over a lot more trivial things than mine did, and mine gets upset over more stuff than the one ahead
