I dont know if Karolyi is right or not, but between his crying and now his wife crying about judges delaying one of the chicks from going and that perhaps throwing her off, they're both making the Americans look like a bunch of cry-babies. We lost, just stfu about it.
Too risky. I say we shave Lucky's mustache, put him in peasant clothing, clothespins on both eyes and send him in.
Just because you're Chinese, doesn't make you an expert. Hilariously, the two girls that people are squaking about being underage aren't even the ones whose ages are being questioned by some circumstantial NYT evidence. The bottom of bottom lines is as Tony Kornheiser said on PTI; if America had won then this isn't an issue. They were outstanding but not outstanding enough and all of a sudden it's an issue based on some circumstantial evidence.
Euro athletes are such POS, especially the basketball players. Definition of floppers, man. I just hate to see it. It's pretty pathetic.
2 things this morning fellas. D-Wade is the best player on the planet RIGHT now. And, BLAKE BEAT FEDERER IN STRAIGHT SETS!!!!!!!!
Federer has really been struggling since about 6 weeks before Wimbledon. Still can't see anyone but Rafa Nadal winning this.
Wade=MVP and if the Heat can put together a top 5 seed team, he will have a shot at the NBA MVP. His working with Kobe Bryant on his defense is paying off huge.
Did I read the box score right, 6 steals? Amazing. Would've liked to see him do a little better at the stripe though. 4 of 9 ain't gonna get 'er done.
Yes, he was all over the floor defensively. On that note, I've got to tip the hat to LeBron James and the tremendous job he's done defensively as well. Couple of incredible blocks. EDIT: Wade needs to show up early to USA's next practice and shoot 100 free throws.
I deleted a bunch of posts. Keep on the subject guys and not on each other. Those involved have been PM'd. Next time it's formal. Thanks and enjoy the Olympics.
Just saw it. That is the gretest "Alley Oop" Ive ever seen... EVAR Somebody make a GIF! EDIT: Can't believe Kobe missed the second one. D Wade is easily the greatest at those lobs. He's so precise.
US women's Sabre won Bronze...just saw the event during lunch...also saw US Men's Beach Volleyball beat the Japaneese
I dont see Rogers/Dalhausser losing until the medal rounds if at all. They look like the best duo out there right now.
NBCOlympics.com has the entire game on their site. No highlights as of yet. maybe you can work with that. The play in question is at the beginning of the 2nd half if Im not mistaken. EDIT: I found it, its about 40 seconds in. Enjoy http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/player.html?assetid=0814_hd_bkb_au_ce160
Awesome win by Team USA and great teamwork by Bryant and Wade on the defensive end. Coach K put those two in a crucial test and they stood up to the task. It may just be me but it looks like Kobe's finger is giving him some problems. Looks like he's just trying to hide the pain. Really hope he gets the surgery done immediately after the Olympics. So if I were to show you a 16-18 year old girl with a 13 year old girl of your ethnicity, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference? Hell, even my pro-Chinese relatives know they're underage even when they're celebrating the win. And growing up here, I can tell our team and other teams were 16 and up. Even the Chinese press is bringing the issue up themselves. If someone digs a little deeper, I think they'll find the evidence because it's almost inherent to any Chinese. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/be...lug=ap-gym--underagechinese&prov=ap&type=lgns I still think even if someone, doesn't even have to be America, won, you would still see this issue being brought up. Hopefully it either ends in the abolishing of the age requirement or at least lead to better investigation and verification of the athlete's ages.
I know rules are rules, etc, etc, but a part of me is even more impressed if these Chinese gymnasts are below the age of 16 (12, 13, 14???), and doing the skills they are doing, under that pressure and scrutiny, etc. Just saying....
I know there are a couple of American gymnasts who are underage that likewise face the same pressure and scrutiny and also have possibly better skills than our current roster. I'm not taking away from what the Chinese gymnasts have done, just saying too.
Glad track & field is starting, getting tired of the swimming tbh. Hopefully Gay vs. Bolt vs. Powell lives up to the hype
can't blame her for what her country promotes. i'm fairly prejudiced against the chinese anyway. we made some "shakers' for china(they test the reliability of electrical boxes before they're put on an airline).after the purchas thet asked for people to go over to china to set em up, they asked me but i said no. a friend of mine went, he called me long distance several times and you could hear somebody listening in. he'd turn his pictures in for development and wouldn't get some of the negatives back. twice the local police stopped him and took the film out of his camera. there were places he wasn't allowed to go. the public restrooms are just a hole in the ground with a screen around it.
I don't want to start a debate regarding the policies of the Chinese Govt. as this is not the correct forum, but did anyone see that commercial where the American tourist taps the Chinese officer on the shoulder and asks for directions? (believe it was a pen commericial) My uncle works for the US Govt. and has told me stories about his time there. Maybe things have changed as this was 10 years ago, but I can't imagine a Chinese Officer being that accomodating towards an American from the things he's told me...
There's image and then there's reality. I didn't exactly feel that welcome when I went there and I'm Chinese. But it was 4-5 years ago and things may have changed. Certainly with more westerners doing business than ever before, they may be more welcoming. And more so for these Olympics I'm guessing. May be true. Could depend on a lot of things really. I'm no fan of the Chinese government that's for sure.
You tryin' to get me in trouble with that setup? Nope, gonna take the high road on this one........ j/k Coach
Still no medals and the US knocks out Canada is soccer Nice to see the track starting Dont know why swimming gets so much media play I'm looking forward to the 4X100 as well as most other events
Meh, Italy has always been better in the Winter Olympics. The swimming gets so much play because we (the US of A) rule it with an Iron Fist! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/be.../post/Rifle-s-Romeo-and-Juliet?urn=oly,101068 I thought this was a nice change of pace from the usual stories.
Anyone else a fan of Beach Volleyball? It's all I care to watch. Phelp's run is obviously amazing but if I have to see another swimming match I'll never go in a pool again. We've got arguably the 2 strongest teams in the world in Mens and Womens Beach with Rogers/Dalhausser and Walsh/May.
