I can guarantee 100% that my CoG would stay below the bar...

...but so would the rest of me.

Robbie Hummel is what everyone thought Jay Bilas was, and still better

I really don’t follow the Olympics much, but when is the basketball championship?  I went back and looked and was surprised that the US didn’t win every game post-dream team. Did the rest catchup with us, or were those teams not homogenous?

For me, I don't watch "live", I may catch a few short clips later of something interesting.  It's interesting the main "news" is a Turkish dude who won silver.

I freaking love waking up and drinking coffee and watching live sports. Right now there is taekwondo. Can't say I've ever watched competitive tkd at all, though my younger kids are in it

I really enjoy the Olympics.  So much human persistence and resiliency.  So many fascinating sub plots.  

Did you see the gold medal in the men’s 1500M?   That was insane. 

The American runner shocked the world by upsetting the two enormous favorites who had been jawing each other and focused only on each other

This is the first time I'm really paying attention, other than the winter games, which I really like.

I'm enjoying this, and yeah, that 1500 was something.

I've been watching way too much Olympics this year due to the time they're on. And it's terrific. 

It's also fun to hear the French crowd when one of them wins a gold medal, then listen to them belt out La Marseillaise.

I find the weightlifting stressful to watch, like I'm about to see someone's spine splinter
