2024 Summer Olympics

That was a great, great game to watch. Wow.

The incredible thing is, he does this so often, itā€™s almost expected.

I think that Wemby guy has a future in the NBAā€¦

Wrong thread, my friend.

This is as indisputable as ā€œTed Williams is the best pure hitter of all timeā€

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The results of todayā€™s StroPoll have not been announced.

My girl Atheyna brought home the silver which is a mild disappointment in the context of an unbelievable triumph.

I like the fringe/less glamorous olympic sports.

But breaking is fucking stupid.

Iā€™ve never felt older than watching that.

Start getting used to that feeling.

Wow. Ice cold from Nike right after the game. Apologies for the xitter link but itā€™s the only place I could find it.

I hate Nike.

Iā€™m glad to see thereā€™s no reason for me to reconsider.

Yeah. Thatā€™s pretty shitty messaging around something like the Olympics.

Just noticed that GB finished with 1 more medal than France

1 foot on the line from trying to survive overtime.

F off with that, Nike.

To come back to the Olympics-related Quincy category , Quincy Wilson, who is the youngest US male Olympics medal winner.

I had no idea that qualifying round participants got a medal even if they did not run in the final. That seemsā€¦. odd.

No more unusual than the 12th man on a basketball team who didnā€™t see time in the championship game receiving a medal, in my opinion. Heā€™s still part of the team, and he still made contributions.

I remember them doing that in T-ball 45 years ago

Alsoā€¦itā€™s now weird to wake up, get some coffee, turn on the tv and not have sports on

Kind of my take. Just because Verlander didnā€™t pitch Game 7 shouldnā€™t mean he doesnā€™t get a ring.
