Where 's Brittney ?

 Just curious if we have any other olympics fans other than myself. ( I know Golden Leaf hates them. lol )

Winter Olympics are my favorite but I really enjoy watching the summer games as well ( other than the cr@ppy opening ceremony ). Went to the winter olympics in 2002 and was an awesome experience. I think 2016 is going to give me an excuse to go to brazil

I'll watch some each day but on a cr@ppy weather day like today I'm watching the whole day ( actually watching the badmitton right now. lol )

Some Olympic hotties also. Cant wait for women's beach volleyball
 
Love the olympics but the fact that the events aren't being showed live is terrible  
  Yeah Austour already ruined one for me on his Facebook status update
 
I'm on IM right now with a Japanese friend and she says Japan still shows everything live. She says they all go to work half asleep the next day because they are up until 3 am watching the Olympics and recaps. I assume lots of countries are the same.

I could swear that the games used to be all-live coverage in my lifetime, but not sure when the switch occurred.

Not being live is nothing new but where there was no internet it didn't matter. You can watch any event live at the official NBC site though I had some troubles with the feed. But a major event like the first Lochte vs Phelps on a Saturday afternoon should be on live TV. No excuse, the night time show is a greatest hits package but most are going to know all the results. At least on the weekends show what you can live. I've got 7 HD channels showing Olympics in my house, I should be ablet to see anything important that I want too.

Oh, and sorry Mike but you knew that result already, admit it.

I found your post above filled with erotic wishful thinking! LOL!
Brazil.....hotties.......women's beach volleyball. Rainy days have long been associated with being horny. Do not forget to tape the volleyball and replay the game in slow-mo......LOL!!

 Nah you actually blew it for me. I swear. Although I thought Phelps was going to lose to him anyway but I thought it would be neck and neck literally

A big downgrade with london being 55 degrees today which means the women's beach volleyball girls are all covered up. And that Australian women playing now against the U.S looks older than my mom

 Is there a reason that Brittney Griner is not on the Us Olympic team ?
 

I do not know if she was on the team but she broke her arm longboarding recently.

She pulled herself out of contention for the 12th spot but not until after the first 11 were filled. Maybe she felt slighted about not being in the first 11, maybe she really had other priorities.

They said during the last game that her Mom has some medical issues and she took herself out of the last spot.
 
 I must admit I'm one of those jerks who watches female sports and can't help but laugh.. It's a terrible thing to do. Coincidentally this year I find myself watching many more women's events thus far than men's. Women's soccer has always been watchable(tons of good looking girls and they play a better style than most MLS teams), women's gymnastics I was forced to watch by my gf(not as bad as I thought, couldn't pay me to watch men's), womens rowing, tennis, cycling, and volleyball(destinee hooker is the name of one of the stars...enough said). The only men's events I watch are bball and boxing. Can't wait for track and field and the medal rounds for basketball. Swimming is overrated, bunch of prima donnas but phelps is an all time great.
 
Boxing results are a joke. Bouts are decided before they start based on the countries the fighters and judges are from. USA boxers were continuously robbed of decisions and we will not win any medals for the first time that we have sent boxers to the Olympics as they have all been eliminated in the early rounds.
