anyway... this brazil vs korea womens soccer game is nuts. both teams are really really good. and they are fighting like crazy
this is on UHD right now.
check that, it's on NBC proper.
if you don't know what the wrestlers are trying to do--how certain moves and holds are supposed to work and so forth, then it might just look like too sweaty guys rolling around on a mat.

Oh. I'm replying to a Steagles post. Um. OK.

I don't know where else to put this, but it has to be seen:

"I guess I like penis. It's very tasty" might be one of my favorite lines of any video I've ever seen on the Internet.

After a close first set, the American duo is overpowering the Dutch at the moment.

And CFP, that video is beyond absurd. I watched earlier, and emailed it to all of my friends.

Does a two person team really need a coach?

Tennis players have coaches.

I dunno. A coach isn't playing. So they can sit there and get another perspective on the tendencies of their opponents. Plus they can probably be helpful to settle down players if they get rattled or whatever.

I love the Olympics, I'll even watch S. Korea/Russia women's team handball for a while (Go South Korea!) but I find swimming to be perhaps the most boring sport ever.

Right now, the Phillies offense is less a sport than poker.

I love the Olympics. I'll be watching that instead of the Phils tonight although I'll have the game on here on the computer so I can check in.

Right now, I'm watching the GREATEST BEACH VOLLEYBALL TEAM IN THE WORLD getting beat by a team from Latvia (which doesn't even have an ocean so it don't even have beaches).

THE GREATEST BEACH VOLLEYBALL PLAYER IN THE WORLD is not even an American but he plays for us. His dad is Dutch and his mom is German or something. He's a big goofy guy who isn't doing much of anything except getting his shot blocked and missing blocks and shooting his serves into the net. I'm not sure what makes him THE GREATEST. He is tall.

His team mate is a guy who is THE GREATEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE WORLD and he pretty much just stands around and watches the big goofy guy try to do everything.

This sport is pretty dumb but it's the Olympics so it makes it cool for now.

The womenm play this sport too and they hardly wear anything at all so I think I know why beach vollyball is popular.
