Trampoline? WTF?  When did they add this bullshit?

What the fuck is next, kiddie pool Jell-O wrestling?

Goddamn, I hate the summer Olympics.  Give me luge wipeouts at 68mph any day.

If I heard correctly Spain only beat UK by one point in men's basketball. :o

Might have been a meaningless game but still.

FYI Luol Deng plays for the Ukes.

Haven't seen any of their games, but from the final scores it appear the UK team has at least been respectible, though they have lost every time out.

crazy canuck

Canada's basketball team beat Brazil for the first time in over a decade to advance to the quarter finals.  Now they have to beat the Aussies to avoid meeting the US in the cross over.

Zombies in the closing ceremony? I'd watch that.

Seriously the Keirin must be the silliest event in the Olympics.

Man, these little yellow bastards are downright vicious with badminton.  They attack that net like it's the fucking Yalu.

Later on, they will gold farm in their rooms.

Tough, gritty, inspiring performance by an undersized British women's basketball team against France.  France wins by 1 in OT.  English coach Eddie the Eagle blows the chance at a first ever win by telling his team not to foul up 3 with 5 to play.

Hats off to the Pomettes.

Yes exactly. The drummer is half the band now.  ;)

Canada's women's football team beat not-so-Great Britain and for the first time in over a decade advance to the semi finals.  Now we have to beat the Americans at Old Trafford on Monday. If we do , it will be the first Canadian team medal since the 30s or somethign, not counting the 84 Olympics that weren't.

One thing that was weird about the GB-FR chicks' b-ball game was they had a girl at center court with a mike exhorting the crowd to dance along to YMCA during period breaks. :huh:
