And the head stomper chick is not penalized.  Punching someone in the eye is bad, very bad, but stomping someone on the head with a cleated shoe is just fine.

Everyone does it and it is never penalized.

Damn were the frogs dirty in the Spain - France QF basketball game. At least Good prevailed.   

My ridiculously overpaid boy Batum did to that Spanish guy, what Ed has wet dreams about doing to Timmay.

And just before that Turiaf had clotheslined Rudy Fernández, which had to withdraw to the game because of back pain (he had had surgery on it months ago).

Huge game for the Croatian goalie.  Not a shutout, but he dominated team USA all the same.

Rudy is a whiny little bitch anyway.

Batum's post-game comment was "I wanted to give him a good reason to flop."

I read/heard somewhere that someone figured out that 8.99 was physically possible but they don't think anyone could go faster than that naturally.

I live right outside of Portland and could probably be considered a Trailblazers fan.

Oh shit.     He couldn't play a lick of NBA defense and I don't think he hit shot in the playoffs in his 3 years here.

The Brazilian beach volleyball chicks just won the bronze over the Chinese.

2 medal pickup for US

[Josquius]

Brazillian...beach volleyball....That I wanna see.

[Josephus]

Frenchie soccer chicks are hot.

[Josephus]

About 10 minutes left in regulation. France 0-Canada0. France shots 22. Canada 2. Must find way to blame ref.

[Josephus]

Karma baby. Çanada scores in the last minute.

First team medal since 1936

Now hopefully Japan can finish off what they started in December, 1941.
