I love the Guardian's headline.

Why has the Olympic pool turned green? The good news is it's not urine

US-134
Australia-33
Michael Phelps-21
Germany-18

Dude's a pretty good swimmer. Watch out, Australia.

The U.S. Olympic Committee awards cash prizes to medal winners ─ $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. But the money is considered earned income abroad and subject to IRS taxation ─ as much as 39 percent.

Watching rowing and I keep expecting one of the teams to be attacked by some kind of prehistoric beast. Adds an element of excitement.

No kidding. Sweden "a bunch of cowards"?

Those cowards just kicked your dumb ass out of Rio at the earliest point in Olympic history. Go home and watch your "Dancing With the Stars" moves if you want to recapture some glory.

There's a name for that move. It's called 'Pulling a Ronaldo'.

Wayde van Niekerk running a 43.03 in the 400m and setting a new world record from the outside lane was an amazing accomplishment. Bolt got the press, but van Niekerk had the race of the day.

This team isn't close to our most talented group. KD is the only guy who might start if we had our best going to Rio. To really take this home, they need to play their best ball, and they aren't.

There's a complete lack of distributors. Draymond Green averaged the most assists of any player. That is an issue.

You aren't up partying and destroying crap at 5 am because you are drunk. You are most likely on cocaine.
