EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Obviously the big game today is mens' basketball USA vs. Greece.
Der Kommissar Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Well, I just Lithuania(whose bandwagon I just jumped on) defeat Puerto Rico in basketball without too much trouble. That isn't looking too good for Puerto Rico's medal chances. I know they looked impressive beating up on a powderpuff in their first game, but they were clearly outclassed by the Lithuanians. I hope they can bounce back in their next game. Now, it's water polo as the US faces Kazakhstan(whose coach has an awesome Stalin 'stache going.) I am quite happy to see Kazakhstan here. Cool name, cool flag, and they break up the monotony of seeing the same powerhouse countries compete for everything. It's 3-2 Kazakhstan, at the moment.
Guest Evolution Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 If the announcers are right, then we are out of hope for a medal in table tennis, as America has been owned by everyone in table tennis, including the most recent elimination, a 15-year-old Japanese girl who got rid of our final American in straight sets. Ping pong is not our strong suit.
Bored Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Allen Iverson has a broken thumb but says he'll play.
Guest Evolution Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Allen Iverson has a broken thumb but says he'll play. And it's in his shooting hand as well, which is a good metaphor for the rest of the U.S. Basketball team. How's our women basketball team doing?
Der Kommissar Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 How's our women basketball team doing? Rolling right along, last I heard. They just disposed of the Czech team, I believe, the other day.
razazteca Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Allen Iverson has a broken thumb but says he'll play. No wonder the team went 3-28 from the 3-point line. Its shorter than the NBA line it should be easiler!
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 What time and channel is the men's basketball on?
Guest Evolution Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 What time and channel is the men's basketball on? USA Network, 3 PM EST.
chaosrage Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 What time and day is the next softball game? Jenny Finch..
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Posted August 17, 2004 I'm conflicted. Cuba is playing Japan simultaniously in Olympic Baseball.
treble Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 That baseball game's almost over, though. It's been pretty one-sided, too.
Rob E Dangerously Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 All this talk (on Yahoo) about Jennie Finch and others saving Softball is bullshit sure, the US hasn't been scored on yet but the games are in the middle of the night. Give the girls primetime!
Mole Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 One thing annoys me about the men's team is the lack of play for Emeka. USA isn't the best on defense and Emeka is a great defensive player. Put two and two together, so put him in.
razazteca Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 One thing annoys me about the men's team is the lack of play for Emeka. USA isn't the best on defense and Emeka is a great defensive player. Put two and two together, so put him in. What and blow his quad? He should'nt even be on the team in the 1st place. All hail King James

Give the girls primetime! Damn right. Beach Volleyball gets primetime. Why not softball?
razazteca Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Bikinis on sweaty women = ratings. Sofball players are generally not sex symbols so they will only be seen on cable or late late night.

chaosrage Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Well so much for that. (Basketball, not Jenny) score: 45-44
Rob E Dangerously Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Cat Osterman-ia.. even if she is taller than I am
Slayer Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 US wins, 77-71 And Jennie Finch isn't that great looking. For one, her face is weird, and two, blonde = meh
Rob E Dangerously Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 also, I'd imagine that trying to guess who is and isn't straight on the US Softball team is discouraged
Australian Pride Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Too give credit where credit is due, the US mens swimmers did well in beating our boys in the 4x200 relay race. Very close though. I'm not a real swimming fan but i could watch races like that all day long.
chaosrage Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 US wins, 77-71 And Jennie Finch isn't that great looking. For one, her face is weird, and two, blonde = meh Your face is weird. blonde = hotness Btw what events are on tonight?
Guest Nanks Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Mens' 100m free. But no Yanks qualified for the final. Chicks' 200m fly. Either a Pole or Aussie will win that. Mens' 200m breast. Hansen v Kitajima rematch. Chicks' 4x200 relay.
razazteca Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 The Chinese made two major mistakes in a row. In one during the dismount of the parallel bars the gymnast did not rotate enough and landed on her head!
Hank Kingsley Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 It's funny to think I had a crush on Amanda Beard back in '96. Now she gets a big Quagmire-esque "Alllllllll-right"
razazteca Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 That older tall russian gymnast gets the same reaction from me.
