Congrats to ALL our girls in the Red, White, & Blue and to the coaches, trainers, etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome frickin' job dominating the world yet again and bringing home GOLD to the US once again!!! 5 for 5 since 96!!!!
They played great today!!!! Parker was a beast (saved her best for last for sure---MVP of this game), Taurasi was a defensive nightmare (who thought those words would ever be uttered), Bird controlled this game from start to finish, and EVERYONE else played their roles to perfection.
Love the NO egos and the team comradery...that photo from above is the cutest thing ever!!! We fans may not all get along, but these LADIES sure did and they did it in style!!!! Rivals to teammates united as one!!!! |

Diana was WAY more emotional than I have ever seen her. It's easy for us to forget that had she not won her fight against that fraudulent PED charge, she would not have been there. Making me cry too!
What does it take to make Lindsay Whalen smile!?
I am so very happy for them all! |
haha, linsday smiled in a local interview.

Poor Dee
She's crying because she's not going to get to play again until the Euro season.

I haven't been a fan of NBC's coverage of the Olympics at all.....including the one hour recap of the blitz of London during WWII prior to any actual athletic coverage last night. The volleyball match aired at 11 pm here....CRAZY! Who is making these 'interesting' choices? And, for the 99 millionth time WHY is Ryan Seacrest involved in this coverage? I really don't give a flying fig how social media is responding to anything. If I did, I could sign on to Twiiter, FB et all and discover that for myself.....really makes me YEARN for the days ABC covered the Olympics...... |
NBC's Prime Time coverage isn't for sports junkies. It is for casual viewers who only watch sports during the Olympics. The ratings have been great, because NBC knows its audience. Most of the people who watch Olympic coverage in prime time don't watch ESPN or the NFL or anything else sports related, and they're perfectly happy getting tape delayed events. NBC streamed everything live for people who are really into it.
ABC tape delayed everything. The "Miracle On Ice" from 1980? ABC ran it tape delayed in the US. Mark Spitz winning umpteen Gold Medals in 1972? Tape delayed in the US.

well then, abide the rules. hurl and be hurled at.
BTW, i don't talk crap. i speak the truth. |
Again, why do you feel the need to start shit with me? I don't know you. Plenty of people have disagreed with you on various matters in the past week. Why not bother them?
Am I supposed to know who you are or something? Are you offended that I don't know who you are? This is a popular board--people come and go. I have no clue who you are, so I don't address you unless you bait me (which you have done for a week now). Is that why you keep attacking me--because you want attention from me?
You're acting very strange--picking fights with someone you don't know. It's making you look foolish.
I don't care how long you've been posting here. I haven't come across you until this week.

Yup. Those planning on coming to Rio had better start saving yesterday. Hotel rates are ridiculous, a result of not having enough hotels to begin with. Trying to stay outside the city and drive to events is unthinkable. But the atmosphere should be amazing regardless. |
It sounds like there are not enough hotels anyway. It looks like the main park will be near Barra. Where can you stay near there? Are there condos or rentals or timeshares?

I fell in love with Whalen's grumpy face this Olympics. She and Angel were my two favorite players to watch in this tournament.
