I like the Romanian team, three look like they're sophomores in high school, the other two look like they just graduated college.

JerseyTim: The Egyptian fencer just fell off the mat or the court or the stage... what the heck is it called?

I think it's pieste or something like that in surrenderese. I briefly saw it on CC.

bbfreak: Sometimes it'll play fine, but more often than not and especially on very popular sports/heavily watched sports you get freezing.

It plays flawlessly for me with just a couple exceptions so far and one of those went away after a refresh the other after a browser restart. Granted I also run adblock plus so it's not jumping to commercials at all, which may or may not help.

Looks like he just posterized the South Korean right back.

I don't really like tennis but the France/Canada match on right now is pretty insane. 23-22

Gosling: Looks like he just posterized the South Korean right back.

I want a fencing poster where one dude is getting owned by the other one to hang next to my poster of Dr. J dunking on Jack Sikma.

JerseyTim: Cool, thanks.

no problem :) the word is also used in skiing to mean the official run.

Okay, the Egyptian and South Korean fencers officially do not like each other.

Gosling: the Egyptian and South Korean fencers officially do not like each other.

what happened?

JerseyTim: Ok, I like this a lot. However, let's make it the sequel, En Garde 2. The kid from the first one travels back to his old neighborhood and brings fencing with him.

Wait, he's introducing fencing to his old rich kid friends, the ones that never visited him in the ghetto? You had me and you lost me. Totally not believable.

And Tsonga wins it 25 / 23. Ridiculous.

Maybe it's just me, but the USWNT is looking sloppy. Wet field? Tired? Just wanting to coast through an easy victory? Who knows.

I kind of dig our gymnasts' jackets on the medal podium. Classy and subtle, and in stark contrast to those of the other countries'.

Ok, this is funny, the shortest US gymnast is taller than the tallest Romanian or Russian gymnast.

El Uno Magnifico: Wet field? Tired? Just wanting to coast through an easy victory? Who knows.

Wet field, also probably not wanting to mix it up too much with Best Korea who haven't exactly been playing particularly cleanly.

They don't seem to be taking many chances.

JerseyTim:
Cool, thanks.
WhyteRaven74: no problem :) the word is also used in skiing to mean the official run.


Yeah, it basically means 'track' or 'trail' in French, fwiw, so you were spot on.

South Korean gets penalized for swiping at the Egyptian even after the South Korean's been knocked on his ass.

Next point, he charges at the Egyptian so hard he winds up halfway to the tunnel.

second yellow. gtfo.

the goal is to win cleanly and avoid injury. should probably take out Wambach & Morgan soon

True.

Oh, and it's scary to see Wambach standing next to any random NK player. Holy crap, it's Gulliver.

Red card for Best Korea

Egyptian now knocked on his ass.

Gosling: Next point, he charges at the Egyptian so hard he winds up halfway to the tunnel.

heh

that tackle could've ended up a lot worse.

2 yellows = a red
-card, this has nothing to do with Asians or a Communist,

There are three cards in fencing: yellow, red and black. Yellow's a warning, red's a point to your opponent, black is a DQ.

South Korean has two yellows and a red just since I found the match.

I mean a yellow and two reds, sorry.

South Korean on his ass again!

JerseyTim: What is he doing to get them?

Basically trying to kill the Egyptian and being the most reckless son of a biatch with a sword since Jack Churchill.

robsul82: Brandi doubles down on the Rampone criticism.

Brandi: Don't play the game! just hold the ball....wahhaaaaaaaa!!!

The Bestest: uh oh.. Brandi criticizing the players again

Whenever she talks, I get the feeling her parents are first cousins.

Nope, I turned that off to see if that was the problem too. Didn't make a difference. Like the final just now in gymnastic, was playing fine and then it just stopped for no reason. Oh, and worth noting there is at least a 30 second delay compared to BBC. I know this because I was watching swimming with my GB friend, and she called the results before I saw them. 30 seconds is a lot of time in swimming, and had to set a no spoiler rule with her. :P

A lot of extra ball touches in the box by the USWNT.

This is not a good thing.

SHUT UP BRANDI

There's been a debate as to whether the women's soccer team should have been allowed to compete at these Olympics after a major doping scandal at last year's World Cup, when five players tested positive for steroids and the nation was banned from the 2015 World Cup. Team officials offered a bizarre explanation, saying the players' positive tests resulted from receiving musk deer gland therapy after getting struck by lightning during a training camp. Asked if the team deserves to be at the London Games, Choe declined comment.

Wow, sounds like the Best Korean Ladies team has been through a lot
