| Official LL 29th olympiad thread v.woooooo I dunno if anyone else on the board loves the olympics as much as I do, I love this stuff, and most every competition I get into big time. Right now the USA and China are tied with a total of 8 medals each.  These games are going to be very competitive and I'm glad to see the USA Basketball team playing like a TEAM. They actually seem excited to play for the country and are playing very unselfish basketball Here's to hoping we win gold again  | ||||

| I watched a few hours last night after a 14 hour drive home. I had to clear almost everything off my DVR to make sure I have room for all the events we are recording. | ||||

Gymnastics ahve been pretty good, US is coming up here in just a few mins... basketball this morning was quite good, LeBron James is just unbelievable. THe defensive plays he made were flat out sick...while I dislike Kobe I'm glad he's representing our team, he's a damn good ball player. | ||||

| Yeah, they really did. But, they'll do better in the finals I hope. Did anyone catch swimming? That 4x100 relay was freaking AMAZING. They were talking about us taking silver, not being able to do it, and then the guy somehow managed to overtake the Frenchie. This after the French team was talking shit about smashing us  | ||||

| This is a strange Olympics for us. We are recording everything and slowly going through it all. We are a good day behind but have seen about 10 hours of coverage in about 5 hours by skipping commercials and fast forwarding some events to the end (like the 150 mile bike ride and 2000 meter boat races). | ||||

| Him breaking that record was the first time I've ever seen him swim. He's a freakin' bullet. Watching him get the gold for that right now, and he's about 20 minutes away from swimming in another race. | ||||
