I think it’s more likely the IOC needs to revisit their model. This one city proposal will never fly. Not only is it still too expensive and reckless for a city to host, but a good deal of the draw of the Olympics is that it’s in some foreign place and foreign culture. Wow, Rio! They sent Matt Lauer out there to check…

You’re welcome.

This is a very nice post.

While I am certain Rio is a shithole, I did not properly adjust for the sheer stupidity of Ryan Lochte in my calculation. I won’t make that mistake again.

Done in one.

Too late.

That paragraph about vaginal inspection is absolutely alarming and this article isn’t without merit, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to disagree with the headline, which summarizes that “The Debate About Caster Semenya Isn’t About Fairness.”

Nope you’re right. On second thought, letting US athletes fall victim to the ceaseless institutionalized corruption in Rio and Brazil is a desirable outcome. My apologies!

I’m glad that Lochte and Feigen(apparently) are back on US soil. None of us know what really happened obviously but regardless, nothing good comes of two US Olympic athletes being ushered through the cesspool of corruption (and literal cesspool) that is Rio and its criminal justice system.

It couldn’t possibly be that the people who robbed Lochte were real police and not make pretend police, right?

Uhh yikes yeah guess the guy is a bit of a turd in the punch bowl then.

The best part is the Trump song is an obvious parody by a noted stand up comedian.

I’ll take being called small over passing up $54m to continue trying to play (when I want to keep playing anyway) every day of the week.

Lol, in Italy if you call the police they come over and make a nice pasta dish.

I’m willing to indulge your point a little bit I guess, particularly because I too think Lupica is a hack. But when I say that Whitlock is a good writer, I’m not analyzing the technical aspects of his prose. A guy with a good sports column doesn’t necessarily have to be Hemingway. Before he went off the deep end, his…

This is the last good thing I can remember from Whitlock: http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/jova…
