It'll be interesting to see how things shake out moving forward.

My hot take is if none of them doped I still think Lance wins 7 in a row. In an ideal world where the entire sport was clean I still think Armstrong wins all 7 of those tours.

The athletic achievement and the excitement of those tours is not tarnished by doping. As Bill said I would like all sports to be clean, but…

I was looking for this. I am glad I am not disappointed.

Reward that reaction with carrying the flag at the closing ceremony please. A true underdog won a significant swimming event and her honest joy made it a bit dusty in here. It's also awesome that she's the first African-American woman to win an individual medal, but in my eyes that pales in comparison to the pure joy…

Rear end a car and she will find new meaning to the term putting your foot in your mouth.

You make a lot of very good points. I have one simple counter point. The Tesla really is the best EV on the market and nothing else comes close. As more and more consumers migrate to EV if there’s only one good option that company will eventually find legs and become successful.

I don’t think Tesla will be successful…

But not a Miata. Apparently they suck.

You know another thing NBC couldn't be bothered to show? The times from the 200M IM. Yes we know Phelps won, but I had to look up the times this morning because NBC never bothered to post them. I was curious how close Lochte was to a bronze as well as curious what his time was relative to his semi-final swim.

The what? If it was a revolution why is Tesla the only car of the future john doe recognizes? You can't start a revolution if nobody ever finds out about it.

Roy, Roy, Roy just sounds like my 3 year old when I tell him it's time for bed.

I expected this reply. I could go a few different ways with my response. I’ll choose this one.

The car likely determines if a driver is successful. In pretty much everything but NASCAR the driver needs to have ridiculous fitness just to finish a lap.

In Indy Car without power steering just turning the wheel under load…

Not true. She's not qualified on uneven bars. Douglas and the 5th member of the team who only showed up to do the uneven bars are qualified and the team is limited to 2 participants in the individual event finals.

How can Biles get 4 golds in 1 event? I mean she’s awesome but I’ve never heard of them giving 4 medals for 1 victory.

You forgot racing. Helmets, nomex gloves, fire retardant suits. Racing may actually fit in the #2 spot and maybe challenge hockey for #1.

Did you stare at the sun all day as a child?

Except they're not on speaking terms so I don't think it'll be a problem. +1 for the good idea for a joke.

That's the wonderful thing about kinja. When I hit submit the page never ever re-loads. I just have to hope my post is actually out there. When I refreshed the page I didn't see it and tossed it up again. Every time I post I get to wonder if it'll ever show up.

I can't hear you from my soap box.

Reminded me of the Michael Waltrip NAPA commercial.

He was at the wrong gate! Then at the wrong runway!

Maybe if he had spun out a baggage cart on the runway instead of flagging it down he'd have had more luck.
