USA about to lock up the gold on the final rotation. Congrats Team USA!!

By far the worst Olympic viewing experience for me was in 2008. I was watching the primetime block (8pm-12 midnight) on the Left Coast one evening. NBC showed endless taped gymnastics prelims as they continually promoted the upcoming 4x100 freestyle swimming relay. They went to the pool at about 10pm, and there was a…

And using the freestyle leg of his 400 IM is a bad argument, after the third leg he was ahead of world record pace and clearly faded badly the last 50 meters. Ye's time was 23 seconds slower than Lochte's - maybe the freestyle is her best stroke and his worst.

That's strange, I thought the "not funny" version of Grown Ups was called...Grown Ups

Subtle yet brilliant. +1

Ha!

"You should talk, Dwight."
