Yikes.

Does Will Smith just take any part given to him as long as he’s a father either separated from his kids or lost them forever?

I feel like crying Will Smith has made a variation of this movie like 3-5 times already.

Commentator, in crisp English accent: Folks at home may be asking themselves, “How will he finish?” And, well, Depends.

And now he’s going to be disqualified for having the runs.

I’m really starting to get worried that this sort of talk is going to incite violence on election night. Because when he loses, the portion of ABSOLUTELY INSANE society that he has legitimized and riled up will be absolutely irrevocably convinced that the world has ended and they’re therefore free to go on shooting…

This reminds me of quite possibly the greatest “Choose Your Own Adventure” book ever written:

I believe 164 BCE was also the last time a Buffalo sports team was in the playoffs.

more like Leonidas of ‘Roids.

I see no problem with the underwater cameras, I see a problem with freaking out over seeing a woman’s nipple, especially in this context. They’re not sex objects, they’re athletes competing. This view gives a good look at a sport where a lot more happens under the surface of the water than the casual fan realizes.…

...You have 33 pending updates? Why not do them all?

Why don’t more swimmers do what Phelps just did? By the time you hit the wall you’re begging to breathe, which is why most of the other swimmers popped up to the surface like Goldfish looking for food after their kick off the wall.

What Phelps did has to be trained for. Most athletes performance would drop severely…

Men’s Swimming Olympic Gold Medals since 1896:

He entered thirteen hundredths of a second behind and handed off to the next leg a full second ahead. In a distance that is usually decided by those hundreths. The guys a swimming god.

The road stripes get very slick in the rain and that descent was tough, as evidence from 4 or 5 crashes in the Men’s race yesterday. Overall crashes are not uncommon, but I have never (in roughly a decade of causal) seen anyone flip, land on her head and not move like that.

So why should I stick to just two? You don’t really say why just that I should only have two while being socially awkward about it. If I need to drive or be somewhere early the next day then yes stick to one or two but if I have a ride/taxi/uber and everyone else is drinking and enjoying themselves why would I stick…

And do it in stride.

the cut of your jib, I like it.

I have a feeling he’ll find a way to overcome this relatively small obstacle in his path.

This is going to be a feel good story by the time that the Olympics are over.
