7-24 DE – Welcome to the Pre-Season Void Edition
Summer League gone, Training Camp far in the distance….nothing to look forward to NBA wise except pro-am exhibition highlight videos and the inevitable 20 pounds of muscle reports from the PF. At least we have the Olympics, where the only reason the Tall Blacks won’t beat Team USA is cos they didn’t qualify. Same goes for the soccer….just the other way around : P (sorry Jake).
Just to keep everyone’s spirits high, here’s a reminder of what we have to look forward to come October:
Stephen Chauncey Westbrook will win all the awards.

NEW DE
dang, lame performance in the relay too.
god dammit, China is going to kick our asses again
@jakesnake99 So much for the sport we always win, swimming.
Women's 400 IM now. Go Beisel!
@jakesnake99 Shit, China.
Wayne Drehs @espnWD
Bob Bowman as surprised as anyone. Said he didn't see that coming at all. Described Phelps' performance as "horrible."
@jakesnake99 Little clue in the morning but yeah...
LOL
"@hopesolo
Lay off commentating about defending and gking until you get more educated @brandichastain the game has changed from a decade ago.
Its 2 bad we cant have commentators who better represents the team&knows more about the game @brandichastain!"
dammit, wanted the Korean to beat the Chinese dude.
@jakesnake99 Who got DQed in the prelims but reinstated (the Korean).
Peter Vanderkaay is not impressed.
Vollmer is a beast
First time Phelps has failed to win a medal in an Olympic final since 2000...
It was once a lock that Phelps would get the 3 medals he needs for the all-time record but will he?
@skywaker9 (David) yes, on the relays alone its a lock.
@jakesnake99 Agreed.
Phelps has got to be sick or something. Shocking.
@jakesnake99 Yup.
wowzers.
wtf Phelps
wow, Lochte won the fly part... its over. That's Phelps's bread and butter.
AND THEY"RE OFF!
Oh hi Michelle Obama.

Here we go.
@skywaker9 (David) is it still a black screen?
@lindsaymills No I'm watching a live feed on NBCOlympics, some British announcing team.
@lindsaymills Try restarting your browser. That worked for me. NBC sucks.
@skywaker9 (David) I HAVE A BILLION TIMES. IT'S A BLANK SCREEN
@lindsaymills Refresh?
@skywaker9 (David) that's what i'm on!!!!
Well, it's time for some disc golf (conspicuously lacking from the Olympics, btw), so I'll miss the swimming.
Until then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZdJRDpLHbw
@Dan_tm hell yeah... where are you playing?
@ian21 Probably Pier.
@ian21 Yeah, I love Pier, but I've been advocating a different course today. We'll see if I can convince the guys I'm playing with.
@Dan_tm That is a nice course... might be a little busy today though... I'd pack an extra couple beers ;)
US medal ceremony for archery on MSNBC, wtf is the US wearing?
haha, you've gotta love Oly table tennis... Chinese dude representing Brazil leading Chinese dude representing Poland right now.
@jakesnake99 If you'd watched the Opening on NBC you would have heard Costas talk up the non-Asian table tennis countries (which probably import the Chinese, heck we do).
Fencing has cool intros.
@skywaker9 (David) when does Zagunis compete?
@jakesnake99 Italy going for a medal sweep here.
@jakesnake99 Tomorrow I think.
First USA gold coming soon!
@skywaker9 (David) In what?
@Dan_tm Swimming, think Lochte will win.
Colombia's free kicks are hilarious
@jakesnake99 Not if you're rooting for Colombia.
have a nice day everyone. i'm going in hiding until phelps/lochte is on tv
