OK, this thread has had a dearth of hot Olympians... Alex Raisman Don't even know what country, but they're good: Don't know who Hazel is, but yes: Makes me want to investigate Paraguay as a place to live: Never liked tennis all that much, but man, are some of the women hot: Field Hockey, or maybe New Zealand, are things I need to look into: They're not the hottest, but they're the best in the world, and that makes them super hot: Kinda pretty, but oh my god, look at those abs: That's an Olympian? Yes, for shooting. So hot: I wanna get to know this girl: Looks like an entire hot team:
I just watched synchronized swimming. I feel, well, disturbed. I'm especially disturbed because I want the Australians to win solely because they swam to AC/DC's 'Back in Black.' They get a gold from me, anyway.
Some more of Ms. Furrer for good measure. A cute girl just posing with a gun is one thing, but a cute girl that can really shoot is a whole 'nuther ball game. They would have won by a landslide if they picked "Big Balls" or "Givin the Dog A Bone" or "Whole Lotta Rosie"... so many great choices.
I know a lot has been made of the hot ass girls playing field hockey. Trying to watch this shit makes my eyes bleed with the Boise state Blue field and Malibu Barbie pink sidelines. Now if they allowed pillow fighting after the girls pulled the other's uniform over their head, that could, possibly, make up for it.
That field is terrible, but my god if the Netherlands aren't everything they were advertised attractiveness-wise.
If the women weren't so hot, field hockey would be absolutely unwatchable. It's like women's ice hockey, but without any of the excitement, action, or speed.
Since my old high school was one of the best field hockey schools in the U.S. - Eastern High School in N.J., I totally am into the field hockey thing. I'm kidding, couldn't care less about chicks with sticks with dicks. BORING.
Women's ice hockey isn't exciting, fast, and doesn't have good action. Sorry for the haterade but as a lifelong hockey player womens hockey is pretty equivalent to womens basketball. I'm all for women competing, its just not as exciting or skilled as the mens game. Field hockey would be better without that dam scoring arc and if they could kick the ball. It seems like half the strategy is to get penalty corners. So what if the ball hits their foot or hand incidentally, who decided that should be a penalty, its nonsense!
In case you're an Olympian reading this thread, and you wanted to know if you might use some of your Olympic village issued condoms, here's a handy commentary: posted here Also, includes a pretty hilarious dancing Serena gif. I think I saw The Dancing Serenas open for Blue Oyster Cult.
Bill Simmons retweeted this... Kinda funny that she can laugh at herself: <a class="postlink" href="http://instagram.com/p/OMsVFpKieZ/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://instagram.com/p/OMsVFpKieZ/</a>
Yeah, that's pretty good - good for her that she's got a sense of humor. It's three teenage girls - I wonder how long they had to try and get that photo without them cracking up.
Well, fuck NBC, and fuck their bullshit primetime coverage. Maybe a few weeks late but the bullshittery tonight pissed me off. Ive been keeping track of women's indoor volleyball for WEEKS now. I should have just watched it streamed in its entirety earlier today. I wanted to watch it on TV. I like the HD coverage on a 50 inch screen I didn't mind giving NBC my business. I waited and avoided websites and the news.Here's the point by point breakdown as hosted by Bob Costas: (last five or six points of a US dominant first match) And what you have been watching is the women's final indoor volley ball. The US takes the first match in stunning fashion winning by ten points. Coming up the end to the women's final...(commercial break)... And now back to the women's indoor volley ball final. After the first match Brazil came back to win the next two and we rejoin the game in the last remaining points....(Brazil stomps US in the last two minutes of play). And we're back, Brazil taking it's second gold in consecutive games. Now for a replay of that Mexican announcer yelling GOAL so I can make another tired, shitty, pun about how long he screams. Sign off. Fuck you. Eat shit if you don't like our coverage.
For those of you whom didn't see the above, I have only this to say about Kahn's characterization of the above events: They are disturbingly accurate. I think 'NBC' stands for 'Never Been Covering.'
