I don’t know when we collectively decided to designate Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav as America’s cultural ambassadors for these games…but I am here for it! 
Also, if you didn’t watch women’s rugby sevens over the weekend, you missed out. One of the best events I’ve seen in a long, long time. Ilona Maher is a certified bad-a$$.
Lastly, could we stop the freaking pearl-clutching over the opening ceremonies now? Good lord, it makes us look utterly ridiculous.
I won’t stand for this smut you’re posting, sir! And when I get finished with my meeting with the Ladies’ Temperance League, I’m going to organize a fully-frocked March down Main Street to protest these unconscionable indiscretions! The stonings will commence at a later date!
They have a standard length and width but not depth according to my swimmer son. This pool is 2.15 meters deep which is roughly the same as the temporary one they used for the US Olympic trials. There are some who think that a greater depth of at least 3 meters leads to less turbulence and faster swim times but there is no complete consensus on that idea. We were discussing the pool depth the other day in fact and he is not convinced. He is an engineer and a swimmer so I will defer to him. This might be an interesting topic to bring up with him when we come by at the first tailgate even.
To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.

Really love what FF did in terms of monetarily sponsoring the women’s water polo team and also supporting other women’s sports – just fantastic.
I wonder if this is anything like the secret parties that are rumored to take place in Draper from time to time.
Only if there are exchanges of spouses – so I’ve heard. haha
The Black Bear Diner commercial with the bear doing a men’s gymnastics routine is the very definition of a bridge too far.
I’m not going there ever again… at least not until that one waitress who winked at me gets out of rehab.
FWIW, the first person I know that passed on this information was my former pastor. Not all of us are pearl clutching, reactionary ignorant nuts.
The term took a dip in the latter half of the 20th century, but has experienced a revival as of late.
That just goes to show you, the pastor always repeats itself.
USA Women’s Rugby 7!!! Bronze medal! It’s USA’s medal of any kind since 1924.
Jimmer is playing for the US in 3 on 3 Basketball on Peacock right now.
In the spirit of the Olympics, I’m happy for him and hope they do well.
Wooooow. Jimmermania is back. Ferdette is repping Team USA in 3 on 3 BB. Going to war against Serbia. He looks like the stereotypical tryhard wardball guy that he apparently is.
I’m rooting for the Serbs because I’m that petty.
Well, we just lost to Serbia. They cut to table tennis.
I’m rooting for everyone on the court who’s playing defense…guess that means everyone but Jimmer.
That must be Zamfir’s distant relative on the pan flute? Now it all makes sense…
Not sure what’s going on behing those columns. Don’t look/ Don’t ask.
ADDENDUM:
Vicious headlock into body slam there.
NBC doesn’t cover Greco Roman wrestling much, but it’s a wonderful way to get your neck (or someting else) broken.
Some language in the hype video for those who are concerned
