Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

As soon as the last 4x400 ended (and the basketball game) my Olympics are over.

 

No way the IOC allows "Gone Fishing."

 

Or give it back, but smash it on the podium beforehand.

 

Who is smiling US track guy who hugs all of the top finishers and gives them flags?

 

Part of me thinks they’ve spent two weeks rewriting the closing ceremony to piss off
les Américains twice as much. So don’t dip out just yet.

 

Taking a break from NASCAR, where he changes the caps of the winner to reflect his/her sponsors?

 

Couldn't let that comment go without mentioning the immortal Bill Brodrick!

Catching up with NASCAR legend Bill Brodrick, aka 'The Hat Man'

 

And if she had made the team ... goodness gracious!

 

Not sure whether to laugh or cringe.

 

Watching Curry's finish for the first time in NBC's open. Even knowing it was coming, and having seen him do it so many times with the Dubs ... wow.

Also, a word about Steve Kerr. Five NBA titles as a player. Four as a coach. And now a gold medal effort (yes, I know only players get medals, but work with me). Hope last winter's "Fire Kerr" crowd on social media enjoyed that heaping helping of STFU.

 

Does HE know those sports, or does he read what researchers tell him about those sports? Think he'd heard of, say, Josh Kerr or Ayden Owens-Delorme before this month?
