Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

I do, too, but we’re outnumbered by 100 million or so.

 

NBC to cover Opening Ceremony live tomorrow, starting at 1 EDT. Hosts: Tirico (of course), Kelly Clarkson (huh) and Peyton Manning (Manningcast of the Parade if Nations!).

 

Je l'ai réparé pour toi

 

Tirico: "Hey Peyton, do you know where Dylan Travis of the men's 3x3 basketball team and Duncan McGuire of the men's soccer team are from?"

Peyton: "Omaha! Omaha!"

 

I don't mind outing myself and I can't help you if you run into the paywall but here's a little something to get you through the whole telecast. I regret that I forgot Peyton Manning was involved or I would have come up with like 10 more 'triggers.'

Nice launch angle and exit velocity on that one. Touch them all ...

 

Just glanced at the tennis draw. If Nadal manages to get past Marton Fucsovics in the first round (that's not a gimme) he gets Djoker in the second.

 

Recruit a couple of dudes from San Quentin.

 

Watching France-Hungary women's handball. French coach reminds me of Geno Auriemma, so I'm now rooting against France.

 

I like watching the "weird" sports like handball - the stuff you never see on US TV. Seeing the pros play their sports in the Olympics really doesn't interest me.

 

So who lights the flame? Killy? Zidane if they go non-Olympian?
