Lesser-Sports, Greater-Sports, and A Whole Lotta Snarking: NBC Olys Day One

Sam is so pretty. :swoon:

[Theatregirl1122]

Did they just show Sam's second vault and pretend it was his first?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

I think the gold will be a fight between the US and Japan. They both have room for improvement.

Meh, why do we need open ceremonies fluff? At least show Branagh again if they must annoy me with it. I'd kinda love Branagh, either as himself, or in character as Lockhart, giving summaries or commentary on all the events, honestly.

Lockhart, please. Gilderoy would have competed and won everything. Or he could do it as Hamlet...


Hey Jude made no sense to me. Should have chosen Why don't we do it in the road? Would have been applicable to many sports.

Or, considering the future doping results - he could have done "Band on the Run"? :shuffle:


They just showed a preview for The Expendables 2. I don't think I can handle that much testosterone.

Or that much bad acting? :scream:

Lol, so during this commercial break, 3 out of 4 commercials were about Lochte :rofl:

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

It kinda freaks me out when the guys catch a release in mixed grip.

[Theatregirl1122]

All those abs move a lot of product...

They mentioned Michigan! Which is currently the school featured on all of my clothing. :cheer:


So they're totally doing this talking up his mental state already knowing he fell, right?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

That music will probably be used for a future Plushenko non-fluff.

Orozco is so adorable, and his mom amuses me.

[my little pony]

john's mom might want to skip comps and smoke some weed. she worries me.

[dbell1]

:lol: Doggie Paddle commercial.

I'm getting sick of the shots of nervous mom in the stands. Get that woman a tranquilizer flag for her hair.

[Matryeshka]

I'm such a cynical beyotch, sometimes I wonder if that's really concern or more of a look-how-concerned-I-am! I'm concerned mommy of the year!

[numbers123]

john's mom might want to skip comps and smoke some weed. she worries me.

I think it is cruel that they keep showing her in panic mode. Give her some ativan and a private viewing room.

Orozco seems like such a cutie. Just adorable.

I wonder if they're going to show the Russians at all.

They were in a later subdivision, so maybe later.
