NBC Thread - Day 8 - Fluffier Than Downy

[london_calling]

in gym i once broke one of the ceiling lights serving (badly)

that's all i think of when i see volleyball on tv

I was terrible at serving in volleyball. I think I may have done it once successfully. When we had to play in gym my team always hated me because I couldn't serve.

[Prancer]

Watching volleyball brings back bad gym class memories for me.

That's how I feel about track and field.

I actually liked volleyball.

(Secretly hoping for a hurdle wipeout to inject some entertainment into tonight's broadcast)

I got a D in volleyball in Jr High. Worst. Grade. EVER. for me. I about it now, but seriously... who gives a kid a D in gym when they actually show up to class and try their best? (ok, so I'm sure I was worse looking than those badminton teams... but still...)

[Skittl1321]

I didn't mind serving in volleyball because it didn't involve a ball flying at me, and we did it "underhand". I sucked at volleyball. It terrified me. In middle school I was like 4 feet (I'm only 5 feet tall now) tall and totally unathletic.

Thankfully we were passed for just getting into uniform and putting in a minimal amount of effort.

I remember a lot of kids were insanely competitive in gym class and always acted as if we were in a gold-medal match.

The track and field commentators never shut up. They're right up there with Sandra and Scott.

i LOVED dodge ball but at my school we called it bombardment, lol
if it ever makes the olympics, i will quit my job and train full time

I took a 6-week summer gym course to get my high school credit. There were 10 of us. We went bowling about twice a week, and the only time we had to run was around the track once. And we did Tae-Bo in an empty class room. Easiest gym credit EVAH.

Why would you choose a coach who has had numerous athletes test positive for doping? Sounds like a Trevor Graham situation...

But yeah, innocent until proven guilty.

[my little pony]

[FSfan107]

Yep.

[Fridge_Break]

Yes, that would be Pharmalita. 'Roiding her way to a 1st place finish!

Erm.. until she's proven guilty.

[rfisher]

Synchro swimming starts tomorrow. Not that NBC is likely to show any.

OT: I guess Arnold had to go back to making movies to pay that new child support. (new movie commercial)

[ilovepaydays]

Goodness, that avocado in the Subway commercial looks like the grossest stuff ever. And you know it probably looks worse in person.

[Lacey]

Um, was that Nigerian with the red dyed on black hair wearing a wig or her real hair?

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like a wig to me.

[Prancer]

Another vote for wig! And a bad wig!

It will get old soon, but for now, this Malibu commercial cracks me up.

[Jimena]

I think it's a really bad weave.

I was actually impressed with the NBC Jeter fluff (shocking!). They addressed the rumors head on gave her a chance to refute them but were pretty impartial about it. They even referenced both Marion Jones and Flo-Jo.

She never actually said "I don't dope" though.
