**** Olympics boxing scoring. It's one of the stupidest things in sports.

I don't understand this cycling stuff. Not sure if you guys watched, but two guys took about a ten second lead with five miles left and nobody in the main pack even tried to catch up. Very anticlimactic finish for the first medal of this Olympics.

Those guys would have been pretty damn tired. Half of that group broke off after 30km and powered in front the whole race. I'm not surprised they couldn't keep up, especially with such a wily vet in Vinokourov pushing out ahead.

Phelps looked okay in his first swim. He looked like he might have been taking it a bit easy to conserve energy. But he didn't sound to happy in his post swim interview.

He was lucky to qualify for the final... Wouldn't be backing him from one of the outside lanes to win.

This is the first time I've watched women's basketball since the last Olympics. Holy crap is this ugly. It's like watching HS ball.

This is why no one gives a **** about the WNBA. Women's basketball is soo awful. This game is terrible, they better switch out of it.

We no can dunk, but good fundamentals.

There's 4 minutes left in the first quarter and the score is 6-0.. with at least ten turnovers between the two teams.

I'm watching table tennis and archery but I will not watch women's basketball. It's just so bad.

I'd rather watch two midgets playing table tennis than this. Now i'm just watching for comedic value. The first quarter is almost over and Croatia still can't score a point. But they have like 17 turnovers though.
And i still stand by my statement that an All-SWDC team could beat the US women's bball team.

They even suck at the fundamentals. This is ugly.

Whoa. Whoever that is that has scored both Croatia's shots is GORGEOUS. Also, Croatia is 2/19.

Whoever she is, she's the only reason to keep watching.

Nice Skyhook from whoever that USA C is. By "nice" I mean to say "ugly, but it worked, unlike her other four attempts."

Alright, so this is what I have on TV for now.
Men gymnastics, Men beach volleyball, women's tennis, women's basketball.
Why couldn't it be the genders be reversed for each sport.
