Really been enjoying the games as well. I also liked the NBC Sports app this year (if you have FireTV or some other streaming device). Made it easy to find whatever event I want to watch.

US Men's Rugby 7's failed to qualify for the knock-out round.

US Women's Rugby 7's were beaten in the Quarters by New Zealand

Golf is under way. I hope Ricky Fowler wins. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and here is mine.

Jordan, Rory, Jason, Dustin.... You're all freaking lame.

Word is that Jason Days and Rory's absence has nothing to do with Zika, the IOC demanded that they wear adult size shirts and they immediately bowed out citing that they "can't play if their sweet guns aren't showing."

Kayla Harrison (judo) wins gold. I was impressed with her. She could get an arm bar on her competitors from any angle. Wow!

Fendrick/Sweat lose. :-( I don't think they would have advanced if they had won. :scratches head:

I don't even know how what she has been doing is humanly possible. I can't even stick a landing like that when I'm walking!

BTW, if Phelps gets to 24 golds, he will probably itch to go to Tokyo and try to snag #25 at 35.

Guy is unreal. He destroyed in that 200IM.

There is one player on the women's soccer team that is frustrating to watch. Other than that not much to complain about....Hope Solo has rebounded nicely from the Columbia game.
