Demarcus Cousins continues to look absolutely horrendous during the Olympics. Can't defend at all and his offense has been awful.

Ryan Lochte held up at gunpoint and robbed last night. Rio continues to set the standard in Olympic awesomeness

Very scary. With a week to go in the Olympics, it sounds like more of this will be happening. Once the athletes finish their events and start traveling around at night, look out. Getting robbed at gunpoint is frightening. Can you imagine if those thugs shot or killed one of the swimmers?

The crazy thing about Bolt is that he was terrible out of the blocks. He was last out of them. Then he started striding and passed everyone like they were standing still.

His 40 time would keep him out of the NFL Draft. The way he just gets faster in the second half of the race is amazing. He does it every single time.

Leslie Jones like beach volleyball a lot

AS soon as I said "oh my god hes going to lose" he kicked on those after burners and just ran down everyone, easily.

Bolt was literally cheesing for photos at the end of his race, lmao

It has also been cool to see the USA basketball team checking out some different events too. Saw them at the USA beach volleyball match last night, and swimming before.

I'm sure everyone's seen it by now but just an unbelievable photo. Hilarious.

There are a lot of empty seats at this track stadium. Seems to be a recurring theme at these Olympics.

Holy crap, how about the guy who went face first into the steeplechase hurdle. I don't know how that guy knows his own name at this point.

Someone on the radio was saying its because of all the corporate sponsorships that own all those seats. People would be willing to get tickets and go but McDonalds owns half of them and their people dont even bother.

USA men's volleyball into the semifinals.

So those Brazillian twins doing sync swimming? WOW

Justin Gatlin is a dumbass.

A kid from my HS, a year younger than me, is competing in the decathlon. He is currently 5th after 2 events. Zach Ziembek.

NBC currently airing a bronze medal beach match that happened 2 hours ago over the live gold medal game. Great coverage!

I played with 3 national champions and 2 gold medalists. It's super weird

Ryan Lochte's two swimming buddies were pulled off a plane home and not allowed to leave Brazil. The plot thickens...
