    Well, I wasn't gonna say the result for those that haven't seen it yet, but yeah, that miscalculation at the end cost him.

    Basketball between Argentina and France just started a few minutes ago. Should be good, both teams are pretty talented.

    you guys are overreacting. he ran the fastest leg in the whole field of the last relay, he can't control his teammates choking. he was fastest swimmer in field and choked before touching wall today, and 400 IM isn't his event. i don't think he expected to sweep golds like he did last olympics.

    what time is the 4x200 free? he'll get a gold there.

    Lol, Ginobili tried to take a charge against Tony Parker; Parker runs him over and makes the layup.

    I honestly do not understand what you are trying to do here. You have been trying to rile up the other posters for verbal fights one after another. Please don't try to bring this website down to the ESPN boards level.

    The chance of us team crash while in the team bus is much less than 1/2000.

    you bet $2000 to get $1?

    BTW, glad Scola is gone because his flopping right now against France is beyond pathetic.

    Anybody that has $100,000 is not gonna risk it to win $ 50, however small the chance of failure is

    True, if it was 100-1 some people might be tempted.

    On this dope charge ... I am dubious about the whole sports, not just one or two atheletes. They all use it if it helps. The loudest one is not necessarily innocent.
    Dope should just be allowed for all sports so to create a level playing field, because all of them one way or another uses dope.

    could you elaborate? im not very knowledge in what happened in past olympics but it sounds like you are implying that this girl deserved to get cheated out of at least a silver medal?

    Just search Roy Jones. Basically, he should have won against a South Korean fighter, but was cheated.
