Did you know the Olympics actually start TODAY?
No, you didn’t miss the Opening Ceremony.
But for a slew of reasons in terms of venues, locations, etc.
two sports are starting before the cauldron is lit for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris.
I will say this very clearly:NOTHING TEAM USA BASKETBALL DID THE LAST FEW WEEKS MATTERS.
I bet you did.
Did you know that they lost two games in the lead up to the Olympics?
I bet you didn’t, or forgot, because it didn’t fucking matter.
Expect them to do that from the jump when they take on Sebria on Sunday.
There won’t be any toying around or playing loose.
They will lock in and show the world why they are the best… becausethosegames matter.
But nothing that happened these last five games will have much bearing on what you see happen in Paris.
Let’s all relax.
This is one of the most exciting 100m fields we’ve ever seen.
It goes from dead silence to an explosion of energy and sound.
It’s exhilarating and the highlight of every Games for me.
Unlike with the Men, the United States is favored here as Richardson is expected to take home Gold.
With that said, as always, Jamaica looms large.
I actually thinks both records fall this year.
Then it makes even less sense when you think about the fact these will be herthirdGames.
Gymnasts are lucky to compete at one Games, let alone two, and three is just fucking absurd.
It’s scary to watch it!
Do you think there is at least some kind of aesthetic there - low?
There is simply nothing to watch.
She has no great performance, only difficulty.
She only wins through difficulty."

Boo fucking hoo.
Excited to taste the tears of other nations as Simone Biles racks up more medals once again.
Until tomorrow, go Team USA.
Let the games (sort of) begin.
