Me, too.

That USA Brazil match was great.

The water polo was mad decent.

Montenegro destroyed us.

They mentioned a stat that there are only 7 pools in their entire country. Wtf.

Handball is pretty BADASS

 

[Blitty]

Handball is kind of bush league though. Doesn't seem like it should be in olympics. Seems like something a few buddies would get drunk and play.

There is no ball boy or assistance. The ref has to chase the ball down and retrieve it when it goes out of bounds. And it's a running clock the entire time, while he's 'fetching the ball'.

Bush league.

 

[Mudcat]

Sounds kinda like how soccer works - except at least handball has a clock instead of some random choad keeping time as his own personal secret.

 

[Blitty]

True.

Difference is there isn't just 1 ref chasing the ball behind fences and under rafters.

Also the scoring is almost too easy in handball. The goalie never touches the ball.

I guess they took the negatives aspects of soccer and basketball, and passed it on to handball.

One of the richest and most popular athletes in the world.



Usain Bolt.

 

[Blitty]

Bolt just competed in his first event in Rio.

Next to him was Jahvid Best. Former Lions RB.

Best was competing for St. Lucia, where his father was born.

I read about Best days ago, yet the TV announcers never mentioned it.

 

[Matty]

Shit I missed that. I had Best on my fantasy teams for 2-3 years. Guy had like one decent year.

handball is good. seems like you get too many steps with the ball without dribbling though
