king_tanner 84 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I understand how tough water polo is, but it is a really goofy looking sport. Especially when they're trying to fake out the goalie by waving the ball around in the air like a maniac.A lot of times they are doing that to wait for the goalie to drop also. They eggbeater their legs to get up high and often times the field player will keep pumping the ball until the goalie will tire out and drop low which will make it easier to score.

"I wanted to give him a good reason to flop," Batum said.2nd Edit: Batum, not giving a fuck:Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Finally, I asked Batum if he felt like his punch ultimately gave Navarro a 'good reason' to flop. "I hope so," Batum said. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This is how I felt watching some of the bicycle "races." There's one where it's a head-to-head sprint but one guy starts in front of the other guy and they go really slowly for a lap and then speed up. There's another one where they take it easy for like 9 laps and then every 10th lap they sprint, then slow down again for 9 laps. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/330382 Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Favorite moments were Usain Bolt's 3 golds (greatest sprinter of all time), Mo Farah's 2 golds (England went fucking nuts), and Katie Ledecky's 800m freestyle gold (she's the 15-year-old American, the youngest American to compete this year).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1x9HWWShHY Link to post Share on other sites
