The big Olympic story from last night Mary Maroulis amazing win in Women's wrestling She had to beat a legend, Japans Saori Yoshida, 13 time world champion, only lost 3 times in her entire career Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I wonder how much his fib will cost him in endorsements. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Ryan Lochte goes on the air tonight Matt Lauer is doing the interview. My advice Totally come clean. No excuses. The online apology was really weak. Gotta do better These have been a great Olympics. Plenty of naysayers predicted huge problems, especially crime Brazil and Rio have done an A+ job putting on these games Cant wait for Pyeongchang 2018 and Tokyo 2020 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I had a lump in my throat as he took the last lap. Fantastic stuff. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

I agree What an incredible runner He does it all. He lurks in the back and wins He takes the lead early and wins Amazing How about Matthew Centrowitz. 1st US winner in the 1500 since 1908. Best part was his family in the stands going nuts Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| buzzardknot Member since: Mar 16, 2015 Threads: 7 Posts: 497 | The olympics are just political in nature. Amateurs, my ass. Gave Jim Thorpe back his medals 70 years later, 30 years after his death. To this very day, the two men who Thorpe thoroughly trounced, Ferdinand Reinhardt BIE in the the pentathlon, and Hugo K. WIESLANDERin the decathlon, still appear on official website of the IOC as gold medal winners of those events. |

Don't think the Olympics has been truly amateur for about 16 years or more. The IOC is a corrupt organization, but the athletes are hardly to blame. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

I don't get this big deal between "professional" and "amateur" athletes. Not in the Olympics and not in the NCAA. Who really cares. The President is a fink. |

Yes, the IOC is corrupt, as are the individual Olympic committees in every country, but what does that have to do with the price of beer? Professionals have been allowed in the games since 1992 or so. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

The people at the top who don't want to end up paying for the talent, and keep the income for themselves? It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |
