Obviously Clark would single handedly give the team the goldThe Clarkless women's bb team is coasting over Japan in the 3rd. Still hard to watch but improving.

The Peacock streaming service’s Gold Zone Olympic coverage is excellent. It’s like NFL RedZone. They jump around to show all kinds of events, sometimes with multiple things on the screen at once. When there’s a medal decider happening, they linger on that.
Peacock covers every Olympic event, so if there’s something you want to focus on, you can do that without interruption.

Watched a little redzone playing golf one day. I laughed, was entertaining but like it was for people jacked up on Red Bull.The Peacock streaming service’s Gold Zone Olympic coverage is excellent.

Has nothing to do with us. Blame Olympic officials for not banning people who were banned by the world championships.

The US Men's Gymnastics team is a bit of a rarity: they carry one member of the coveted four spots on the team who only competes in ONE gymnastic event: The Pommel Horse. His name is Stephen Nedoroscik, aka "The Pommel Horse Guy"
It helps that he is capable of pulling off an incredibly complex pommel horse routine that almost always guarantees 15 points added to the US final score, which usually makes the difference in world-class competition.
He's also cross-eyed and almost blind as a bat without his coke-bottle glasses on, he takes them off seconds before competing (Just like Clark Kent" the announcers said)
Pommel Horse Guy was perfect yesterday and the Men's Gym Team took home the Bronze medal.

The men’s competition was the best thing I’ve seen so far when it comes to the traditional Olympic stuff. The women’s gymnastics winning the team gold was actually more impressive, but it’s almost become expected at this point. Simone was amazing as she fought through that calf injury. Suni Lee’s story was incredible.
The men’s 4x100 was pretty awesome as well. Caleb Dressel anchoring the race was pretty special. (The promo where they showed Michael Phelps a video of the Australians talking smack about the U.S. team and Michael Phelps becoming visibly pissed-off was pure Olympic’s “gold”.
A lot of good stuff going on at these Olympics. The French team is showing out at home, but…USA!!! USA!!!

On June 28th art historian Walther Schoonburg wrote on X “At #OpeningCeremony of #Paris2024, a tableau vivant (a living painting) of 'The Feast of the Gods' by Jan van Bijlert from 1635 (kept in the museum in Dijon) was shown. Apollo, the Sun God, is recognizable by the halo, and Bacchus by the grapes on his head.”
Someone said it looks a bit like the “Last Supper” From there a controversy was born and took on a life of its own. Including the morphing of the title to “La Cene Sur La Scene Sur La Seine.” A title which the Olympic committee never used by was used by many others promoting the games and their venues related to the games.
The sad part of this whole thing is the Fourth Estate didn’t quickly correct the error probably because controversy sells airtime. Certainly, the 99% of us who don't have a master's degree in art history would easily assume the tableau was a representation of the art we are familiar with “The Last Supper.” But at a closer look we’d notice that “The Last Supper” doesn’t have twenty-eight people in the painting nor does it contain a large purple guy as does the opening ceremony scene.
But worse than that people who know the presentation is not the "Last Supper" are not content with simply explaining it is another painting altogether but go out of their way to belittle those who didn’t recognize it wasn’t depicting the Last Supper. The truth is the vast majority of those busy mocking the “uneducated” had no idea it was depicting “The Feast of the Gods” until someone told them.
Most of all I blame the news media for not educating all of us but instead feeding into the controversy to sell airtime.

There was no controversy, just MAGAs doing their usual thing of creating an imaginary issue and pretending to be upset about it.
Sane people are just enjoying watching the Olympics.

It wasn't nearly as blatant as Piss Christ tho Piss Mohamnad would have had a completely different response.There was no controversy, just MAGAs doing their usual thing of creating an imaginary issue and pretending to be upset about it.

Do I seem upset to you? I'm merely pointing out how different religions respond to the desecration of their religious icons. For true believers there is nothing imaginary about it.

A bunch of Christians mistook a tableau vivant of a bacchanal for a Renaissance painting of the last supper.

It’s all in your head. Imaginary. Time to pretend to be upset about something else.
