And speaking of "Hats off to the UK", who saw race 1 of SBK from Silverstone last night?

That would be one of the most spectacular races I've seen in a long time.

Haven't seen race 2 yet, the first one ended at 1:30 am down here, but I did have the presence of mind to hit the record button on the Sky box before I went to bed.

Default Stupid sport nomination

Apart from Synchronized Swimming of course.

Triple Jump - what is that all about?

Looks like a technique for crossing minefields.

Hey! How about this guy who trains for Judo, 5 minutes from my house?
American Judo fighter Nick Delpopolo who is the only one out of over 5,000 Olympians tossed out for drugs.

You can see him in a Coke commercial. He was all over local news and seen on the Today Show toady....until he got thrown out of the Olympics and stripped of Olympian status.

It takes 30 days to get THC out of your system. This dumb **** simply couldn't put the pot pipe down for two weeks. What a disgrace.

Never really thought of the old MJ as being a performance enhancing drug.

"Oh, so do I have to go and run now?"

"Really can't be bovvered aye"

"Man, I'm hungry"

^ Sad part is, he may have bumped someone that had a chance to participate or even to medal.

I was watching the women's team gymnastics and overheard Gabby Douglas say to a teammate, "We're Olympians". She said that with pride before they won gold or any other medals. It means something just to be in the games. Numb-nuts was stripped of that honer. Because he was thrown out he lost Olympian status.

What a total jack wad!
