The physical difference between the Chinese and the Americans is insane.
I think any song is probably appropriate for drinking, but the British are weird so who knows?
Really?

A "popular song" for a British men's social club = a song men sing when they're drunk off their arse. AKA a "drinking song".
Considering I never went to the bar and sang songs specifically written for drinking how would I know what a drinking song is?
Have you never watched movies that have British men drunk off their arse? There are plenty of them out there. Just because you never participated in something like that doesn't mean you can't know what it is.
I was saying the same thing the other night when he kept his coat on after the 4x100 relay started. I mean I get you wanna stay warm as long as possible, but stuff happens! Guess a 21x gold medalist probably knows better than I.
that was fantastic. These girls are just out of this world. Loved Aly's floor routine. Watching the Chinese ones on floor right before really makes you appreciate how much better the US women are. Simone is unbelievable.
Oh, and for the record...

Unless I had this "drinking song"/Star Spangled Banner argument in another thread - I can't keep track anymore.

Ledecky and Lilly King both holding off those swimmers closing on them was so impressive.
Edit: I'm way behind.

That guy spent half the race looking to see where Phelps was.
I think him trying to get into Phelps head made him get into his own head. Also, L O L at him not even placing.
Entertainment from the era before "sports bars" and canned music. Just because you've never done it doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere in the world. Ever heard of "Oktoberfest"?
Bier her! Bier her! Oder ich fall' um, juchhe!
Soll das Bier im Keller liegen,
und ich hier die Ohnmacht kriegen?
Loosely translated:
Beer here, beer here, or I'll collapse. (Hooray)
Should the beer remain in the cellar
while I'm here, fainting?
IIRC, the Irish have some pretty good tunes also...
Did anyone else end up getting spoilers. I found that to be extremely irritating. I mean I completely get posting something right after it airs, but Sportscenter posted something well before it was on NBC. I understand when I'm behind on DVR but if I am watching the coverage live then I shouldn't be seeing spoilers.
Isn't most of the prime time olympic nbc stuff tape delayed stuff that happened much earlier in the day? If you really were watching live there would be nothing to spoil.
Yeah, heard on the radio that women's gymnastics won gold. Not that I was likely to watch, but for those who were, that would be irritating.
As far as I know only the gymnastics is. Like I said the key is once it airs in the US you should be free to announce it. The problem is unless you went and watched it on the internet you couldn't have seen it yet.
NBC nightly news announced the gymnastics team won right before NBC's coverage began. An odd choice by them.
