Flipped to Mens 10m air rifle. Way too technical. Put a goddamned empty beer can out there and see who puts the most holes in it...

You should've saw, I think it was "Dateline" years ago, when they had an Olympic Air Rifle competitor go to a carnival and not be able to hit the target.

But the carnival said the sights were all good.

On the NBCOlympics.com fencing feed, all you see is a Korean woman sitting on the stage by herself crying.

The French will never admit they're wrong (in anything). And there are many French on the Fencing international body, who is handling the protest (to the loss).

Don't know if anyone is following, but the USA Boxing team was 4-0 so far after yesterday, and the dude from Cleveland won his first fight. Ramirerz's was really interesting (boxing is always on CNBC), lots of scoring, lots of points. Plus, unlike some of the gawd-awful commentary they have in most other sports, I actually like Teddy Atlas at the mic, I can really follow a fight that he is calling.

I watched a couple of boxing matches the other night and the one I could not understand was the one with the boxer from Cleveland. It seemed like he knocked the guy down with about 10 seconds to go and the other boxer got back up undefended and the guy from Cleveland gave him a few more shots and there was 0 seconds displaying on the clock. Don't understand why the referee let the guy from Cleveland hit the other guy a few more times after there was no time left. Plus, the referee called it a technical knockout but made no gesture that the fight was stopped. Also, I don't like the new scoring with the judges determining what is a good punch.

Teddy Atlas has gone apefuck on the scoring...they showed a guy last night who landed, I think it was 6-7 punches, got credit for only 2, and lost by 3-4 points. I mean they detailed the shit out of it on replay and basically said the system sucks armadillo wang. I think they'll change it...again...soon. The idea that guys get points for "landing the most punches" each round is stupid as shit too, because that's either more subjective still, or else WTF were they scoring in the first place???

Well, obviously the pressure of maybe winning a feathered roach clip or ASIA mirror far outweighs any little ole' Olympic medal. He must have folded like a cheap lawn chair...
