As a Northeast Ohioan, always fantastic to see one of our own do something awesome.

I’m watching the gold medal match for women’s sweaty, sticky tall leggy sand sport thingy and, I got tell it like it is, I’m a little overcome with patriotism right now.

God bless America.

Good last 12 hours for Team USA. Maligned teams like Men’s Basketball goes to gold medal game, Women’s Soccer gets a bronze and Baseball now close to moving to Gold medal game (up 7-1 on South Korea).

Nelly Korda killing it on golf (that family is the Bosa’s of athletics and you’ll see their names a lot - sisters in golf and brother in tennis).

Plus some track and field medals and wrestling.

Ignore the 4x100 Men screwing things up again.

Beach Volleyball “A-Team” Alix Klineman/April Ross going on a tear in set 2. Looking to walk away with gold.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Beach volleyball is nice.

Beach volleyball is nice.

Yeah. Like a statue.

So I am watching the women’s basketball team win gold and I think Sue Bird might be a lesbian. Not that it matters, just observing.

Also, watching a sport whet the men of Spain and the Netherlands are dusting off some hundreds of year old hate and throwing the ball in to a net on a hard wood floor while beating the shit out of each other…..But mostly beating the shit out of each other.

I am both entertained and perplexed by both venues but 100% “U…S..A” if it’s just fucking marbles.


Maybe more to follow. Maybe not.

Beach volleyball is nice.

Obviously not nearly the same, but two years ago my son was in a tournament championship match and scored 3 takedowns in 33 seconds to win it. I literally thought the world was spinning being both his dad and his coach.

I cannot imagine what Gable Steveson, his coaches or all of his family and fans went through but damn that's awesome!

 

[Honor&Glory]

Holy shit!!!

Kevin Durant put the US men's basketball team on his shoulders and carried them to a Gold Medal. They would never have won the Gold without him. Remember, Lebron James stayed home to promote his cartoon movie.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Kevin Durant is so good at the sport of basketball.

German coach went full Mongo.
