I agree Yogi ... that's the only thing I turned off this afternoon 
I agree - I don't want to see women knocking each other about - it's just wrong IMO 
This sport has also been described as MURDERBALL!

Sooz, that ad disgusted me on so many levels. Apparently most of the complaints made were concerning the abuse of the cat!

Yup
Haven't caught lots of it, but what an inspiration our boys and girls have been! Makes you proud to be British (vicariously naturally).
On a personal level, I've even started to exercise again after many years of slobbery. Can't say it's wholly the Olympics but if they can work their guts out for excellence then there's hope for us all in whatever little ways we can make our own efforts. IMO of course.
In a week or so it will be back to our millionaire prima donna wanker footballers, with their squalid, shallow and avaricious lifestyles of 'roasting' pissed up teenage girls from nightclubs. Prem footballers moaning that they want ÂĢ50k a week rather than ÂĢ40k. 
Do the US only get the Olympics on repeat or something? They seem to only discuss it around 2-3 in the morning
Would've thought they'd see it all live as it would only be morning to midday over there when everything is on.

No way they would put up with that!
I went to bed late last night with a huge smile on my face.
There has been some great moments but it sunk in - Andy Murray beat Roger Federer in straight sets to win an Olympic Gold medal at Wimbledon. Gives me a nice warm feeling just typing that.
Well done Andy

Yes ....................I would imagine a lot of folk are at work when it's going live.
Her in Britain when the Olympics are being held in a different time zone we do get some live coverage but the main shows are on at a 'sensible' time.
I may have been not quite awake this morning, but I swear brekkie telly (on ITV) had a photo up and referred to Beth TWEEDLE.
