Enormous F-up in fencing

Well that's heartbreaking.
Is that French figure-skating judge also the timekeeper/decision maker for epee?

If what's right isn't clearly written, maybe you should just give it a little logical expletiving thought? Of all the solutions... Oh, international athletics.

No kidding. And what's this ridiculous business about having to pay cash to get a decision appealed?

NBC Edited Northwestern Alum Jake Herbert's "Baba Booey" Out Of Olympic Opening Ceremony

http://www.sippinonpurple.com/2012/7/29 ... baba-booey

We'd touched on how former NU wrestler Jake Herbert qualified for the Olympics - hey, Mike Riordan from SB Nation combat blog Bloody Elbow predicted Herbert would win gold in the 84 KG freestyle! - however, if you watched the opening ceremony on NBC, you didn't see Herbert or former NU swimmer Matt Grevers. Grevers most likely just didn't happen to find his way, but with Herbert, it's a little bit of a different story.

If you watched the BBC live-stream, you would've seen a camera find Herbert as the American team walked out. He then turned to the camera to deliver a brief message - "Howard Stern! Baba Booey!" - before continuing on. However, NBC took the event out of the broadcast. '

It turns out Herbert is a really, really big Howard Stern fan. He appeared on the show to announce his plans to say Baba Booey on camera at the Olympic games - he plans on doing it 69 times, apparently.

Herbert has since reiterated his plans on giving 69 Baba Booey calls during the event via twitter, and although his initial attempt was edited out, he plans on having one aired eventually.

Gave you a nice shout out during the opening ceremony's of the Olympics. NBC edited it but I'll get gold and then do it again unedited deal?

That is the sort of suppression of freedom of speech that just doesn't bother me at all.

Swimming announcer: "So much strategy in the relay".

Yeah - jump in the water and swim your ass off.

If you're Michael Phelps how do you not walk around Olympic village every night wearing nothing but your 19 medals and that laurel wreath from 2004 with a [expletive]-eating grin on your face?
