I have said it before and I'll say it again. Water polo has got to be one of the most challenging sports there is.

Agreed.

The NBC decision to tape delay swimming stinks.

Ryan Lochte totally blew the 4 X 100 Free Relay gold with a turrible 4th leg after the first 3 guys gave him comfortable lead.

NBC showed Great Britain vs. UAE and completely missed one of the best soccer matches of the Olympics. Honduras upset Spain 1-0. Twice Honduras had questionable non-call take downs of a Spain player in the penalty box area. Lots of yellow cards, lots of referree shoving by Spain and a very high energy soccer game. Check out the tape delay and watch the final 20 minutes or so.

Thanks; I was trying to find something like that from other sites and failed. Looks like they're only televising women's fencing for some reason?

We have 25 channels with every single event on over here. So I watched the Spain Honduras match. Your right about what you said about the Spain game. The second time the penalty wasent given was a crazy decision from the referee, I have no idea how he didn't give that.

What to watch on Monday:

Women's Volleyball in the morning (US vs. Brazil @ 10:45 AM).
Women's Beach Volleyball at about the same time. Traynor/Walsh at 5 PM

Swimming-From 1:45 to 2:15 (17 year-old Missy Franklin in 100M Back, Matt Grevers also 100M Back and Soni/Larson could go 1,2 in 100M Breast).
Women's Water Polo (US vs. Hungary @ 1:40 PM)

I enjoyed men's and women's rowing today and men's volleyball. I tried the men's water polo but could not get into it. I will watch tonight and see what is on.

Those swimmers are ka-raaazy

[El Caliente]

Dude, Olympic boxing is weak. The padding. The constant separation. So much dancing around because all you need is a lead after 2.

I like all of the events, but boxing is lame.

Looking forward to the Women's 100M Dash this Friday and Saturday:
It appears that a Jamaican sweep may be in order, but keep your eye out for Tulane graduate Gloria Asumnu running for Nigeria:
