Sums up the closing ceremony perfectly.

Pissed myself laughing - sounds about right.

When was Muse during the closing ceremonies? early on? or later in the show? D: Hope I didn't miss it.

NBC cut out the Muse and The Who from their broadcast, another thing to hate them for.

[Azull]

Didnt watch, in large part due to the commentary during the opening ceremonies. I can guess the choice was made something like "People will like this.. lets not show it and instead throw around petty insults to everywhere thats not America!"

Wait, people are blaming NBC for the hilariously horrible Opening and Closing ceremonies?

?

I thought people were just upset at NBC's editing of both ceremonies and lying about the reasons for the edits. Why would anybody be mad at NBC for the content of either?

Commercial about a sitcom with a monkey > Russell Brand fake singing into a megaphone.

Just hours after the close of the Olympics, a female shot putter from Belarus was stripped of her gold Monday in the first case of an athlete losing a medal for doping at the London Games.

With the disqualification of Nadzeya Ostapchuk, the gold medal was awarded to Valerie Adams of New Zealand -- who winds up as Olympic champion for the second time in a row.

The International Olympic Committee said Ostapchuk, a former world champion, tested positive for steroids both before and after winning the shot put last week for her first Olympic gold.

After an IOC hearing, she was formally expelled from the Games and had her victory and medal removed from the records. She was the eighth athlete, and first medalist, caught during the IOC's London drug-testing program.

Potential 3-on-3 basketball in Rio Olympics

3-on-3, that's a good one.

[Moss]

...it would be awesome

[Viq]

FIBA's 3-on-3 rules are not some And1 shit. It's literally international basketball's rule set played on half a court, with a shorter shot clock, a 4-man roster, and goofy 5 minute halves with a first to 33 clause.

I still fail to see how watching LeBron, Howard, and CP3 play against the Gasols and Ricky Rubio would be lame

Does anyone happen to know what that tape on the Chinese beach volleyball player was? It was on one of their backs during their bronze medal match versus Brazil. If it's something that relieves back pain or something to that nature I'd be interested in obtaining some.

[archibaldcrane]

That stupid kinesiology tape?
