Olympic Thread Day 4 (SPOILERS)

What's there to notice?

Either that or US-Japan.

Good point, it makes me wonder if there isn't a random draw and they just stick the US wherever those countries are.

No surprise here. That's just so their respective leaders can wave their pricks at one another.

Canadians are so nice, they let the other countries when they host, AND abroad.

That's the kind of talk you would hear....from a Canadian

/Suspicious

Let the other countries do better than them when they host.......sorry.

So you do pander to the Canadians! What do they do, offer you a lifetime supply of maple syrup?

No, they give me a lifetime supply of good Olympic coverage.

that is why i don't like you ssreporters...

You only get that every two years though. Man, those Canadians got you good.

Why? Because I get good Olympic coverage while the rest of you get NBC?

Now stop hounding me and go protest in Oklahoma City.

What's there to protest? I can't protest the right for Oklahoma to call itself a city, that's just disrespectful.

OKC Sucks!

Do tell...

Yes...

Stop commenting as much?

Canada will probably advance anyway. I don't see NZ or Japan winning, nor Argentina in Canada's group.

I still remember in 2003 when the Canadians led Sweden during the World Cup semifinals, which was funny to think they were closer to the final than the US (who got blown out by Germany the day before).

dude, we can all see the lane assignments...

Yeah, it's not like some of us are at work and can't stream anything online.....

And what will it take for you to leave me alone?

NOT SCOTLAND!!! Great Britain!

He led from start to finish, as Park Taehwan finishes with the silver and Vanderkaay finishes with the bronze.

Chalk up 2 more medals for the Americans, 1 more for Phelps and Park.

Phelps is just super human, and if he can win in the other relays I think he will get all 8 golds.

Anyone willing to bet he sets 8 world records?

Maybe......but the relays will be the key.

Ouch......they gave up more against Spain but at least they scored.

And she will go back to Jersey with a silver in the final of the 100m breaststroke.

Consider the track record in Spain with monkey noises at African soccer players and Luis Aragones calling Henry a black s**t, this isn't that surprising.

kthksbye

If fumes actually came out of your head,

1) I'm sure you'd comment about it without any hint of insight.

2) It might be the first thing that came out of your head that YOU produced.

3) For once, you actually might resemble something humorous.

4) One way or another, it'll come out because nothing ever STAYS inside your head.

5) Tomorrow is a new day - "Rinse, wash, repeat..." right?

If fumes come out of your head, you'll never make it as a doctor.

Manny, I'm gonna have to ask you to back down and stop the rude comments. Sure, SSR has been kinda whiny recently, but that does not justify ad hom attacks, nor does it justify your rudeness

yes, Ma'am...

Why don't you travel back two and a half hours in time to make your comments relevant. JuT handled this "situation" already.

Who is being rude? Or ad hom, for that matter? Perhaps next time you could message me? Maybe threaten to give me some demerits?

my response is specific to your comment above it, and I couldn't give a damn whether Justin addressed it or not. I'm not up for making bold threats or "demerits". I'm just simply telling you that I think you crossed the line in terms of what is appropriate. If you're going to be an ass, I'm going to call you out in public, Manny. There's a difference between being inappropriate and being just straight up rude, and in the second case, I'll call you out in public

blah, blah, blah...

Isn't publically calling me an "ass" in fact, acting rude and inappropriate? And I think you're crossing the line of what I think is appropriate because you took a clearly dead issue and are now breathing unneccessary life into it... isn't that what got you into so many messes before?

"Call me out in public", FP. I'd like to see it... What are you going to do, call the Obvious Police?

something about seeing on SSR's profile that he's leaving AGM gives me a hint that obviously something's up.

Additionally, something about addressing me as "ma'am" and then proceeding to assume that we've somehow moved on (when in reality, this is the second time Users have threatened to, or left, recently because of your insistence to mock people instead of actually respond) classifies you as an ass in my book.

But you want to know what? You can think i'm rude. I DON'T CARE. You've driven away several users because of your selfish agenda. That's a lot worse than anything I've done

1) oooh! You showed me!

2) People in ass houses shouldn't throw mocks.

3) Rude? Do you think I care if you care or not? I don't even care if you think I care if you care or not.

4) People come and go regardless of my actions - good and bad.

5) If SSR really leaves AGM, does that mean I get to be the Grand Marshall of the parade? Or do I even care? (It's rhetorical)

something about your stupid fights forcing several regular users to leave might have an impact on the quality of discussions and articles, Manny...

Maybe it's immature admins continuing to beat the hell out of dead threads for no apparent reason?

you act like just manny got sick of his shit...

he's a good kid, but he needs to learn a lesson (I hope his reading this too)...

Manny/Erik/Ekom/Whatever you wanna call him, can be a dick, he can be overpower, frustrating and what have you...and I've said that about it to his face (internet-wise) and behind his back.

Fact of the matter is, we all have to deal with each other

But beyond that, about a year ago (or so) many gave me, what I considered, some fairly valuable advice...which basically said, stop commenting so much...which was the #1 commenter telling the #2 commenter something...

I did slow down my commenting, but only because of his point behind that...which was, don't say (type) something unless its worth typing...

in SSRs case, it was more sitescout pollution than actual valuable (as valuable as they can be, i suppose) comments...

Other Users Manny's helped remove?

Tyrone/Jamel - Meh

Beast (give or take) - no comment from me

Niteowl - Yeah, that was all Manny's doing </Sarcasm>...those who kept their eye on the situation knew exactly what was going on

SSR - I hope he comes back, but he's learning a lesson in the process. Its great to have an opinion on everything and have lots of great thoughts, but its better to learn from others and acknowledge their strengths...

whoa, that was only supposed to be like a paragraph...sorry guys...

Looking at the way the Olympic doubles works, the Bryans have a nice advantage. Because teams have to come from the same nation, other top teams are temporarily broken up (after all, on the ATP tour nationality doesn't matter).
