Looks like the Olympics already started.
USWNT made a comeback against France. They were down 2 goals.

Holy moley that match had 6 really nice goals, including a couple of long strikes from outside the box. It's called "the beautiful game" for a reason.
Something I just learned this week -- soccer's official/ traditional/ formal name isn't "football," it's "association football."

Probably old news for some, but the London Olympic mascots are really one-eyed monsters?
Speaking on one eyed monsters, I saw this commercial recently that mentions the one eyed monster at the :32 mark
Play Stompeez
Stompeez are essentially animal slippers that make various movements when you stomp your feet. Some have ears that flop up while others have opening mouths. They currently come in the following styles: Sir One-Eyed Monster, Growlin' Dragon, Be-Bop Bunny, Unusual Unicorn, Perky Puppy, Playful Blue Puppy, and Peek-A-Boo Kitty.

Just moved to Australia for a job a month ago, all Olympics broadcasts are live here. That sounds great as then I don't have to try and avoid sports websites to keep from finding out the results until the tape delayed broadcast that NBC does. The horrible part though is that with the time difference, the events pretty much all take place between 4pm and 9am local time. The Opening Ceremonies actually start at 5:30 am here. So much for a normal sleep schedule over the next few weeks.

It really is ridiculous that they treat the Olympics as programming that can be shown when it fits into the NBC schedule and not as a news event to be covered live as it happens.
Note: the above comment is completely not predicated on the fact that my favorite film director is running the Opening Ceremony and that I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles is due to be played during it at some point
