No, but I'd take Aldis Hodge in one.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Uhg, really late night at the pool. Can't pick up MK until 7:45. Hope there will be time. I should have left early.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Olympics are TV. Whattya want?
Fiction! Or tennis!

No, no. That won't do. And your response better have been "That's what she said!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I remember tennis being in the Olympics. Steffi won. That was her Grand Slam Plus One year.

There are Olympics, and then there are Olympics. I've seen Olympics, and these are not the Olympics I'm looking for.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Are they going to give Bob Costas and whoever their own channel after the Olympics are done so they can talk about trivia and inspirational overcoming-adversity stories of American athletes 24/7 while the actual sports play unnoticed on a background screen behind them?

It's making me not watch things I'd like to watch, those idiot announcers, showing two minutes of sports with 5 minutes of drivel, then lots of commercials.

You know what? I'm going to go home and pop the Berlin IAAF games DVD into the player. My father actually gave me a Christmas present. First time he actually bought me something himself in over 20 years. Usain Bolt footage. Cutest thing ever. It will help get me over these doldrums.
