NBC Also Edited Out A Tribute Featuring Two Dead U.S. Servicemen From Their Opening Ceremony Broadcast

Phelps And Lochte No Match For Mighty French, Settle For Silver in Freestyle Relay
Welp, at least Ryan Lochte has some more silver hardware to add to his grill. The French came back to win the Men's 4x100m relay after the Americans had been leading throughout. France finished strong with a time of 3:9:93 and the U.S. foursome settled for second place with a time of 3:10:38....
U.S. Men's Basketball Players Get Hugs From Michelle Obama Despite Not Beating France By 75
Of course, much of this is self-inflicted with all the Dream Team comparisons but it is silly nonetheless.

Happy Girl, Sad Girl: Shawn Johnson And Dominique Moceanu Tell The Two Stories People Want From Their Sport
American coverage of women's gymnastics falls squarely into one of two camps: tales of plucky, lovable teens wearing their perma-smiles to the winners' podium, or exposés of the sport's seedy underbelly, of eating disorders, abusive training methods, of cruel coaches and broken bodies. It's either N...
Osi Umenyiora Thinks RG3 Should Be Called Plain Old "Bob Griffin"
