no, but really
What the shit, NBC? Why do you feel the need to have Tom Brokaw give us an 8th grade history lesson? What about showing some highlight packages or some interesting stuff that didn’t make prime time? We have to sit through all of the beach volleyball, and then we have these dopey bits with Carillo and Brokaw, treating London like it’s some exotic place.
Could you get a more pitiful bunch of headshots? My goodness! Especially Mr. “I just woke up 10 minutes ago” on the left.
My favorite thing about Missy Franklin is how high her hair is when she piles it all on top of her head. She must be about 6’6”, including topknot. I can’t watch any of the livestreams at work, so I’m catching up now, and because it cannot be noted enough - UGH, Andrea Kremer.
This gentleman has a lovely smile. Mom expressed approval of his looks, noting that some of the photographs did not do him justice. Then I told her about his stupid grills, and she said, “I’m not so sure I like him anymore.”

That’s Olympics on 3 screens. Yep.
Uh, so it took 2 viewings of the USA swim team singing “call me maybe” to finally figure out who Ryan Lochte reminds me of, and it’s a really weird answer, but it’s an answer nonetheless - Gregory Smith. It’s not so much the looks as it’s the voice. Also, Rebecca Soni reminds me of Kristen Schaal. Also, goddamn, Missy Franklin.
OLYMPICSSSSS
There may have been a squeal that escaped my lips. But Bob Costas, guys. Bob Costas and his hair dye. I’m kind of embarrassed that I had a crush on him circa ‘96. Now I think he looks like a camel. A sanctimonious camel.
I am not usually All About mens’ bodies, but this one… this one, I like. Also, he reminds me of *someone* and I cannot figure out who, and it is driving me UP A WALL. The voice, too. (it could be celebrity or someone I know in real life. it’s going to to hit me when I least expect it, isn’t it?)

gymnastics trials - ladies
Aly Raisman and I share a first name, and therefore I am rooting for her. Also, she does her floor routine to Hava Nagila, and it is bouncy and wonderful. Nastia Liukin? Oh, girl.
Also, because Raisman is using her full first name, it means that the scoreboard cuts off part of her last name. I know how that goes!
swimmers, man
I just… I have crushes on so many of them. Both sexes. Andrea Kremer, though? Still The Worst.
