Bryson tests positive for Covid and is out of the Olympics. He will be replaced by fan favorite Patrick Reed. 

Strangely confused that his disqualification wasn't for something else.

NBC showing the USWNT game vs. NZ. All our women stood for the anthem and actually faced the flag. I wasn’t expecting to see them do that.

More importantly the 6-1 win has helped boost their goal differential in case it comes down to a tie breaker.

Meant to say this earlier...

I think it's bullshit that a basketball and baseball player were our flag bearers. Why not let an athlete from an obscure sport that gets absolutely zero recognition have the honor?

Japan’s Abe Hifumi and Abe Uta took “family goals” to a new level at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on Sunday.

The siblings made history by becoming the first brother-sister duo to win Olympic gold medals in individual sports on the same day. On top of that, they did it in the same sport and won their medals within minutes of one another at the Nippon Budokan.

USA showing combat sports today. Watching women's boxing right now. 

Yes, i know the men's bball team is on right. Tried to watch it, but it's basically the same as watching the NBA.  Boring.

Excuse me? How can you not know the Bruins?

I've changed my mind.... Go Blue!

[Lou]

FYI, there are 40 current and former Bruins participating in these Olympics (plus 3 alternates and 7 coaches)

i don't know them because this is probably the least discussed mens' BB team in the last 40 years.

so who's there from westwood?

[Tank]

Jrue Holliday and Zach LaVine. Kevin Love would have made it 3, but he was replaced due to injury.

Part of that may be because the NBA Finals just finished and they haven't played that many games as a team.
