🇪🇸✅🇺🇸 Olympics mens basketball USA Advances to the Semi Finals 

 
I may not have been posting, but I have been glued to the Olympics. I like it so much that I wish I could watch all the sports, or at least all the sports that the US is competing in. Saw this game and the one before it. Swimming, gymnastics, volleyball, you name it - and of course my old sport - track and field.

Believe it or not, I was on a relay team that won the Junior Olympics, held the national record and were just all around big time in the kiddie scene. Thank goodness I started young because I did not grow up with the body of an Olympian. The rest of me caught up with my then long legs along with too many curves. Oh well, I would not have had the discipline for it anyway.

But enough about the far distant glory days. I would love to go to the Olympics again what it comes to L.A. I was lucky enough to attend the last time and it was a fantastic experience. Yeah, I'm old. But you will never feel as patriotic as being at the Olympics shouting USA USA all day long. Tickets were by lottery so you have to apply for twice as many events as you can afford and hope for the best. We were pretty lucky with our draws and only got one dud which was the bronze medal match in men's basketball. It was like Hungary vs Bulgaria or some such uninteresting match. Had 3 sets for track, the gold medal women's volleyball game  (which we lost to China) and a couple nights of boxing back in the day when it was great. Saw Evander Holyfield before anyone knew who he was.

OK I've droned on long enough, but I don't have many people who are into sports like I am so I will be happy to hear any of your impressions on the Olympics. Simone Biles? Poor Connor Fields? 

 
@2earls wow! What an experience i only watch fiba on the Olympics because im a hugeeeee durant fan… whats the latest on simone? 

 
She came back and competed in the balance beam and got a bronze medal behind a couple Chinese gymnasts. I felt bad for her teammate Suni Lee because she ended up in 4th so I am sure she wished Simone had stayed out of it.

I have been conflicted about how I felt with Simone quitting. At first I had no sympathy and had the mindset that GOATS can't be quitters. Like someone said Tom Brady could not quit at halftime because he threw some interceptions and say he wasn't in a good head space. Then after I listened to her interview I thought who am I to judge? She is the one who will most likely suffer with regrets and "what ifs?".

As usual our men's team sucked. 

 
@2earls i think the media is making simone situation is worse than it needs to be daying she dosent have her ritZz crackers no thats debunked lol

  7. A @ AnnaSofia: @carterzeus Ronald is fairly new here so maybe he didn’t know what the SB is for. Looks like you’re new to the board, so welcome aboard. Anyway, yes we have an understanding that SB is just for basic BS and light convo. But sometimes people get in desperate situations and want to get advice asap. But it’s all good now. It’s more for safety to not air out certain things on the front page. Anyway hope everyone has a good day,
  8. Sakshi @ Sakshi: welcome @jillybeans ! :D

  10. jillybeans @ jillybeans: Hi everyone new donated member Wanted to introduce myself! I’ll read topics but ssnoto introduce myself first
  11. carterzeus @ carterzeus: Since when did people start airing grievances on SB? I miss the positivity here. Been seeing a lot of people flipping out. Is it a full moon or something?
  12. jillybeans @ jillybeans: I keep messing up my days 🙄I thought today was Wednesday
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Happy almost Wednesday! Fuck can't wait for this work week to be over. Much love <3
  14. A @ AnnaSofia: It’s totally ok @RonaldDonald i don’t own the place! It’s just for safety and stuff. My heart goes out to you. Lord knows I know how u feel. So many of us do. I’m glad we have people to lean on here.
  15. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: @AnnaSofia my bad. I’m just really down bad right now. And yes we are all over his thread. I’ll keep the SB positive I’m sorry.
  16. A @ AnnaSofia: Thanks @Deepnorth !!
  17. Deepnorth @ Deepnorth: @AnnaSofia absolutely. Sometimes I cringe when I look at the shop box because I never knew what I’m going to see but I think you worded it very well.
  18. A @ AnnaSofia: I got cut off. .. be careful that it’s not some non-verified vend trying to swoop in and scam if u do post “who offers it.” Amd finally, I know I’m guilty but try to keep this stuff to DM’s or the forum threads instead of SB. Good luck Ronald!
  19. A @ AnnaSofia: whoever you guys are talking about I hope you have posted your experience in his thread so people know. I agree with Layne that a brand new vend is more likely to want to save the day. But also be careful
  20. RonaldDonald @ RonaldDonald: @st1ckyf1ng4z I wish I could man. I’m rural and new to town idk anyone.
