Spurs

"Conor, no, don't throw those cans, Conor, CONOR!"

Conor is totally getting grounded you guys.

I wish I could agree but it won't load on Youtube for me.  

British girl getting robbed by the boxing judges, what a surprise.

But the girl she fought is a (distant) cousin of mine, so meh.  

Doncaster.

My mum's ex-boyfriend is from Dundalk, I have a staff shirt from some pub in Dundalk hanging in my wardrobe.

Can I do my week 1 pick already? Gonna be rather swamped from this afternoon until some point after next weekend.

What's with the shock about an Algerian newspaper reporting about an Algerian player?

Yes!

The home kit on the right picture makes it look like he's been drooling.

Competitors still take the event very seriously at least in Tennis. I think it can have it's place in the Olympics, it hasn't been for 'amateurs' for some time now, but the attitude of all the golfers isn't encouraging.

Maybe these sports should all do what Football does and have it for U23s or something? I guess that'd not really work in Golf but still.

In a sport like tennis/golf, you could have it be for like people in a certain range of the rankings.

I always thought the Olympics was for amateurs. Golfers aren't exactly amateur, plus why would they care about a gold medal when they could earn a million on a PGA tour.

Yet Neymar is playing football for Brazil U23s

Blame the athletes, for going too early. A small portion of the Dutch athletes (the handball and women's hockey team) went as well, same kinda issues, are staying in the olympic village anyway.

You leave the Dutch lean alone.  

I prefer the one that said "sign someone that runs like Velma of Scooby Doo"

Shame for Dumoulin, hopefully he at least goes on and wins the gold in Rio, assuming he'll probably step down from the Tour the next few days too.

Great stuff from Froome today, hate to admit it, hope Mollema finishes on the podium.

That Wijnaldum picture is definitely photoshopped.

And in another doping scandal..

Chad Mendes suspended for 2 years.

Froome's lead got reinstated, he's back in yellow.

Rumours going around that Lesnar will end up with a payday close to $10million apparently.

We'll probably never know the exact figures. But his salary was 2.5m

And who else will instruct people not to vote people off, but to beat them off?

Why do UFC's main cards start so late?

Because it's only 7pm in Vegas?
