Obama Can't Close Shit

So your 2016 Summer Olympics host city is Rio De Janeiro and I couldn't be happier. The global community's love affair with Obama had to end sooner or later and it was nice to see the IOC not get bullied around or pressured into picking Chicago.

It will be the first time the Olympics are held in South America which is really surprising and disappointing if you ask me. It's safe to say they were overdue.

The only downside is having to wait 7 more years and suffer through the 2012 Summer Games in London before we get there. London's only slightly more desireable than Chicago and I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of Jim Lampley or Bob Costas taking us on virtual tours of The Big Smoke. On the other hand, Jim Lampley being detained by the Peelers for boxing his wife again could make for quite the interesting side story.

USA 2 Brazil 3

Well I actually did sit down and watch this game. I know next to nothing about soccer, but I have to say it was entertaining. USA came out strong and were able to take the lead early, but after that we witnessed how much better Brazil really is. Tim Howard, who plays goalie for USA, was unreal (he also looks like Jason Taylor). USA couldn't get the ball out of their end, and their defense was basically useless. Brazil should have actually won this game by two goals, as Howard actually made a save from within his own net, but the ref didn't see it pass the line.

Anyways, great tournament for USA, but it would have been nice to see them finally win something. Just from watching that game it seems like USA still has a big hill to climb, but at least they are putting up a fight.
