  The Olympics are a special time, aren’t they? Only during the Olympics does NBC drop their entire late night lineup for water polo and synchronized diving. Whoop-de-fucking-do. And at any hour of the day (or night, for that matter) you can catch some Olympic action on TV. The TV schedule for yesterday was such that at any given second during the day there was a minimum of two different events on at the same time. NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Telemundo, Bravo and all sorts of NBC-affiliated networks carry the Olympics at different times of day.
Who cares? After watching the USA Olympic basketball team lose to an island roughly the size of Delaware (Puerto Rico), I am officially disinterested. 92-73 was the final score in a game brought to you by the words ‘selfish’ and ‘Iverson.’ AI needs to get benched. It’s all his fucking fault. Allen Iverson is a cancer on any team, and we really don’t need him to win. A backcourt of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James is better than one with a selfish player like AI, who managed to hit five of his many shot attempts today (I believe the final count is fourteen).
Plus, the reunion of coach Larry Brown with AI cannot possibly be a good thing. Since they fought in Philly, who is to say that things are any better now? Perhaps the reason is the style of play is different elsewhere, and we don't play it well. But you simply just can't tell me that Puerto Rico has better basketball than the USA. So, in that case, what's wrong with the team??
