So Pretty gave up on the Olympics tonight and relied on season two of Friday Night Lights for her entertainment and of course the old woman Slow goes along with Pretty but we still managed to have the Ansel Adams of tv photography capture a few moments from the London games for us today. You know Slow. She stays on task.
Angel McCoughtry – Hey, I’m Thinkin’ You Disrespect Us
Yeah, in case you were wondering they’re still playing other women’s games across the Pond and basketball is a little under the radar this year in the Olympics. Team USA played Turkey in ongoing preliminaries with a solid win of 89-58 Wednesday and Angel McCoughtry came off the bench to score 18 points and boost her teammates’ level of enthusiasm. Don’t worry basketball Pathletes – your time to shine is on the horizon and The Red Man is with you all the way.
And speaking of basketball, the men’s Team USA played Tuesday and had a good showing against an underPeeped Tunisia. After the game, one of the Tunisian Pathletes shook hands with Kobe Bryant and then asked him to autograph his sneaker. Kobe was a good sport and was happy to sign off on the shoe.

Yeah, so this is why we watch the games…you never know when you’ll catch a glimpse of heroes in one of their heroic moments.. Slow wiped a tear on that one and she wiped another one for John Orozco and his mother.

Well, Olympic Sports Fans, we think you deserve a medal for hangin’ in with us for our Olympic coverage which we admit is less than thorough, somewhat biased, occasionally inaccurate and mostly vicarious. Nobody’s perfect.
Get me outta here Percy…they say confession is good for the soul, but I’m not feelin’ it …
