@Gaucho : I just saw the official attire of Team Germany. Is there any special meaning behind that?

I don't know why they look like they do, but they sure aren't a winner with at least some of the athletes.

So… do these handball goalies blow? Or is it just me? I play indoor with nets about that size. And a ball about that size. And I save a higher percent than they seem to be. Norway has scored 19 times on 27 shots on net. Just seems they should do better, that’s all.

This 3x3 basketball is something. It’s basically the game you played in your driveway.

I'm fairly certain my SV% against pros would be .000, no matter how many shots they take. In fact, the first throw I'd manage to get my hand on would probably break every bone in it. But these goalies are pros, too, so I don't know.

I’m certainly not suggesting I could do better… I’m just thinking: these are the best of the best… shouldn’t they be better? But I’ve never played the sport and this have no clue what I’m talking about.

I'd say that using hands to score combines the precision of basketball with velocity that rivals soccer. In addition, even though the shooters have a "forbidden zone" they cannot cross while shooting, that zone is really small - so very many of attacking signals result in almost "soccer penalty-shot" situations. All together, I find handball quite unwatchable except for the few closing minutes (same with basketball).

Funny, I find in basketball it's more often than not the closing minutes that are mostly unwatchable. :)

You mean you don’t enjoy 3 minutes of game time taking 30 minutes of real time because coaches have to use every timeout available to them because the players can’t think past the end of their noses?

If he’s not then the entire competition needs an asterisk.

My neighbor is a freelance photojournalist and drone operator who does 'test flights' in the neighborhood all the time, and so I generally have a dim view of the things. But I have to admit that was pretty frickin' cool.

Watching the Parade of Nations last night I said to Mrs Tif that the entire NZ delegation should be required to perform a haka when they enter the stadium.

Yinz are joking, right? Right? It’s embarrassing watching them do it. It makes it even worse that they suck at all sports
