Using that you get assigned an IP that looks like its from Great Britian, so Gmail probably saw your gmail being accessed from an ip in great britian, and thought that was suspicious. i dont think its anything to worry about.

Where does the media's (and coaches') confidence on U.S. women's gymnastics come from? I watched the prelims and was very underwhelmed. Sure they did score the highest but those scores mean nothing on the main event, and I honestly felt the girls were.. not very good compared to Russians or Chinese.

The prelim was basically about who made the less mistakes, and while it's arguably true that the U.S. girls did make less mistakes, but their performance or condition did not look anywhere close to the other nations' women.

Because of consistency. Consistency is key for team performances. Just look at the mens team and the lack there of.

The ladies blew out their competition and won gold. While Russia got silver, China didn't medal.

they have do stupid dance moves like that to get in position. IF you take a regular step it can be a deduction.
 
Does anyone think the US men's basketball team has a chance against Tunisia? And by "chance" I mean to cover the 54 point spread. I think they probably will unless they spend the entire second half lobbing alley-oops to Anthony Davis.

Team USA Vs. Tunisia: Biggest Point Spread of All Time?
by Roger_Dorn 1 hour ago

According to Sportsbook.com, it is.

I know what everyone is thinking: The fuck is Tunisia? Well, I just Googled it, and it looks like a neat little country. They have a nice spread out there on the Mediterranean across from Italy. It’s just that their basketball is nothing to write home about. The point spread for today’s game is a whopping 55 points.

I remember one time during basketball practice my freshman year of high school (yeah, I played basketball as a freshman and I used to rain threes from anywhere on the court), we scrimmaged the girls varsity team. With the obvious Y-chromosomal advantage, our coach made us play defense with our hands behind our backs and we weren’t allowed to dribble on offense. We won the scrimmage 21 – 2. I straight stuffed the shit out of some chick with my forehead. She pumped faked me, but I didn’t bite on it. She then went up for about a 12-foot ‘J’ and I jumped and head-butted the ball about 25 feet in the air with a thunderous thud. The gym erupted. True goddamn story.

If you haven’t yet figured out where I’m going with this, Tunisia is the girls varsity team. Team USA is playing the role of my freshmen team, and they’re about to put a hurting on Tunisia something nasty. It’s still unclear whether or not they will be allowed to dribble and use their hands on defense today, but the absurd 55-point spread would suggest they will.

I’m also hearing that Vegas is considering setting a ‘Kevin Durant vs. Tunisia’ line at Durant + 1.5. Some sweet action. Don’t forget to tune in today at 5:15 ET to watch Team USA tee off on the Tunisians.

All of that just sounds dirty! 😱
 
Anyone know what the red and green lines mean in waterpolo. I assume the red line is for a goalie box, but the green line?

if i rember right (they talked about it while i was watching) its the 2 and 5 meter marks. Also if fouled in the 5meter you have to pass if outside (far out) you can go for a shot on goal.



I gotta say Waterpolo is a rough sport. it looks like 2 teams trying to drown each other with a ball thrown every now and then.
