It’s been a fun Olympics, from watching Phelps swim to Bolt run to American swimmers in brawls at gas stations. But there are ways to make it even better. And a big part of that is getting rid of a bunch of worthless shit events in the Olympics and replacing them with things that are cool. I mean, seriously, an some 60 year old hedge fund manager from London who can make his sailboat go fast gets the same medal that Bolt and Phelps get? Ridiculous. Somebody who makes a horse stand still gets a gold medal? Absurd. Here then, are some sports, that should be taken out and what they should be replaced with.
TAKE OUT-Sailing. Nobody cares. Seriously.
PUT IN-Breakdancing. Have you ever been to Battery Park and not seen a crowd gather around the breakdancers? People love breakdancing, and those dudes are sure as hell athletes (unlike sailors. Sailors!) This came to me when watching the floor routine the other night. Some moves very similar to breakdancing, but breakdancing has much better music.
TAKE OUT-Dressage. Good Lord. Nothing more captivating on TV than watching a horse not move.
PUT IN- Horse diving. Who wouldn’t watch this?
TAKE OUT- Golf. I mean, seriously, why did they add this? “Gee whiz, what could we do to make the Olympics more boring? Oh I know, we’ll add golf!”
PUT IN- American Football. Now we can settle it once and for all: who’s better at football, us or Equatorial Guinea?
I am pretty sure that 100% of you agree with all of those points above. Because they’re right.
Great new shirt at Shibe I think some of you guys will be interested in. The new Franklin Field shirt just got released yesterday and it’s terrific. The design was done by Philly artist Jon Billett. As with all order on the site, you can get free shipping by using the code “quizzo”.
If you haven’t done so already, be sure to join us on Facebook and follow us on twitter and instagram. A lot of cool stuff on there.
Alright, none of our typical twice-a-weekers played earlier this week, and I gotta start preparing for Sunday, so only one quiz this week. It’s a good one. Action starts at Lo Spiedo at 5:30 p.m., as Carl B Sure hosts on what is a rare decent day outside in this swampy summer. On to the Vous at 6:15 p.m. You know what it is. Hope to see ya tonight!
UPDATE: Gotta cancel at Founding Fathers tonight. Their electric is out. Bummer. Hope you guys can play tmrw at Industry (or if you arrive early, the Bards).
We got a wild card team in last night. Can your team join the mix tonight? Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m., where I’ll be hosting. Carl B Sure hosts at Alla Spina at 8 p.m. as well. On to City Tap House at 10:15, where we’ll be under the stars. Some great opportunities to get a win and, with it, an invite. Hope to see ya tonight!
Action starts at Sidecar tonight at 9:30. Jitney will not be there tonight, so it’s anybody’s ballgame. If you are on the outside looking in, this is a great shot of getting a win. Hope to see ya tonight!
Excited about the band I snagged for the JGTSI this year. A local folk band called No One You Know, you can check out their latest album here. Great stuff. You’re gonna enjoy these guys.
Here are our final scores…invites went out this morning, and teams in orange have already RSVPd. Teams in yellow have received invites (except for Teflon Don, I need an email address for you guys). Teams in black have declined their invites and record of their achievements have been destroyed and we will move forward as if they never existed.
If you didn’t make the cut, there’s still hope! This is wild card week, and any team winning this week gets an automatic invite. (Will 2-time JGTSI winners Popesack get in via wildcard this week?)
It’s gonna be a great show at a great bar. Excited to do it at Alla Spina. Action will start at 5:30.
