have y'all seen Lilli lately? She's not what she once was..... her teammate Paula might be better

Paula carrying her but it's only right...Lili was carrying for multiple Olympics :wow:

I remember when a young Nero first saw her in 2012 :wow:

This comeback from Germany tho

You think if we got some college football guys that aren’t nfl material and taught them the game we would be good?

The right player could absolutely transition and its not unheard of; There was a player for Ireland Tom Court who stopped playing rugby as a kid to focus on Track n Field but then switched back to rugby at 24 and did pretty well for himself ... But kind like for NFL I think a player taking up rugby in his 20's could only really stand out in a few of the positions

For USA to really take off I think we need more guys playing rugby in the spring during their school years and getting a good understanding of the game while their young b/c on of the hardest aspects of learning the game is learning how to read the flow of the action and pick your spots to really go 100% cause even the fitttest person on earth would be gassed trying to go full speed the whole time in an 80 min match

Also just my take but while I'm skeptical if the 15 woman game could really catch on here, I think womens 7s has significantly more potential to blow up

The US should win some more golds in swimming in the next few days.

Also, track & field starts on August 1st. The US should dominate and rack up gold there.
