I guess there's additional trash in Rio we weren't aware of. It's bad enough when it's done locally but to show your ass to the world is tacky ... bad form. It takes the National Anthem and the medal ceremony to the level of the guys who yell "mashed potatoes" when the pro golfers tee off.

The "Oh" happens at every Caps game. The team has really embraced the Balmer fan base, especially since the Skipjacks left town.

Argentina got bailed out in extra time to salvage a draw and then they couldn't handle being eliminated and tried to start a fight with Honduras.
