I will watch literally anything with Olympic rings on it.

(Yes, I'm aware that I have a problem, and no, I don't want to quit.)

But anyway, this is allsome. I think I may become a rugby fan. If football players started playing rugby, the US would be unbeatable at this game.

Rugby 7s is a good time. 14 minutes of the players going full throttle

Now that I have become an enormous rugby fan since 8 am this morning, I know that the Olympic version is miniature form of the game with 7 players a side and two 7 minute halves, instead of 15 players per side and 40 minute halves in the "classic" version.

Americans are being taken to the woodshed, but they should still be able to advance to the quarterfinals if they can beat Uruguay tomorrow.

I won't watch until they start playing real American sports like breakdancing.

No shame in that, they even whooped on the legendary "All Blacks." It's an inspiration that they are so adept at a sport, despite being a tiny country.

Rugby is eminently watchable. I love that they mic the refs in the UK.

Fiji will win the gold again… the crowd is pretty fantastic here, but the French have to settle for silver

Don't care if you're being facetious or not, but one of our four team reps for breaking is from Houston!

That Antoine Dupont dude is legit. As a rugby expert, I think he is the best player in the world.

Have enjoyed the 7's but the best match was S.Africa- All Blacks. The goal line defense S.Arica did was better than any grid iron defense I have seen recently.

American football players could learn a thing or 2 about tackling from rugby.
