Only if each player goes one on one against one other player on the opposing team. In sequence.

Sounds like a helluva cure for insomnia!

Remember -- it won't be long until the absolutely most absurd and worthless Olympic "sport" of all...

And it was a painful wuppin'. Final score 43-7.

It was men against boys. The Green Bay Packers vs. Green Bay Community College.

But it wasn't big Great Britain doin' the wuppin', it was tiny Fiji. They won their first ever gold medal.

And the Fiji players were awesome – like NFL linebackers and big Adrian Peterson type running backs.

I was really impressed and happy for Fiji.

That's far more worthy (and more enjoyable to watch) than something as idiotic as golf -- why the hell should it be an Olympic event?

Very classy move I thought by Simone Manuel to let the Canadian tie her and obtain the first gold for the Canadian Team (aka: The Penny Oleksiak Team) at these Olympics.
