During the 2012 Summer Olympics, it was reported that security at the London venues was instructed to crack down on any people who tried to attend events while wearing recognizable logos of companies that weren’t exclusive sponsors. That was a very nice way of saying that McDonald’s owned the fry monopoly and Coke wanted to kick out anyone wearing Pepsi logos, which would have sucked for me because my whole wardrobe is nothing but Mountain Dew shirts.

This was a little unfair to the average Joe, Boris or Ming cheering on their countries, because as some surveys showed, nobody knew which companies were even sponsoring the Olympics. In fact, 37% of the 1,034 people who took part in an online survey believed that Nike was a sponsor, when it fact it wasn’t – Nike does, however, sponsor Team USA and other countries so it didn’t matter – and this just basically proved what we already knew – Nike is really awesome at marketing.

You may want to sit down for this news, because it will blow your mind, but apparently Kobe Bryant is trying to get laid again. And at the 2012 Summer Olympics of all places. I mean, the Olympics should be a sacred gathering of the world’s greatest athletes and showcase their talents and determination. But I guess things are bound to get a little screwy – pun originally not intended, but what the hell – when you have companies like Durex practically begging athletes to throw on a raincoat and get down.

As for Bryant, he’s now being called out by Australian women’s hoopster Liz Cambage and Australian swimmer Craig Stevens for trying to get down with Australia’s three-time gold medalist swimmer Stephanie Rice. Cambage Tweeted that Bryant was being a little too friendly with the ladies during these games and pointed out that it might not make his wife, Vanessa, very happy, but she later denied that she was referring to Rice. Stevens, though, just flat out called them on their freaky deaky.

While people want to turn video of Melissa Tancredi stepping on Carli Lloyd’s head into the next Zapruder film, I think the majority of us can agree that Argentina’s Facundo Campazzo blatantly hitting Carmelo Anthony in the nuts was one of the lowest points of Olympic competition. After all, there’s an unwritten law and a code among men that you should never smack another bro in the gooners unless it’s the absolute last resort. Campazzo did it because Chris Paul allegedly punched him earlier in that game, and that’s pretty much the ultimate bullsh*t excuse. Campazzo still hasn’t apologized to Anthony, but maybe he will apologize to his teammate Luis Scola when someone takes it out on him during an NBA game next season.

But we can stop talking about Campazzo now, because Nicolas Batum took the dick-punching cake today as he and Team France lost to Spain, 66-59. As you can see in the GIF above (Via Buzzfeed Sports) Batum absolutely wailed on Carlos Navarro’s turkey baster. At first I thought, “Well, Batum is probably punching at the ball.” But I was wrong, because Batum is both cheap and honest.

As much as I make fun of Canada, I really am quite fond of America’s hat. Those crazy Canucks gave us Kids in the Hall, and that’s probably my all-time favorite TV show, so I can’t really bash those hosers for that. But it’s just so hard to continue my appreciation of those moose-loving maniacs when they have people like Melissa Tancredi giving Ndamukong Suh a run for his money in the d*ckhead department.

To be fair, Team Canada had quite a few poor sports after Team USA pulled off a miraculous 4-3 victory in the semifinals on Monday. Christine Sinclair accused the refs of giving the victory to the U.S. before the match even started. Canada’s coach, John “Flappy” Herdman, called on Team USA to just admit that they were fortunate for being favored. But regardless of whether or not the refs were in Uncle Sam’s pockets, Tancredi really went the extra kilometer to come off as a total C-word.

Tancredi received a yellow card in the match, after committing at least 7 fouls, and despite that she still blamed the refs and not her team’s cheap tactics for the loss.

When asked what she said to Pederson after the call [that led to the penalty], she said: “I hope you can sleep tonight and put on your American jersey because that’s who you played for today. I was honest.”

Oh, and to wrap her piss poor day up and throw a big, ol’ bow on it, Tancredi stomped on Carli Lloyd’s head, as you can see in the video after the jump. And you can bet your maple leafed ass if it was Alex Morgan, I’d be knocking on Canada’s door with a Challenger 2 tank right now.
