The Goat Pen

That happened to the US in Seoul.

thats a cool tat he has - a necklace with a cross.

I think Roy Jones was one of the dudes robbed in Seoul...and not the good kind of robbed, like Ryan Lochte.

Roy Jones is like the poster child of getting robbed in Olympic boxing

holy shit, can you be any more of a moron?

from KSR...................

Just this morning, I wrote that I didn’t think Ryan Lochte was capable of totally making up the story about being robbed at gunpoint in Rio, but it turns out he is. Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, Lochte’s teammates that were detained in Rio for questioning, confirmed to Brazilian authorities this morning that Lochte made the story up to cover up an incident at a gas station. After a night out on the town, Lochte and his fellow Team USA swimmers stopped at a gas station to use the restroom, and upon finding it locked, broke down the door, peed all over the building, and fought with a security guard. There’s even security footage to confirm it. D’oh.

Last night, Lochte told Matt Lauer that he and the swimmers stopped at a gas station to use the bathroom, and once back in the taxi, were robbed at gunpoint; however, surveillance footage of the players arriving back at the Olympic village shows them in good spirits with many of the items they said were stolen in their possession. Since then, Lochte flew back to the US while his teammates got stuck in Rio, and now, here we are.

I saw the video. If anything it kinda confirmed his story (at least the skeleton of it, heavily embellished and altered by omission). They may have been doing some dumb shit, and totally deserved this, but what you see is them walking calmly through the area under a gas station canopy and get in a cab, after kinda drunkenly almost getting in another wrong cab that was sitting there filling up too. Then somebody walks up and talks to the cabby and makes them all get out, they all walk off screen except one swimmer who puts his hands up before following. Then theres another view from a different angle in a different place where 3 have their hands up and all sit down, and you cant really tell whats happening but clearly they are forced to remain there seated. Then there are missing periods of time on the tapes like they left some of it out (for instance it skips a couple minutes right after a guy walks up with something in his hand and leans into the cabbies window, it skips, then it shows them all getting out).

The police say now that they "voluntarily" paid the owner of the gas station, but IMO its clear that whatever interaction they had was at least partially at gunpoint. So there was a money exchange at gunpoint, but according to the cops it was a "non-robby" money exchange at gun point. Plus if any of this happened in broken English and portuguese, who knows what the fuck these drunk assholes really thought was going down.

wow

edited/skipped tape

smh

sounds like he showed his ass and got a gun pulled on him

Like I believe the cops over there.

I have no idea what to believe about this whole situation.

The USA mens diving team has a guy named Steele Johnson

why have we not heard about this until now?

Good point.

Pitino wrote a book while he was coach at UK called "Success is a choice"

Calipari has a book coming out called "Success is the only option"

the man just lives to fuck with Pitino any chance he gets

Probably what really happened. Another no big deal event made big deal by lying about it.

Bolt running as a guide for a blind paraolympic runner.

Hard to find a reason not to like this guy

I was just helping him across the finish line!

He supports Man U. That's enough to make him questionable. Other than that, he is great at marketing himself as a likeable guy.

Hedge wouldn't think so. He'd just make fun of the colored guy for losing.

I'm not sure how I feel about Nissan advertising over a blind woman's eyes

I can just hear that board room decision being made

"I tell you lets put Nissan on her boobs..everyone is gonna look at her boobs"

"no she's blind - people are going to stare at her eyes!"

Who the fuck was even looking at her boobs in the first place? Sick motherfucker

you can't look at a blind woman's boobs?


that's like forbidden fruit

now I want to have sex with a blind woman
