Ryan Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint in Rio.  He and his teammates damaged property at a gas station and got into it with the attendant.  Ryan fled to US while his teammates are being detained in Brazil.  While Ryan says its not a lie, his detained buddies have already copped to the lie.  Mario Andrada says "they are kids having fun...life goes on".  Mind you, Lochte is 32 years old.  Doesn't get more privileged than that!

The thing I hate most about this Lochte mess is that it was just such a cynical ploy. It's obvious that they assumed that given all of Rio's very real issues they could just lie about being robbed by cops and that the rest of the world would take them at face value because "Hey, Rio's a shithole so it's gotta be true."

Bwhahahaha so true. Ryan was recently interviewed about his life and how he was a party guy and how he was over it. The interviewer said how he still saw a twinkle of the bad guy in him. Well then this happens!  Ryan is scum for leaving his teammates and supposed friends holding the bag. It is obvious his teammates tried to save his behind because they were questioned for 4 hours before they gave him up!

And before the other swimmers admitted to Ryan lying…the internet was flooded with how bad Rio is….its 100% true…yada yada…..I wasn't too sure if his story was true considering Lochte bad reputation.

French athlete gets booed twice by Rio home crowd. 

Funny how Feigen was the one that posted on Twitter that it was going to be party time in Rio after the last swimming event…..

 

 

If found guilty they will have to pay a fee…...

ABC just reported that part of the tape about 3 min was missing and it shows the swimmers and security guard holding a gun at them and taking their money even though the swimmers trashed the restrooms and ripped a poster down.….if Lochte is found guilty …nothing will happen to him since he already in the USA but Feigen could face 6 months in the slammer….

I guess he won't be seen in a Wheaties box!….LOL  I had realized it but he only won one gold medal and that was a relay team effort. He didn't even win won individually…LOL

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
