O'Connell's Off Topic

Yeah here and there. I've been busy though.

I haven't watched the Olympics since the very early 70's...

Just not excited about them... Of course I'm not really much of a sports guy at all...

This is creepy coming from his mother!

Ryan Lochte Only Has Time for "One-Night-Stands," According to His Mom

Ryan Lochte is a hit it and quit it kind of guy.

In an interview with TODAY July 31, Ike Lochte explained why her sought-after son is too busy to commit to a single woman. "He goes out on one-night stands," Ike said of the 27-year-old Olympian. "He's not able to give fully to a relationship because he's always on the go."

At Procter and Gamble's Thank You Mom family home in London five days earlier, Ike further explained why her son isn't ready for a relationship. "He's so warmhearted that I don't think he'd want to have a relationship with somebody," she told Us Weekly. "I don't think he wants to get into a relationship."

"It just wouldn't be fair to the girl," Ike added. "He doesn't have the time."

Single or no, Lochte -- a nine-time Olympic medalist -- has made his mother proud. "Everything he has done has been to the max," Ike told TODAY. "He's unique, loving, and he challenges himself all the time."

It was cool seeing women from Iraq and Afghanistan running this morning. And I felt bad for the Qatar..ian? hurting herself right at the start. They've definitely been entertaining!

Gabby was amazing! Congrats to her!

Poor guy:

German Stephan Feck had the worst dive of the Olympics
12 hours ago by LBSports

Stephan Feck didn't win a medal at the Olympics, but he's receiving much more attention than your average 29th-place finisher.

Feck lit up the Internet with jokes after going reverse belly-flop into the pool on a dive off the 3M springboard on Monday. The 22-year-old German lost the grip on his leg while doing his flips and landed flat on his back during his second dive of the preliminary round. The youngster received a 0.0 score on the dive and finished last out of 29 competitors.
