Quality race off Wiggins.

Anyone see three 200m BS? Thought the scot was going to do it. Amazing PBS for silver.

The men's Team GB football team top the group: yes! Setting up a prospective date with Brazil in the semis: bollocks!

A lot of stuff is live in the day. Evening is prerecorded

Wow - the tax bill on winning a gold medal is $8,986, silver is $5,385 and bronze is $3,500.

(The United States Olympic Committee rewards Olympic medalists with honorariums. A gold medal brings $25,000. Silver medals get you $15,000. And a bronze is worth $10,000.)

Nice work, Agent Ramp.

Couple more golds for Team GB this afternoon, slowly making our way up the table. Can't wait for the athletics to begin.

And say goodbye to your daytime activities like a job, school, hanging out with friends who don't work third shift
...well, there is only about a 5 hour difference for these Olympics, but still that's a lot of really early mornings for a couple weeks

I can't believe we got DQ'd from the women's cycling when we were guaranteed a minumum silver... Ffs.

Good win and world record for the 4-man team though.
