The Daily Hilario: Olympics, Day 1

RIO:

NBC, as usual, dropped the ball on the opening ceremony, with the whole tape delay nonsense, but to their credit, as they have for several Olympic Games now, will be broadcasting either on TV or online every single event.  Plenty of background entertainment for the next three weeks.

Ones to watch for today will include the Men's Water Polo group game between Serbia and Hungary, and a few medal events in shooting and swimming.

SUCKER FOR A GOOD MONTAGE:

DID KANTÉ GET ONE?

19 BMW i8 ready for the players following last season's triumph. What a chairman.
