    Yep, although it won't be quite the same, there are at least the Paralympics to help us off this Olympic high.

    Gold again. Thought the Italian had just edged it.

    The last round Joshua dominated and i think the first two rounds were dodgy scoring. Great fight tho.

    Officially can't be caught by Russia. Third in the medal table... fantastic.

    You take what you can get. Football will not be good enough, in my opinion.

    Italians are appealing result. let's hope it's all cut and dried.

    I have enough space in my life for more than one passionate interest, as much as I'll be upset to see the Olympics end I'm also very excited for football coming back, and also the NFL season. They're separate entities, nothing is replacing anything...

    Last medal--silver in modern pentathlon. It's all over apart from closing ceremony. Going to feel strange to hand the Olympic flag over to Brazil.

    Well, that is they say, is that. Well never forget these last two weeks. Fantastic achievements from British Olympians, some great viewing from sport that I never normally watch. Can't ask for more than that.

    One day soon the Patriots will actually win the Super Bowl, instead of losing in the final.

    Honestly, I can't really see the appeal in sitting in a stadium (or my living room for that matter) all day to see an average of 12 minutes of action. So much waiting around for so little sport.
