Welcome to another edition of Deep Dish Sports with the Iceman Brandon Cohn. Today's show includes a discussion on Lakers late owner Dr. Jerry Buss, and how some called him the "best owner in sports." We also talked about the International Olympic Committee's unusual decision to get rid of wrestling in the Olympics beginning in 2020...

The NBC Olympics website has been featuring videos called "Bodies in Motion". They're basically just montages of the athletes in slow-motion -- female athletes -- but the music they chose almost makes them feel like porn. Did we mention all the athletes are women? We did, huh.

Not only did she finish fourth in the 100-meter hurdles, Lolo Jones has been ripped as an Olympic-size poseur by the New York Times, her teammates -- silver medalist Dawn Harper and bronze medalist Kellie Wells -- seem almost happy Lolo didn't medal.

It was four Sundays ago today that Andy Murray had to fight back tears after losing to the immortal Roger Federer in the finals at Wimbledon.

The spotlight turned to the track and field events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Sunday. Here’s a recap of the day’s action:

US swimmers Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin added to their impressive medal collections on Friday at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here’s a recap of the day’s action from the London Games:

The other day on the "Sports Spin" I said there was something a little off putting about American swimmer Ryan Lochte. I couldn't describe exactly what it was, but this video shines a clearer light about my feelings about Lochte. As talented as he is in the pool, he doesn't seem to possess much grey matter.

One of the big stories of the XXX Olympics has been NBC's decision to show marquee events on a tape delay in prime time. This is nothing new, but in the era of social media, people have a larger platform to express their frustration.

At the risk of overloading the internet with Carly Rae Jepsen ripoffs, we present a "Call Me Maybe" parody -- meaning nobody's lip-syncing the song in a mass transit vehicle, they're making funnies by writing their own lyrics. This one's by a group called NOC, which seems to be happy Ryan Lochte's beating Michael Phelps these days.

After yesterday’s Opening Ceremony, the 2012 Summer Olympics had its first full day of competition on Saturday.
