Exactly, "so?"

no its solo

I third that, why is this news? What do they expect? Stupid news people, its like you'll throw anything against the wall, regardless of its perceived implication... and see what sticks.... let these people celebrate, and if you dont want them drunk, then dont book them to appear at 7am after a big win like that.... wankers.

Bragging about it shows a real lack of class !

Just another hard hitting expose by msnbc! Yawn

What do you expect? There's a lot of pressure being Han and Leia's daughter.

They won and had a right to party! Then they got dragged onto stupid Today the morning after... big deal!

This Olympic event everyone is being forced to eat one type of french fry and drink only one type of beer. Unfortunately for me, I don't like either of the brands they are serving so no beer or fries for me.

You say that like it's no big deal, but just think about all those people who could have been killed by their out of control tv set!

Don't drink and interview!!!!!

Getting real tired of the media asshats thinking they are holier than thou. So some young atheletes win gold in the Olympics, party and get drunk. Wow, maybe they all need interventions. MSM has become a joke. Why not report on some real issues. By the way Hope Solo is a hot little number.

Hey rub green,

MSN doesn't do the reporting, they pick up what already exists out there. However they do have a choice as to what they cut and paste.

I bet her brother Han Solo is very disappointed (NOT)

Exactly...this is what passes as news at msnbc and therefore nbc...what a sham! Try cnn or abcnews, they are a little better.

its summer and they have plenty of apprentices at NBC. they search their archives so NBC has something to air. Apparently nothing is happening at the moment that is worth writing about.

What do you expect? There's a lot of pressure being Han and Leia's daughter

Tony in Dallas that is funny had to give you a check for that one.

Sarcasticus -

What are you talking about? That's not even good sarcasm; your moniker is deceptive.

She needs a spanking.

How do you know she was bragging, Roger?

It doesn't say in the article how the topic came up. Maybe she was asked by a reporter.

USA...USA...USA.....

Hope Solo said she was "drunk" during a TODAY interview

Sho wat Ima drunk now.

I'd would be drunk too if I had to be on the 'Today' show...

JQ 12261891:

What I posted has no actual relationship to the story but reflects pretty much everything Newsviners rail about on this blog when, in fact, this article deserves no comments at all!!! Then, Newsviners complain about some idiot (me) derailing the article to whatever useless tangent is used to support whatever cause or argument which only adds more fuel to the nonsense. It's not funny when it has to be explained. In the future, just remember and repeat this phrase, "I will not feed the trolls." It should help some.

And..........................................................................................................................................

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''................ OH OH that IS the story?

who cares about the "small stuff" , they're great!!!

I love Meredith, she is missed at Today!

MY GOD!!! Our OWN Olympians, consuming [gasp] ALCOHOL!!!

Oh wait....they repealed Prohibition. Nevermind.........

Slow day, Today? LOL

hell they can go have another on me , good job girl's were very proud

Let's see... you win a gold medal at the Olympics and you choose not to go partying immediately afterwards? What the hell is wrong with you?!

@ Diez -nuts........they work their whole life for one moment in time and win a gold medal and they're dumb for celebrating ? ......who cares about a stupid 2 minute news interview.............last time i checked alcohol was legal !...its everywhere you look in sports............and its best during times of celebration ......quit hating you old crow.....

I wonder how many comercials on NBC will be advertising beer and alcohol during the olympics. Do as we say not as we advertise.

MSN can remove this story from the home page now, it's not that big of a story.

Now, isn't this just a shining example for kids to look up to? What a complete and total idiot.

those red... solo cups...turn me on...

OMG!!!

Better contact USADA; Travis Tygart should know about this...

This is a story why?

Wow! What a story!? A 3-whole-sentence-breaking-news story! Wow!

"With 5 men at 2AM" would have been a headline.

who cares its not like she flashed her tits and assf on the today show so what she was drunk. The only people who can say anything are the ones who have not touched alcohal a day in their lives

+1!

I'd like to get drunk and attempt to scale Mount Solo

you are going to hate it but try foxnews.com I use both MSNBC and FOX because between the far left spin here and the far right spin on FOX they do cover most of the news

There's CNBC.

But if you want a different perspective, try BBC or some other country's stuff.

I used to keep up with CNN, Fox and MSNBC, but I got burned out of most of them myself.

Try either www.bbc.com

or

Both sites provide accurate world news without all the gossip.

I like Christian Science Monitor for news -

I use Fox News and the Drudge Report for news and facts. I use msnbc or NBC for giggles and farts! Msnbc is good for keeping up with different reciepes to try out and to find out what's happening to Tom Cruise and Lindsey Lohan and other 'cool' entertainers (sarcasm on)!

I never watch CNN, but who does?

Sally,

I think the Drudge has some of the best. But the liberals will call you a right wing lunatic because Drudge actually has links to stories that are NEWS!

I'm convinced that there is no real news left on the internet or TV, or even in written newspapers much these days. It's like reading "People" magazine or the "National Enquirer". This isn't newsworthy. And Hope was probably hungover as opposed to actually still being drunk. Geez, I know several Olympic athletes and people need to cut them some slack. They work their butts off for years to achieve their dream. They deserve to party and celebrate. The fact the Today show would have them appear at such an unreasonable hour speaks volumes to how out of touch the media are anyways.

Also, don't for that The Onion provides a balanced point of view.

BBC news is OK, less USA oriented. i don't notice particular bias. YMMV,of course!

Try just about any non USofA media outlets, even the BBC. Most don't care what they print about what's really going on here and they don't stuff their media with non stories like this about US issues. The US media surely doesn't hold back much about the other countries day to day f ups. The MSM is controlled.

The best we have found is The Daily Show...Jon is more knowledgeable and honest than most. Plus we could all stand to get more in touch with our SENSE OF HUMOR! (We all have a sense of humor, it's just that some seem to have a hard time locating theirs). Have a great day ALL!

CSPAN is the only news outlet with no spin...

For global and domestic business and economic news go for bloomberg.com or bloombergTV. Don't count on to much political or social news content unless it relates to business or the rconomy.

Yeah, because we already see what the "enabling crowd has to say"... but personally I could care less, however they could have used a little more discretion or common sense because I'm pretty sure they had to know they would be on live TV the next morning.

Seeing as nobody knew they were drunk until Hope Solo admitted it 4 years later obviously they were discrete and used common sense! This is a non-story precisely because they did nothing wrong! They had won an Olympic Gold Medal for God's sake - why wouldn't they celebrate?!

part of "the enabling crowd" lol!

It could have been worse. They might have got drunk before the game.

ochesan

And now, the politically-correct crowd will say she's an alcoholic and they all need rehab and blah blah blah.

No apparantly your the only one who thought or mentioned it. I do get that your were being Sarcastic actually I'm glad that people aren't saying that either.

I know, those stupid conservative jerkoffs, always trying to give people a hard time for living their own life! The same busybody idiots who brought us Prohibition. Damn conservative republicans, especially Christians, always trying to force their stupid immorality on the rest of us. Thanks for pointing it out.

john smith said " especially Christians, forcing their immorality. oh wait.... stupid immorality... now that is funny........

Really, imbecile? Is that what you wonder? So, Romney loves this stuff, but Obama hates it? The Mormon who is against drinking, caffeine, and freedom? But President Obama, who drinks and smokes, will be against it in your fantasy world? And you know this how? From your pathetic partisanship? Do you think your hatred for America gives you ESP or something? Just shut up with your despicable partisan hatred, jerkoff, and try to be part of the solution, instead of just a whiny little complainer.

He too busy smoking pot on the Today show! But it's the right thing to do!

John,

I think thesign was being sarcastic about this being 'news'. He mentioned Obama, because as our President, if there were some "breaking news" (such as 9/11, or some other disaster), he would have to hold a press conference on it.

But I could be wrong.

JohnSmith: You need to relax a little. You sure read a lot into his sarcastic two sentence comment.

John Smith,

You are a single digit IQ Moron. He was not refering to the Partisian issues of countries. He was simply referng to Obama as the leader of this country. Stupid blind supporters like you goes to show how self-concious you are about this President. Yes, don't bother: I am against this President and I believe our country is headed down the wrong direction. Why? The reason is because I am a Tax Attorney.

However, next time you choose to insult another commentator the way you just did based on paranoia love you have for the worst President in our contemporary history, breath, think, and re-read the argument before you blindly start throwing out swage the way you just did.

This is so typical of Leftist Supporters who just start responding bumper sticker slogans without actually reading the issues.

With regards to this soccer player: WHO CARES!!!!!! THEY WON!!! LET THEM CELEBRATE!! THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO (unlike our President hehehhehe)!!! so they could get drunk if they want to and screw "Today Show".

AhmedReza

don't feed the troll's

Or even a Joe Namath drunk lmao " I wanna kiss you ".

Did you say Blutarski?

"They took the bar........"

Or Robert Kraft drunk after the New England Patriots won their 1st Super Bowl.

My sentiments exactly - doesn't say much for her character. if I read this and was interviewing her, she would definitely not get the job.

It was a magazine interview for ESPN, not a job interview, genius. And it probably just came up casually in the course of a free-form discussion with the journalist, not to mention years after the fact.. It isn't as though she was shouting it from the rooftops. Get a grip.

I don't think she needs a job from you Dick227, shes a gold medal winning Olympic athlete. I am sure just about any US womens league will gladly accept her on their team.

You don't get out much do you?

That's alright DICK, I am sure she wouldn't want to work for you anyways.

Yeah, she will probably get lots of endorsement offers from liguor and beer companies now.

@SoItGoes...she already plays for the Seattle women's team.

Hell, eve if she was drunk, I'd still hire just to look @ her. She is super hot!

What is it about these athletes that is so attractive? If they were average women on the street, I'd never find them attractive, but looking at these young ladies, first thing that pops in my head is "damn she is hot!!"

debi55: she just won the gold medal, and she isn't allowed to party?! Besides, since when was there any shame in having fun?

The thing is, in terms of endorsements, this does hurt her as an athlete because many companies or organizations probably will not select her to endorse products, especially if they are kid's products or health products because of the whole role model thing.

Can you imagine her now on a box of Wheaties? She will probably be made fun of on a Saturday Night Live skit...Early in the morning, red eyes, that's not milk she just poured in her cereal....

So, while people do say "so what?", the reason is that this is news is that the people at the Today show obviously were not happy about it and if anything, it just made a dent in her pocketbook of future endorsement income because she publicly just told the entire world. It's worse than someone posting a picture of herself drunk on Facebook because it was on the Today show and now on all the major news networks worldwide.

Indeed.... That is the question or was it American beer made in China?

I hope you didn't stay up all night thinking about that one.......

Conversely, I am ashamed that you (and your sarcastic negative attitude) are. Live a little.

Oh for @!$%#'s sake, grow up!!!

I truely agree w/ you JM!!!

They are role models too. They worked hard, they achieved what everybody in their field didn't (gold medals for those idiots who don't get it) and they were diciplined enough to get where they are!! YES, they are AWESOME role models!!

It's a good ting no other American soprts figure ever did drugs or drink because This is America where we are so pure. BFD! The Big Friendly Duffios in the White House smoked Pot!

" The Big Friendly Duffios in the White House smoked Pot!"...So? I don't really like Obama, either, but pot? It's not like he's doing it now, so BFD.

jessicalc...

How would you know? Did he or any of them (past or present) stop buying from you?

I would have bought them a round .....

And after that, I would have brought them around...

Seriously,

these athletes sacrificed personally for years leading up to the Olympics! They can certainly celebrate away from the media. Pro athletes celebrate championship wins with alcohol flowing and TV cameras rolling, that is expected. Hypocricy!

Because we need to know semi-famous people have issues to.

I think she is more than semi-famous, but more importantly, if you think partying after winning a gold medal is "issues" then I think you are the one who has them.

Maybe it took that long for the hangover to go away.

^^^^

reply of the day!!

Great one!!!!!

and just a little trashy...

Go back to Fox! "Non-relevant"? But you felt the need to come over here and post any way, right? Because you wanted your post to be "non-relevant'.

jazzman69:

First and foremost, I watch foxnews. So am I White Trash? Am I hillbilly? Am I undeducated?

You jazz man69, after seeing your screenname, I could start throwing a lot assumption based on your screenname alone and I have not even started with your comment.

However, people like you have a very hard time to come to peace with reality and what you would like to hear. The reason that sometimes people like you attack others and lable them with stereo types is simply due to the fact that you do not have any argument that actually has any merits. Meaning, if you actually did not like what he said, you could have said, "hey buddy, I do not like what you said because ...." But people like you can't do that because you are motivated by irational feelings and since your argument simply do not have any merit or factual basis, you start name calling to shut the other person up. For example, calling him "racist" for watching foxnews.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed your lecture. I cannot wait to hear your opinion of me, White trash? hilbilly? no intelligence?

Pretentious douchebag? lol sorry. Couldn't help myself.

More feeding of trolls, you are getting sucked in.

Watch the NBC News? The Peacock? If I want lies llike that, I'll give my ex-wife a call...

P.S. What network was caught editing the 911 Zimmerman - Martin Tapes?

What network was caught selectively editing comment made by Presidential Candidates to make them sound like they were saying something they didn't?

Girls Soccer team drunk on the air? They probably fit right in with all of the Kool Aid Addicts there!

Obviously you care enough to post on here. Her credibility is slowly but surely going way down. As to the so called PMS meds containing a banned substance, or disallowed, whatever euphamishm you wish to use. She is a role model, like it or not. Not to me, I'm a guy, regardless of the absurd PC frames of posters being all women. You are representing your country, the olympic games are not over, and you party, sneaking guys into your room, drink booze all night, then appear in front of millions and confuse that you won the World Cup v the Olympic gold. Pathetic. And it is your obligation to give your doctor a list of disallowed substances. Not for him to guess, if that is indeed what happened. Her name is beginning to change to Pinocchio. And reprimanded by a biased US committee vs. an international neutral one. Absurd. And no, I am not religious, right wing, etc. since plenty of you use that rationale to excuse intolerable behavior. Where is Alex Morgan when you need her?

@ff1212 - A child just died in the dirt in the Sudan, i.e. your first-world problems about all of this don't really matter a whole lot, do they? Get over yourself and do something constructive.
