Still plenty of time to stock up on snacks, warm up the big screen, and head on down to Rio for tonight’s men’s beach volleyball gold medal game between the awesome Alison (Cerruti) and Bruno (Schmidt) and some guys from Italy who are going to go down hard in the sands of Copacabana. Alison is called Mamut, The Wooly Mammoth, which is the best nickname, so of course we here at World Headquarters are rooting for him and his seemingly diminutive partner, Bruno, who is actually six foot one. Go, team Mammoth!
