Somewhere, Allen Iverson is smiling today & saying "I told you so". Michael Phelps proves that "practice, practice, practice" in the end falls short to drinking, smoking & God-given talent.

I think the US was leading the total count in '08, while China had more gold, so we were all saying most medals wins and he was just having one of his implosions. So enjoyable to watch.

So enjoyable to stir the wok... er... pot.

The IOC sorts by gold medals first, almost every US news source sorts by most medals. Ralph liked the IOC method because it made China look better.

Currently tied at 18 Golds each, US leads Total count by 3

B.S. Ralph was about one step to the right of being a Chinese-type communist anyways....having a Chinese girlfriend made perfect sense for him.

Seems like once you get past gymnastics and diving the Chinese fall off pretty quickly in the medal count.

She'll be 18 in 50 days.

This is the closest I can get of an ass shot of her, apparently someone is on to me.

Anyone watchin' this Federer-Del Potro match? I woke up at 9am and turned it on and the match was in the second set. I then went back to sleep and I just woke up and it's only in the third set at 15-15.

Olympic tennis. Sounds exciting.

I'm looking forward to the Dressage and Race Walking.

I heard that malls all over America were searched for the best Race Walker.

I don't like Olympic sports where the gold medal isn't the ultimate prize in that sport.

Soccer = World Cup
Tennis = Grand Slam
Basketball = NBA Championship (for US players and since the US almost always wins (13 of 16)).

Hockey is borderline. I think most players would still rather have a Cup, but there's no denying that the USA/Canada gold medal game was one of the best hockey games in history.

Well at least for this Olympic finals, tennis has some meaning. This is the last hurrah for the Fed and it's the only thing he hasn't won. Looking forward to the Murray/Fed final!

Alex Morgan owns the New Zealand goalie. This is why you should vote for her in the sports babe thread.
