I admit it. I don’t watch the gymnastics. I’ve read too much about the ugly side of the sport and quite frankly, it makes me a bit ookey.
Nastia Liukin and China’s He Kexin tied for the gold in gymnastics uneven parallel bars. And in some wacky tie-breaker that no-one they gave it to He Kexin. [...]
Yes. I do.
Here’s why. The women are tall and tan and young and lovely. They play a great fundamental game – it’s not all about power like the men’s game. There’s sand and sun, so if you’re not looking at the venue, it looks like you’re at the beach.
Oh and did I mention, tall and [...]
Oh yes, there are other Olympic swimming stories, boys and girls. In case you missed it.
Rebecca Soni, silver medalist in the 100M breaststroke, set a world record in the 200M breaststroke, beat reigning champ, Leisel Jones, from the Land of Oz.
This is a great story folks. She finished a full-body length ahead of Jones, breaking [...]

You know who “he” is. Michael Phelps, the man who has cornered the market on Beijing bling. The owner of six [...]
Well, he now holds the record for most gold medals at 11 and counting, so do we now consider him to be the greatest Olympian of all time?

Last night Michael Phelps won his third gold medal of this Olympics in world record time tying a bunch of folks, including Carl Lewis, for most Olympic gold medals. Aaron Piersol and Natalie Coughlin both defended their Olympic championship in their respective gender’s 100 meter backstroke.
In gymnastic news, the American men, without the Hamm brothers, [...]
I think this picture speaks for itself. Canadian diver, Alexandre Despatie, shows off his package form. He may not win a medal, but I bet he’s gonna score.
Thanks for this one, Tim.
Olympic Gold Medalist Misty May has the round, sexy butt. I would have smacked it if I was the Prez. Especially because he’s a lame duck…can you imagine the questions he’d be getting on the lecture circuit if he’d have smacked it?

[G]old medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh gave the chief executive [...]
Going out on a limb here, but I predict Olympic Gold Medalist, Michael Phelps goes goes 8 for 8. Good luck, hon! The toughest one is over – the one against the French. Rooting for the French is like rooting for the Dallas Cowboys or the Duke Blue Devils. I question people’s judgement and integrity [...]
