Dwade is filthy, He should have taken that mid-range jumper when he shook his defender.

Wow, what a day.

Missed Phelps this morning
but luckily I got to see the replay.
Close one, indeed.
But what is there to say?
The guy is just AMAZING!

While I waited for USA vs. Spain, I
just missed the "Usain Bolt Take 'Em
All to School Show". That was insane.
For those that haven't seen the replay:
I hope you catch it somewhere...
I've never seen a man displaying such
calm while totally dominating the field.
Heck, the new record could've been 9.60
or thereabouts if he hadn't decided to
celebrate 10 to 15 meters from the goal line.
Very impressive, indeed.

USA vs. Spain:
I waited all day to watch the game and I find
out that Danish tv won't show it! Switched the
channels and find out that Swedish tv will show
the second half. They show a lot of different
stuff and when they finally decide to air the game,
there's like 5 minutes left in the 3rd period.
They top it off by saying "we have to make room for
the news" with 4 minutes remaining in the 4th...
Hmmmmm. The game was already decided but I was
quite disappointed, considering the fact I had waited
all day and only got to see 11 minutes of b-ball  ???

Wow!  Just wow!  Phelps was impressive, but did u guys see that 100m race?  Ussein "Lightning" Bolt breaking the record WHILE slowing down?  I have never seen that on a 100m race!  He could've completely destroyed that record!  Just amazing!!!
Baby Jesus!
