The Olympics Thread

[TYLERTECHSAS]

I didn't know it was physically possible for me to cheer out loud at my television for a swim race, but France just got ****whipped by Jason Leezak and the US in the men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay. And by ****whipped I mean by 8/100ths of a second. France talked some junk before the race saying they were going to "smash the Americans". The **** talker got ran down in the last 15 meters or so in dramatic fashion.

Phelps swam the lead leg of the race and is now 2/2 for gold in his events.

Our house was yelling as well! Watching him catch that pompous frog and pass him was Da Bomb!!! All I can say is WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!

I didn't know you could "hump it" in the freestyle relay, but USA's anchor was "humping it"!

I'm still pumped up Pix. That just made the whole Olympics for me. NOTHING beats the American spirit. NEVER DOUBT IT. I want to run through a BRICK WALL right now.

WOO!!

I am still pumped. Where Hacksaw Jim Duggan at?!

USA! USA! USA!

It's a swimmers version of drafting. If you watch it again look for him to get real close to the lane of the French swimmer.

It was amazing. I have never seen anything like that before.

I stayed up to watch it because they mentioned the French were trash-talking about smashing the Americans in this race. I normally don't get too excited during swimming events - but with about 25 meters to go and Lezak closing the gap, I jumped off the sofa and was screaming at the top of my lungs for this guy and the team and for USA! What a moment. And to see the French guy's face at the end was priceless!

After the race, one of French swimmers was quoted as saying, "A fingertip did the victory, it is nothing."

Guess which fingertip it was...LOL!

It was awesome. If the trash talking hadn't have happened I would not have stayed up so I thank the French for making jackasses of themselves and allowing me to witness this awesome race.

Don't you know Bush especially enjoyed seeing that one, up close and personal, after all of the crap France has given us during his 2 terms.

Did y'all see how LeBron James greeted GHWB before their game? "What's up, pops?"

What type of life event do you think a man would have to endure before he can convince himself that it is a GOOD idea to participate in a synchronized sport, particularly synchronized diving?

Funny you mention it. I've never been attracted to synchronized sports, but I have this strange, mystical relationship with palindromes. Every time my odometer produces one, I get, well, moved. Like the feeling a lot of people get when they see an exceptionally beautiful sunset? I get that when my odometer gives me a palindrome.
