Yep..but u know, homeboy that one yesterday, he's got to eat a slice of humble pie. My man is a little caught up. Even in the interview after he just ran, he was a little short with the cat. he's got to get some grace I feel. I know he's young but that's no excuse. And somebody tell him to STOP looking at himself on the jumbotron! Damn. He's never seen himself in the mirror?!

Sacramone; no redemption, but she's still sexy!

Venus & Serena Williams win the gold medal in doubles again! With Federer and Wawrinka winning gold yesterday, this has become my favorite doubles tournament ever!

Big congrats to Michael Phelps...The dude is amazing. Haven't seen anyone mention about Jamica's Usain Bolt. This cat ran a 9.69 in the 100 which was a world's record. But the main thing that blew my mind was the way the cat won. He pulled up, actually slowing down a good 20 meters before he got to the finish line. And he STILL was WAAAAY ahead of everybody else. He could have ran a 9.59 if he had ran full speed straight through, I think. He was so far ahead of everyone else, it was crazy. Even after he slowed down, he was still way ahead of everyone esle. The cat who got second place was so excited that he acted happier than Bolt did. Man, I've never seen a cat just destroy their compettion in track. In a 100 yrd dash even. This cat has serious speed. And is 6'5. If he goes to the NFL as a wide receiver, u could forget it. Nobody on the field could even begin to think about covering this cat. On ESPN, they mentioned what he would do if he went that route. The cat may not even like football.

...and I had also heard somewhere that he had to be wearing Speedo for each gold in order to collect.

That was so fun to watch

Oh yeah, dude is cocky as fuck! But the thing is, he can be that way since there's NO ONE close to touching him yet. I dop't see him losing for at least another 4 years.

None of the other teams looks all that hot this year and everyone keeps talking about how the US will need to make their free throws/shoot better from 3/play better defense etc. when they get to the crux of the tournament.

The Ball Don't Lie live blog is dubbing this Wade 2.0 and from what I've seen I wouldn't disagree. He's looking to stuff everything and is jumping out of the building. Love the intensity. Great defense from D.Wade. I've even caught Melo playing some D at times.

Showed how good MJ's record was, Bolt had to give it laldy to beat it, not like that half arsed 100m record.

Greatest. Sprinter. Ever. Period.

MuthaFunka said:

Greatest runner, any distance?

mcmeekle said:

Nope. Just the sprints. If he's clean, takes his gifts seriously and trains, and doesn't get injured - He's gonna be unbeatable for at LEAST 4 years.

MuthaFunka said:

"If he's clean" - First thought I had after the 100m was Ben Johnson...

And who's a better runner, in your opinion? You can include the girls...
