OT - Anyone see Olympics - USA, USA, USA
Did anyone watch the parade on TV Fri night?
I was at singing and when the USA marched on the field the place went nuts yelling and
screaming. I started yelling USA, USA, USA then everyone yelled it.
Felt sorry for the guy singing because I completely drowned him out but didn't mean to.
It was good to see so much patriotism.
Of course they were all conservatives.

Uh oh, Phelps looked tired first night.
French fought back in re-lays.

Damn, still no gold for Phelps as he barely loses by just guiding in to touch the side of pool instead of taking extra stroke.
They're catching up to him but with all those golds, a coule of silvers ani't bad especially at his age.
Games have been very good thus far and the volley ball games especially.

Re: OT - Anyone see Olympics - USA, USA, USA
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
I said that during a 60 Mins interview after the last olympics. He wasn't the same Phelps, very conceded and seemed to have an attitude. Lackadasal during the interview. Even his mom said the only time she speaks to him is through texting.
Then there was the bong incident and bad press and he almost quit. In fact, someone here posted a link that Ray talked him out of it and got him back into training.
He got it all back last night though getting the gold for his 19th medal - most in history.
Two silver, two bronze and the rest gold.
He killed everyone last night making it so easy. he was pissed after missing the gold
before by 5/100 of a second because he just guided to the wall instead of taking one more stroke but he was too tired.The announcer was saying he was using too much energy on his turns.
Then the US relay team got the gold and kicked the Frenchie's ass. They finished by almost half the length of the pool.
They were pissed too after losing to the Frenchies.
That was the old Michael Phelps last night we love during the
interviews.
GREAT OLYMPICS SO FAR.

Re: OT - Anyone see Olympics - USA, USA, USA
Phelps has been swimming every day, for hours a day, for like 16 years or something ridiculous like that.
He's probably burnt out and the guy just turned 27 and because of being an olympian never really had much of a youth or anything. I can kind of understand and sympathize with the guy. He probably just wants to go on about his life.
I think the only thing I can really be critical of is him even going to the Olympics when it is pretty obvious his heart just isn't in it. You don't represent your country on a stage like that if you're not going to give it your all. I mean, he still placed in a lot of events and he didn't train nearly as hard as he did in 2004 and 2008 AND he obviously wasn't going full speed. He could have decimated the competition.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

What's scary to me is how fast China has become a co-favorite overall. For my whole lifetime it was a US vs USSR/Russia for most overall medals and golds. Now China started off edging us out and we have only recently caught up. It's scary jsut how China jsut has to decide to be good at something and within 20 years they are the best.

Judging a 17 year olds tits? Stay classy Trap.
My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Of course it was a joke Trap. Because normal people are always joking about the secondary sexual characteristics of children.

Re: OT - Anyone see Olympics - USA, USA, USA
Coming from you that's a compliment but try to contribute something to the forum for a change but I'll make a deal
with you Spam. If you try to be nice, I'll try to be classy.
BTW, although she's legally a child, she's not the child you make her out to be. She's in a woman's body and old
enough to get knocked up like Bristol Palin at that age. Palin even said it's silly for her parents to expect hi school
teenagers to abstain from sex.
So that makes their bodies fair game in the joke dept as your liberal media sure made fun at Bristol calling Sarah Palin
the bastardization of America. Now that was vicious from your side. I doubt that
Missy abstained from sex too as many if not most high schooler don't.
Just saying ya know?Last edited by AirFlacco; 08-06-2012 at 08:59 AM.
