Usain Bolt Bolting to the NFL ?
There are rumors floating around that Olympic Golde Medalist spinter Usain Bolt is being scouted by NFL teams. As you can recall Usain Bolt is perhaps at the moment the fastest man in the World. The question is why would Usain bold to the NFL to be tackled by 300 pound men and risk injury. He can easily be a World Wide Superstar. If he does go to the NFL, he would be a risk. Teams would probably only offer him the minimum salary allowed for rookies.... [Read More...]

Argentina defeats Brazil advances to Gold Medal game
Argentina took an early lead over Brazil in the Olympic semifinals game and closed the game 3-0. Lionel Messi played a brilliant game. They will face Nigeria in the Gold Medal Game. I picked Argentina to win the Gold at the beginning of the Olympics. Brazil just didnt have it today. They were shorthanded when the game ended. Two goals by Javier Mascherano, Liverpool will be excited to have him on the pitch. Ronaldinho still seemed a little slow and... [Read More...]
US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team Crushes Germany
The US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team dominated the Germany National Team 106-57. Dirk Nirwitski is contemplating retiring from international basketball and will concentrate on winning an NBA title. The US Team was lead by Dwight Howard who had 22 points on 9 of 10 shooting. Can anyone beat the US team ? The original Dream Team is and will always be the best team perhaps ever formed. This team is a close second. The next generation of players... [Read More...]
Usain Bolt is Insanely Fast Bolts to Gold Medal
Friend told me that Usain Bolt from Jamaica was toying with other runners in the qualifers in the 2008 Olympics, I didnt believe him. But when I saw that final run I was amazed and riveted. This guys is the real deal. I dont think you will find any enhancements on this guy. Usain is not a short stocky guy with a lot of upper body strength. He is a long and lanky runner. Unlike some of these runners who are built like American Football players with... [Read More...]
Lionel Messi and Argentina Unstoppable in Olympics
Can anyone stop Argentina ? Brazil ??? maybe. But Lionel Messi and Argentina are sick. I wonder though if Argentina didnt have Lionel Messi in the lineup would they be winning. Messi, today, scored the first goal and setup the winner in extra time to lead Argentina over the Netherlands. Messi continues to draw comparison to Deigo Maradona. Is he the best player in the World, no? However, he is part of an elite group that is part of the best players... [Read More...]
Michael Phelps is a beast – Wins record 8th gold medal
Michael Phelps is not human. He is perhaps one of the worlds greatest athletes. I would suffice to say to put him in the same class as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. I’ve been debating if an average person were to train for four years straight, if that was your job, would you be able to compete with Jordan, Woods, and Phelps ? Phelps is definitely not an average guy. His body is not the average. A short guy in the best shape, training it up... [Read More...]
Spanish Soccer Team Slant Eye Picture
Spain Slant Eye Picture Something that has gone under the radar is the picture of the Spanish Soccer Team pulling their eye’s back to mimic the slant eyes of the Chinese. From ABC7news.com: It’s a racially pejorative pose not often associated with goodwill in the United States and many other countries, where a similar gesture is more likely to be seen on a school playground than coming from Olympic statesman. How bad is this ? Bad enough.... [Read More...]
Argentina continues to roll in Olympic Soccer Tournament Quarterfinal
Argentina defeated Serbia 2-0 to take Group A with the maximum amount of points in the Olympics. They have now won 9 straight times in the Olympics dating back to 2004 in Athens. I dont think anyone can beat Argentina. Brazil maybe the only team that can match up against Agentina, but still Brazil look shaky early in the tournament. They will advance out of Group C. Nigeria defeated the US 2-1. It was difficult seeing the US not advance. All they... [Read More...]
Mark Spitz Snubbed at the Beijing Olympics
Mark Spitz is upset that he was not invited to the Olympics to see his records broken by Michael Phelps. Dude…. Get over it. Check out how old and crusty he is and his Magnum PI mustache. Mark Spitz Now and Then “I never got invited. You don’t go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am,” Spitz told AFP in Hong Kong. “I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record... [Read More...]
