Yeah the business sense is its biggest downfall. Kind of reminds me of those CD stalls you used to see in record stores back in the early 90s, where you could "build your own CD" by choosing songs and it would make a CD for you. Didn't fly then, so I doubt my idea will fly now, but hey, dare to...

Yeah DVD or Blu-Ray (really unlikely) would be cool. Actually, a great idea would be a "Build Your Own" disc. You can choose the sports finals (let's just say it's the medal rounds because it would be too much to try and capture all the events and all of the rounds), and you pay per event...

Yep, that Roy Jones fight was the first real concrete memory I have of an Olympic travesty. I was in my early teens at the time, and watching my first real Olympics with my father, and it was so apparent even to me who won the fight. It was like watching a 100m runner come in 20m ahead of 2nd...

That may be true, but I still wouldn't hold that against him. Because the confluence of such things: genetic gifts plus heart and desire, is so rare. That's called a once in a generation athlete. Michael Jordan had inordinately large hands for his size and had a great vertical, but no one...

If it really were that easy to "pile on the gold" due to the nature of swimming events in the Olympics, then all of the top gold medal winners would be swimmers. But only one (Spitz) is up there (of the four that Phelps won). Why? Because no matter how many chances you get to medal: you still...

I know it's semantics, but I have no problem with "Greatest Olympian." What is the point of competing in the Olympics? To win gold. Who has won more? No one. Now if they said he was the greatest Olympic Athlete - I'd have definite beefs, because as people have noted, there other more...

Here's what Phelps has won gold in for 2004 and 2008: 100m butterfly (2004 and 2008) 200m butterfly (2004 and 2008) 200m individual medley (2004 and 2008) 400m individual medley (2004 and 2008) 4x200m freestyle relay (2004 and 2008) 4x100m individual medley (2004) 4x100m freestyle...

By the way, not knowing anything about her, am I the only one who did a double take when Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry was interviewed? :D

I think my girlfriend just called me out on my man-crush for Phelps. :D Yep, that 4x100 freestyle relay was pretty much the best team swimming event I've ever seen. Love how Weber-Gale knew that everyone was shooting Phelps so he ducked under his arm while celebrating. I wonder how many...

Yeah I didn't know it was Zhang Yimou either. When that woman was dancing while being carried by a horde of people, I said to my girlfriend, hey she looks like she's dressed like Zhang Ziyi in House of Flying Daggers and she's about to play the "Bean/Drum game" :D An absolutely stunning...
