As I mentioned previously I used to be a huge Carl Lewis fan. I loved watching the sprint events of the Olympics. Therefore when Gay hurt his hamstring 6 weeks ago in Eugene, Oregon I became nervous that USA's #1 100m gold medal contender may suffer in the Olympics.
Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100 meter ever recorded 6 days before the injury. 9.68. Though wind-aided, AMAZING.
Gay was eliminated with a 5th place finish in his semifinal.

Phelps
Amazing.
I grew up a Carl Lewis fan; who was once tied for the most Olympic gold medals at 9.
Now, Michael Phelps has the record with 11.
He still has three events to go as the favorite where he could receive an unprecedented 8 gold medals in this 2008 Olympics! So far he is 5-for-5; all world records.
AWESOME.

Manny who? We got YOUK!
Tonight's 19-17 victory at Fenway vs. the Texas Rangers very well could be the defining game for the Boston Red Sox this season.
In so many ways I can draw similarities and comparisons of what may be/to come.
From having a pitcher called up to start today/ace Curt Schilling out and giving the reigns to the young guns who've been great at times and young at others; to the 10-0 lead in the first inning/quick start to the season, battling/regaining the AL East top spot before the All-Star break, giving up the lead/Tampa Bay's current lead in the AL East, regaining the lead/HOPEFULLY postseason play, players stepping up/HOPEFULLY back-to-back AL Championship; and even closing the game with a little extra drama/POSSIBLY winning the World Series back-to-back but not in another sweep of the NL champions ...

Men's Gymnastics
I've grown obsessed watching the Olympics.
Those gymnasts are absolutely amazing. Their strength, balance and agility is unfathomable.

Team USA
wins debut by 31 over host China, 101-70.
Team USA turned the ball over on its first possession and Yao Ming proceeded to give China a 3-0 lead when he hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
Team USA went up 28-21 early in the second quarter, but China tied it at 29-29 on another 3-pointer with six minutes to play in the first half.
That’s when Team USA responded with a 16-3 run capped by 3 dunks; a proud display showing their superior athleticism and one-on-one play.
BUT Team USA shot a woeful 7/29 from the INTERNATIONAL three-point line ... it may come back to bite 'em just like the Memphis Tigers foul shooting in the NCAA championship ...
