We will probably never be confused with having flag-waving patriotism, but we couldn't help ourselves tonight during the Men's 4x100 meter freestyle swimming relay.
Our biggest beef with the Olympics is all the judged sports. It's one thing to have a referee watching to make sure rules are adhered to, such as basketball or soccer, but it's totally different, and it totally blows, when competitions are decided completely by judges. We have no time for gymnastics, diving, etc. Therefore in our minds, as far as the Olympics are concerned, nothing measures up to races and lifts. Competitors are either faster, or they're stronger, or they're not.That relay earlier tonight was incredible. It kept our man Michael Phelps on his Spitzian quest, the fact that they came from so far behind, that they came from so far behind on the world record holder, that that world record holder had talked mad shit about them, and that that that that that shit talker is French and swims for Team France!!! The story lines here are off the chain!!! We love exclamation points!!!
How this isn't our national anthem yet is beyond us. We know it's not because G-dub doesn't want it to be.
