ZippyRulz Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 I guess MSNBC is good for something after all US women swept the sabre fencing event.Those Chinese really love their hoops (national team and NBA). Good to see the kid from Akron there. I wonder how many Cavs jerseys were in the crowd? Quote
ZippyRulz Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Posted August 11, 2008 China is kicking our butt in weightlifting. Maybe we should be over there recruiting linemen. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Posted August 13, 2008 Greatest swimmer ever. I hope we don't hear about doping after this is over.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080813/ap_on_...ly_swm_swimmingLezak was also amazing anchoring the 4x100 freestyle to beat the French.http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/politi/ind...spectacula.htmlI heard that Mark Spitz was upset that nobody invited him to the games for the breaking of his records. I'm a little surprised NBC didn't offer to and dramatize that part of the story a little. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 Now it's 'Greatest Athlete in the World':http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx...bd-c6f9ce9e8868Let's see, if he's 23 now and swims until he's 35 he could get in 3 more Olympics after this...scary. Quote

zippyrifle32 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I open up my web browser (homepage set to yahoo) and low and behold the feature story was on the American shooter Matt Emmons! Mr. and Mrs. Shooting Quote
ZippyRulz Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Posted August 16, 2008 Did you shoot against him in college? I see he is an Alaska-Fairbanks alum. It had to suck mistakenly shooting at the wrong target in Athens...they must be placed pretty close together for that to happen Glad he got a silver this time out. Quote
zippyrifle32 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 No, we never shot against UAF during my time at UA. I did get to meet and talk with him one year at the Olympic Training Center while I was there for Junior Olympics. Really great guy and a class act. Quote
Redleg2Signal Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 I don't know if anyone saw it today, but Lester Holt (NBC) interviewed LeBron. There were clips of the two of them shooting hoops in the JAR. I couldn't find any clips on YouTube. Quote
