2012 Summer Olympics - London Games

I guess the big deal is that no one can remember something like this happening before at the Olympics. Personally, if you've been that dominant in your sport, I think you're allowed to flaunt it. In fact, I'd be a little disappointed if you didn't.

Track and Field stars, especially the sprinters, have no shortage of hubris. Hard to say if this is too much.

Burroughs beat Gourdarzi in the finals at last year's Worlds, 3-2, 4-1. Coach Mark Manning said we haven't seen Burroughs' best here yet.

I'm guessing that's Central? You know, since my neck of Nebraska is Mountain time

I think he was talking about the REAL Nebraska, not you tag-alongs out west. Why don't you people secede and join Wyoming already? Hicks!

I kid because I love.

:lol: Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly), I know some people that actually think that's a good idea.

are there ways to test negitive when in fact you are doping? I find it surprising that any athlete would dope and risk the publicity of getting caught. I really don't know the in and out of how illegal drugs can get overlooked but it seems to me that they are rigid anti doping measure in place.

Wow... that men's BMX final must've been something. The American went in as the top qualifier, and ended up clear behind the pack. Must've been a wreck of some type, only thing I can think of.

I don't. We'd have to give up carhenge- the #2 wackiest landmark.

I wouldn't say "offended." I might have rolled my eyes a little bit.

It's not a lot different than the guys who win major professional championships. They believe they're pretty hot stuff. There are, on every championship team, people who fully believe they deserved to win.

I can't argue with it. In this case they are pretty hot stuff.
