Women's Olympic Wrestling? Oh yeah!

i didn't know women's wrestling even existed in the Olympics. seeing the 55kg gold medal match was a nice benefit of having a little case of insomnia. don't believe me that women's wrestling exists? just take a look at this guy:



or this japanese dude that won the gold:



sadly, none of these fine athletes were in the Beijing games:



not even Mt. Fuji:



oh well. maybe if she trains hard enough, she can get there in 2012!

Marvin didn't try to be Magic

if you've watched any Olympics coverage, you've no doubt seen the Nike commercial featuring a short version of this performance. simply put, the best and smoothest version of our national anthem i've ever heard. it's weird that this wasn't more popular before Nike used it (or maybe it was and i just didn't know it).

Breaking Favre News!

i'm more than a little tired of all the Brett Favre coverage. i hate when any one player becomes bigger than the team. this video has over 54,000 views. what is it? it's Brett running one lap at Jets camp because he fumbled during a drill. that's it. Brett running a lap. i'm embarrassed that i'm 1 of the 54,000 that watched it. why can't i stop contributing to the madness?!



i'm not sure what i was expecting to see. was i hoping a crazed Packer fan would run out and latch onto Brett without ever letting go? was i hoping he'd fall and hurt himself? i wonder how many laps Noodle Arm Pennington used to have to run? maybe he was too tired from running laps to pay effectively on sundays? there's your lesson, Dolphins!

i do think that it would be hilarious if after all this brouhaha, Favre got injured in the first couple games of the season and didn't play again. and while i'm tired of all the coverage, i can't begin to explain how nice it is to watch this much drama happen to another team. ROT IN HELL, TERRELL OWENS! FLY EAGLES FLY!
