    Why? He will make tons of money and he will be back for at least two more Olympics.

    I don't believe so. She struggled just to get into the final, and I'm not sure she had much left in the tank.

    Bolt will become Tiger rich from this Olympics. He hardly needs to spend his Sunday's in Jacksonville.

    I just figured that finishing as poorly as Ross-Williams did (2.5 secs behind seventh), something must've happened...

    With a medal count of 7 (4 of them gold) and a population less than 2.8 million, does that make Jamaica the per capita leader?

    U.S. volleyball down 8-7 in the fifth set, and NBC goes to a commercial.

    Thanks, morans.

    Tied at 9 now.

    Sirs, Madames,

    This would make sense if the NFL goes to a 200-metre field. Otherwise, no. He couldn't stand the hours and the cut in pay.

    YD&OHS, etc

    awesome job for u.s. volleyball. Down 7-4 in final set, they outscore Serbia 11-5 to win the match.

    On to the semifinals.

    Yea, he's not exactly known for his work ethic. His coach wanted him to run the 400, but he didn't want to because it's too much work.
