    Your point about the doping was a good one, but then bringing up Phelps and Lochte doesn't help your argument.

    Well shit. I was pulling for Lolo.

    Who was comparing Harper to Gatlin?

    Here, I'll make it easy:

    Based on his performance over the last few years a reasonable person has to conclude that Tyson Gay has a Gillette endorsement only because he's good looking.

    Fourth place? What a no-talent hack, getting by on her looks.

    I can't wait to hear what Jere thinks about all the undeserved publicity given to that attention whore Rafalca.

    If they aren't the dumbest thing in the Olympics, those little hats the horses wear in equestrian must be in the top two.

    I like Tyson Gay. I don't know him personally, but every interview I've seen he comes across as a decent person. I haven't seen all the interviews, so I can't verify that, but from what I've seen he's OK in my book. I follow him on twitter and he's been tweeting up a storm that he was sorry for letting everyone down.

    I have met Gay, and he's a class act. His publicist/handler at the time was one of the biggest pains in the ass ever, but once I got to Tyson, he couldn't have been nicer, more candid or more accessible.

    I'm glad someone can personally verify that then. Makes it even better.

    Can't walk the walk. It's a metaphor for what portends our future.
