I'm currently watching the US women's volleyball team struggle with Japan. We aren't passing well and Japan is impressing me with their defense.

We all know why youre watching. :D

Why does any guy watch women's volleyball? It ain't just for the mad skills. :)

Is Michael Phelps the most dominant athlete of all time in his respective sport? He's embarrassing the best swimmers in the world in pretty much every event he's in. Rediculous.

It is. He's kinda like what Tiger Woods was to golf, only better. Much better.

Wife of the USA VB coach killed - if the TV report was correct.

Added: My error. "Todd Bachman, father of 2004 U.S. Olympic women's indoor volleyball player Elisabeth Bachman McCutcheon, was fatally stabbed by a knife-wielding Chinese attacker in downtown Beijing just after noon."

Phelps is incredible. He obliterated the WR in the 400 IM in what was perhaps his last time to swim that event.


What a way to go out.

Michael is disgustingly good

Men's soccer.....US men gave up an early goal against the heavily favored Netherlands side but came out in the 2nd half and totally dominated play.

Scoring 2 times they looked to take the group and advance but totally went stupid and gave up a tying goal in the 93rd minute.

Fake injuries, 3 yellows (one for delay that cost a possession)and a free kick led to the inevitable.....

Really hurts to give back a tie when they so dominated play for most of the game.

Nevertheless, if you would have said we have 4 points after 2 games, most people would be not only surprised, but thrilled.

so far USA is taking themselves out of the game.

China is looking good but not that good

He isn't playing now and some think he may not play for quite a while.


And Phelps set that WR in his not so strong event. That's what's scary about the guy. Hopefully he gets all 7 gold medals. That'd be a good way to end your olympic career (possibly).

Sabre is our best event. :D

You sure know a lot about something you don't care that much about..

im not doubting Phelps achievements the man is bad and is extremely dominant in his sport.

my question was in regards to Tiger Woods being talked about in the past tense. Until he comes back and actually proceeds to fall off is when you can do so. Until then everybody else is just a pretender to the throne.
