Sarge -

He has one now? Good for him! Looks like she gave his emotional energy a boost instead of draining it like his coach feared!

USARonin, franknbeans,

You two are funny.

there is no reason to act up. Phelps beefcake posters will be out soon and the large Olympic Wheaties boxes are still priced under $5.

-Please be patient.

All in all, this thread has shown there are a lot of patrons of this site who aren't sports people and just don't get it.

8 for 8!

All the dissenters, US haters, and trash talkers can put THAT in their pipes and smoke it.

Phelps is the GREATEST EVER!

Yep... the "arrogant" one has his 8 gold medals. Who wouldn't be arrogant with not only at attempt like that, but actually pulling it off?

8 for 8! Yeah, baby!

Lucky number 8! That it was a team effort just seals the deal.

Flammenwerfer, you last two posts were excellent. Spot on.

And Phelps, go ahead and yell. You did what everyone thought was impossible. Thanks for the inspiration!

"but we wont hear much from the british in this Olympics will we?"

With all the medals they won over the weekend you must be smarting. Again Blighty punches well above it's weight!

He didn't yell long, or not all, each time after he won. However, he yelled longest after he won the relays, because it seems he really enjoys winning with a team than just by himself.

Er... Mark spits, Michael yelps... it's a sad day when such a thread makes it to the very top of the JT Popular thread list.

Happy to say I made a terribly wrong assumption. I thought the days of English sporting glory was over, but the medal count shows the Brits have made a come back. What's happening over there??
