The opening ceremony was spectacular. It was really inspiring to see that guy in the wheelchair pull himself up 50+ meters using a rope to light the flame. It was really inspiring and showed the true spirit of the Olympics. I'm really looking forward to these Paralympic Games. Good luck…

Some really comical stuff from Fifa.

I agree. In the lead up to World Cup 2006, there were some dodgy refereeing going on in the African qualifying campaign, the Asia qualifiers, and the CONCACAF qualifiers. I really hope they clamp down on all the "home-ground" obvious refereeing payoffs. It…

Good to see the IOC clamping down more on these things, but I wish they would do it a bit sooner and imgold:

You see, like the hammer throw doping cases, there were several other athletes who were involved in doping. From the reports coming in, there have been several…

Yeah, Nissan is going well, but I love Hondas too. In fact, Hondas and Nissans have placed four of the top ten cars which are the least expensive for repair costs, in the U.S.

I also like Uniqlo. High-quality clothes at a cheap price. I especially like the "Dry" line of clothing for summer that they have. No matter how much you sweat in them, they dry quickly; thus no "gym-locker, moldy" smell from them. Also, I have several Uniqlo shirts and jeans which…

got 3 vaio laptops, all of them junk

What the hell are you doing with three VAIO laptops? Um, I'm no rocket scientist, but if I were you and found one Sony VAIO to be junk, I wouldn't go out and buy another, and another. Duh? As for me,…

For all we know they decided to celebrate their proposal with a good old fashioned rollick in the hay.

Exactly. The American media outlets love to blow things out of proportion and make something out of nothing. Shame on CNN, Fox, The New York Times, The Washington Post, of course…

It is good to see Obama do the honorable and right thing by not focusing on Palin's unmarried daughter. Boo on the American media that always love to create something out of nothing. It is time media outlets in the U.S. get their acts together and show real news and…

Obviously, those two thought they could get away with it. It's good to see that Murofushi, as well as other non-cheaters, stuck to their guns and didn't take any drugs to cheat. Let this be a lesson to all would-be cheaters: Cheaters never win!

Awesome job, Kei! A lot of upside since he's only 18 and I love that move where he jumps in the air to slam it into the opponent's court. Exciting player to watch. Certainly a crowd-pleaser. He just needs to gain more experience and mental fortitude.
