So that's why he decided to plow out of season?

The hissy fit was thrown in Osaka.
Like Nomo, he has chosen to live in the U.S. for privacy and to get an American education for his children. He has a good life with his wife and two children according to his agent. He lives in Rancho Palos Verdes which has horse trails along many of its streets.

This is the only known cure for bullies the reason being is that they are truly cowards. I love to toss around the yankees standing in the doorways of convenience stores.

Phelps's achievement has been ranked as the greatest ever (Lance Armstrong 2nd) by the readers of ESPN.com. I'm really glad he did it. I just read the other day about how one of his teachers put him down for being hyperactive in class and complained that he couldn't focus. How many readers here have had a student like that. Probably everyone. This great achievement just goes to show that you never know which one of your students is going to go on to greatness. I'd guess the wilder ones always do better no matter what field they choose.

Compared to Edwards, former NY governor Spitzer now appears to be a genius. Or a more economical skirt chaser. His woman only cost $5,000 (plus his job of course). Edwards paid his whore well over a million dollars and she's over 40.

If I had cancer and couldn't perform or wasn't in the mood, I wonder how outraged I'd be if my spouse went out and satisfied a human need.
The fact that Edwards's wife had cancer makes him less of a villain, not more - in my book at least.

GW,
My conscience won't let me toss the electronic babysitter as grammama forked out many thousands of dollars for it. I kick my sand bag, lift my kettlebells or do chin ups to release stress. I've been watching the Olympics on my i-mac by the way.
You don't have any actual opinions on the topic, do you? Give it a try. I'll certainly reply. A little intellectual bruising will do you some good. Here's an example: Michael Phelps is a great teammate. He yells louder for them than he does for himself. I found one video that isolated on Phelps during Lezak's stretch run. He was pulling so hard for his team that he was shaking uncontrollably. He's the best thing about this Olympics and Japan Today is trying to make him look bad.

> I would have done a triple axel flip into the pool the instant Lezak touched the wall. ...and got your team disqualified 'cos other teams were still coming in...... :-0
I would have landed about 15 meters away which would have taken at least five seconds, long enough for even the Brits to finish.

This question is probably unfair to Michael Phelps. I have only seen the final of the relay in which, if he hadn't yelled, I would have considered him desensitized. Does he really yell like that after all of the races as Japan Today's loaded question suggests?
Do you consider Mark Spitz dignified and his rewards miniscule?
Spitz made about $7.5 million within a year of winning seven gold medals much of it from a beefcake poster with him in a speedo and seven gold medals draped across his chest. That would be $37,161,971.83 in 2008 dollars back when the dollar was worth something. The reason he quit swimming was that he was so busy with commercial endorsements.
He has recently been quoted in the press as saying he, too, could have won eight gold medals. He also complained that he was snubbed by the IOC for not inviting him to Beijing as their guest.
He is also a botox addict.
He doesn't wear his trademark mustache anymore because it's too gray.
I'll never forget what Spitz did, though, in 1972. It was really exciting.
Michael Phelps seems very humble in interviews on TV. I see nothing arrogant or off-putting by his behavior in the least.

Until there is proof of that, I would feel ashamed to even suggest that. You do realize that there is testosterone in food, right?
I'm not sure which race you're talking about. I saw the 4x100 men's freestyle relay. I was surprised at how restrained Lezak's teammates were. I would have done a triple axel flip into the pool the instant Lezak touched the wall. Then, I would have climbed out of the pool and made a smashing gesture at the non-American Elaine Barnyard.

He was self-employed. Wouldn't he have been eligible for a pension after 40 enrollment periods? That is possible, but I don't claim to know the answer.
I would assume his life insurance and his personal savings would be a much larger sum than the pension.

so Joji's opinion is based on research, not something his grandmother whispered in his ear? Not sure what we are supposed to think of this description.

I used to think, well, this IS Japan and they should feel free to show Japanese events only to maximize their viewership, but now I think this is the OLYMPICS so they should be exposing their provincial people the world. It might make them more "international".

Sacre bleu, but it's "Elaine" and it's a little late to stop the USA.
We salute our competitors from another continent although our California wines are much better as is the moonshine I make out back in my trash cans. My oh my, these victory fries are delicious.
Hakuna matata you non-Americans. Don't forget, you can use your swim caps if you run out of surrender caps. Au revoir.
