I actually have been watching quite a bit of the Olympics the last few days. Swimming to be specific. I made a HUGE mistake by not watching the 4 X 100 relay late last night. In case you have been under a rock and did not hear, Jason Lezak made up a full body length on Frenchman Alain Bernard to lead the US to Olympic Gold. The commentator's call will go down in history as one of the most memorable of all time.
What is so great about it? Let's see. This was the one event that Michael Phelps was not favored in his quest for 8 Golds. Jason Lezak, a 31 year old set the world record split in leading us to Gold. Oh, did I mention that Bernard was the former record holder in the 100 and said the the French were going to "CRUSH" us?
Qu'est-ce que c'est, Alain? That would be you having to stand next to Michael Phelps while listening to the Star Spangled Banner.
Damn, I am patriotic!
