Congrats to Phelps for passing the entire men's gymnastics and diving teams as world's biggest momma's boy...

Phelps must hold the world record for a 23 year-old man kissing his momma on tv...

Phelps has one lovely momma... estranged her boy from his dad... put him on ADHD drugs (only on school days... yes, that's a real disease?)... and a public school principal ta boot.

The U. S. of A. should be proud.

So what popgun! 8 gold metals in one games is incredible, you obviously know zip about the sport, so why not just stick to HM hugging!

What's the matter - did he rebuke the HM swimming recruiters?

Congrats to Phelps for passing the entire men's gymnastics and diving teams in medal count!

I think they might win one in the trampoline

Their national anthem needs to be heard but they might have to wait for the winter olympics

I think they also hit in rowing.... All the big sports.

Too bad there isn't an Olympic lumberjack competition. They'd kick ass.

They discovered the fountain of youth and all athletes must drink from it at an early age

Isn't chinese read from right to left? so really 12 years of age would be 21 so no problem or else they are 61

I think you are on to something TA.

Are they standing on the podiums? I know when I was watching it I noticed that Nastia was taller than them on the podium, but that would be a huge difference.

I don't get it... Maybe it's because I'm in a baseball/football mindset, but I'm of the opinion that if you're 20, been training since you were about 2, and can't beat a 13 year old, you don't really deserve to gripe.

I understand that you become less flexible when you get older (I haven't been able to bend my knees for about 15 years), but you're telling me that flipping around on those bars with arms and pushing off a vault (or whatever that thing is after they vault) is somehow beneficial before you're able to develop arm strength? I don't buy it.

Karolyi was saying in an interview that it's because the younger kids don't understand the pressure. For them it's just another day at the gym. So, when the college age girls were knowing that 19 years of training was coming down to the next 10 seconds of their life, they choke. A twelve year old has another chance, and they know it.

course this is the same guy that said years ago that once a girl grew hips they were useless as a gymnast, maybe it has more to do with that.

I thought I heard that that the reason for the rule in the first place was to not put that kind of pressure on a kid... If they're not feeling it anyway, what's the difference? Friggin' Romanians.

Besides, that Johnson chick is only 16, so she should still have another shot in 2012, right?

Still have a little of the Eastside verbiage in me.

It was either that or "broad". I figured I would've set off Dmom if I tried that.

And that would bother us how ?
Ya know there is no title IX on the "bored"

As the token Harding grad on the "bored"I would have to take offense to what Govs has to say, most of the eastside females I know are much more "broads" than they are "chicks" and what fun would be if I wasn't mad????

I'm no expert on the east side, but the last time I drove through (with the doors locked) I didn't see any chicks OR broads. Mostly I saw what Imus got in trouble for...

[tomASS]

Title what????

I thought it was Entitled IX, but I better be careful since my daughter (and my pocket book ) are benefitting from her soccer scholarship ..........so never mind.

Govs I agree that if a younger person can beat an older person there is nothing wrong with that. I don't disagree the toddler might be a better gymnast than the older ones, but why have age rules then? just do away with them instead of making a mockery of them.

I don't recall Imus ever getting in hot water for anything related to finely tuned athletes, pillars of community, or handsome devils.

You sound like Wild Bill with the beginning of that rebuttal

.... finely tuned athletes, pillars of community, or handsome devils.

yep, that's the eastside I remember
