8/13: More Phelps, AI #2, 19-17?

  • Olympics=Laughter...Michael Phelps is unbeatable...to the tune of 2 more WR's and 2 more golds....USA women gymnastics goes down....hard....Bela Karolyi (long-time USA gymnastics coach) was utterly priceless in the studio...in his crazy accent yelling and screaming about China having 13 year-olds on the team and stuff....classy...
  • Enough of that....How bout a 19-17 baseball game! Boston "holds on" to win 19-17 after putting up a 10-spot in the first and being caught from behind....David Ortiz hit 2 separate 3-run bombs in the inning....wow....only in a game involving the Rangers...
  • MLB: Gary Sheffield is on waivers...in probably the most public waiver clearing process I've ever seen....isn't it supposed to be on the DL?....Tim Lincecum got bashed in the knee with a liner....best wishes to the best pitcher in the NL this year IMO....
  • Madden 2009 is out....it's a shame I don't have a game system anymore....but this is a national holiday for the gaming world....don't play with the Falcons! but if you do...I'd use Jerrious Norwood....alot...
  • Andre Iguodala signs for 6 years/80 mill to stay in Philly....that's almost 13.5 mill a year for those of you scoring at home...I think it's a bit much...but so is 11.5 for Josh Smith....so who's counting?
  • To recap a story from yesterday, Georgia OT Trinton Sturdivant is in fact out for the year...big blow to them....as much as no one wants to admit it...I thought Ohio State had the most complete returning roster even before this....ugh....
More later...

Actually, Turner is an absolute beast in Madden, like literally to the tune of 700 yds in 4 games on All-Madden.
