The latest buzz in Beijing is emanating from the pool housed inside the magnificent “water cube”. All eyes are transfixed on one man, Michael Phelps, the human porpoise. There is no doubt in any one’s mind that Phelps is an amazing swimmer, quite possibly the best Olympian swimmer of all times. If Phelps surpasses Mark Spitz’s 7 gold medals in the 72′ Munich Olympics then he will unquestionably be the greatest Olympic swimmer of all times. As of now Phelps has 11 gold medals, 6 from Athens 04′ and 5 from Beijing. With 3 events left he has the opportunity of sweeping this summer’s swimming competition, giving Phelps 14 total golds. Phelps has already surpassed the previous record of 10 total gold medals held by fellow swimmer Mark Spitz and track and field legend Carl Lewis; making Phelps the winningest Olympian in history.

Look - I just turned 5
So the Olympics are finally underway and now we all have the pleasure of watching 24hour non stop coverage of…commercials. I have never seen this many commercials in my life. The U.S must love the fact that the Olympics are being held in China; with their 12 hour time gain they get to show us chopped up reruns and plug-in about 30minutes of commercials in 1 hour of coverage. The only way I can watch these Olympics is by TiVOing them, otherwise I may actually find myself buying the scintillating and sexy Sean John cologne. P.Diddy says that if I buy his cologne “I will be a baller and every Nubian princess will be mine”, I’m starting to believe him.
Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to convey how much I hate commercials. Tonight I decided to watch the live feed of the women’s gymnastics at 12:00 EST, way past my bed time. This was the first time I made the plunge into the live broadcast. Generally, I am no fan of gymnastics and was hoping NBC would televise table tennis but I was not that lucky. According to the IOC, all athletes must be at least 16 years of age. The U.S team seems to be of age except Shaun Johnson, who is about 6 inches shorter than her 5′ colleagues. So the U.S women’s team does their floor routine and they jump on the horse and swing on the monkey bars, making detrimental mistakes at every turn and falling ever so gracefully. When the Americans were done doing their thing the Chinese, who were the favorites, rolled in on their strollers and put the U.S away. Read More>>>

King Roger
For those of you that don’t know or just don’t care, Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The reason I say he is not the greatest is because he still has yet to break Sampras’s record of 14 majors. Roger has amassed a dedicated fan base that respects the Swiss star for his humble off court and tenacious on court personality. This guy is a winner. He is the Tiger Woods of golf but garners about half the respect. Read More

These are the five mascots, Fuwa, for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in China. They were created by the Chinese folk artist Han Meilin. Each mascot is supposed to portray one of the 5 Chinese elements of nature: the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky. Apparently, all 5 of those hentai looking voodoo dolls are an animal! Read More
