USA vs. Greece

Lebron James rising for a dunk against Greece

I'm in love with our USA Men's basketball team. "The Redeem Team" as they've been dubbed are rolling strong to a GOLD medal. Its an exciting time to be a basketball fan.
Last night, (or this morning rather) they took down a very strong Greek team by a score of 91-69. Another game closer to the shiny gold medals.
Dazzling dunks, great shooting and like I said before... an All Star cast... Our guys are just having fun over there.

Next Game: Vs Spain...lets see what you men can do... Kobe vs. Pau. This will be an extremely good game to watch... I'll be watching a Hi-Res replay on nbcolympics.com

Keep it up men!

Jamaica's Usain Bolt (Track and Field)
China's Liu Xiang (Track and Field)

Although this has been a particularly sticky Olympic situation with the whole communist government and all, but we support a communist government everytime we buy an iPhone or a pair of cheap sunglasses. (or make a trip to Cuba)

I find this a little Disturbing, but how else did they come up with that funny logo?


An Architectural Olympic challenge? Which wins the gold?

GOLD

Quite the building... (you know how everything in this country is phallic? Well, I think in China, its opposite)

SILVER

Say hello to the Birds Nest. Another Venue for Athletic Events at the Olympics.

BRONZE

Let the Games begin!

AVP Women's Finals. Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh against Boss and Ross

I went today for the Women's finals.
Guess who won?
I'll let you figure it out.
The female pair won for the 101 straight time! Talk about a streak!!! They won the Gold medel in the 2004 Olympics and they're looking to do it again this year in Bejing!
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh are amazing!

Here are a few shots I took today.
