Please Allow Me To Say...

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

"The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for," [French swimmer Alain] Bernard said.
Is it undignified to laugh here? No? Then.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That was, hands-down, one of the greatest Olympic moments of all time.

And now back to your regularly-schedule baseball programming...

That was AMAZING! I thought that France just beat us out and then "1 USA" flashed across the screen - my family and I went crazy.

One of the greatest sport moments I have ever witnessed. Incredible.

And after the race:

"A fingertip did the victory," said Amaury Leveaux, one of the French swimmers. "It is nothing."

Whatever you say, mon ami.

That was awesome. Normally I'm not all about the swimming but wow! One of the best moments ever- the looks on the faces of the French team made my day.

top notch. I really didn't think USA had a chance until the very last 2 seconds. Did anyone see the replay of them taking a look at each other right before Lezak pulled forward to the wall? that's what I call true team effort.

I think Groundkeeper Willie said it best when he said "you cheese eating surrender monkeys". That was riiiidiculous, seirously. Also Michael Phelps is a goofy looking mofo.

Goofy looking, indeed. But apparently cut from marble.
