GO USA

As a child growing up I remember my parents watching the Olympics. I was always a winter guy, but this year I gotta tell you, there are some amazing things going on over in Beijing.

From the unbelievable opening ceremonies until last nights 4X100meter relay, its been a joy to watch. Did you know that Jason Lezak is 32 years old? His determination and stamina is what turned a bronze medal into a gold and  shut the Frenchies up.  He swam a 46.06 leg, the fastest in history and he started the leg behind the Frenchies. The US Team shattered the old World Record of 3:12:23 by almost 4 seconds at 3:08:24. I don’t think I could walk/run the length of the 50 meter pool 8 times in under double that time.

And how bout the basketball team. Who expected such a blowout? And our players professionalism is so great to see. I would of enjoyed seeing Katie Hoff win the 400 meter free style. She missed the gold by only7/100’s of a second. Thats like two blinks of your eyelid.

Needless to say I’m into this years Summer Games and the USA Teams. I’ve moved my POW flag off center and placed ny American Flag front and center.

GO USA

See you next time on the corner
