"In u face!!"

[Malcontent]

No wonder they supply the teams with 110k rubbers! Blart!

gayest moment in Olympic history

[Inkana7]

If you play non-coed sports, it pretty much automatically makes you at least a little gay. Im cool with a little manlove after a good play or victory.

[KipCorrington25]

That makes the 90's look straight.

and WHAM

[Dutch]

Simply the best...ever! Way cool!

[SBboundBroncos]

im sitting here looking at that pick and idk why but im expecting it to move and then see them kissing

that is so damn gay

[Dagmar]

not really, but a great achievement.

[theAPAOps5]

What do you mean not really. He is by far the best athlete ever in the Olympics. Don't be jealous.

[Sassy]

Nice...when you put "spoiler" in the thread...when everyone know's he's going for #8 ... ya think that ruins it?

[Dagmar]

Argh.

[spdirty]

that was pretty damn cool

[Broncobiv]

Nice...when you put "spoiler" in the thread...when everyone know's he's going for #8 ... ya think that ruins it?
Agreed. Lame. :thumbsdow

Could have gone either way, Sas. Last night was 1/100th of a second. Just didn't want to give it up in the title for those who wanted to see it for themselves. Made that mistake a couple of years ago when Nicky Hayden won the Moto GP world championship ('06). I posted the win before the folks on the West Coast got to see the race and got called out hard for it, and in retrospect rightly so. Just try not to do that any more. If I got the Broncos two hours before Colorado and posted the score before you got to see the game, would you be pleased?

No.

That's what I'm saying...it did spoil it...because when I read it I knew he won.

[Dutch]

If Phelps had lost by 1/100th last night I would have posted Exactly the same thing as a title. Wasn't home last night, or I would have. You had the option of opening it. PERIOD. Did you read my explanation? I don't give it up anymore without just say Subject=Spoiler. Up to you to open it.

[Sassy]

No. You don't get it SPOILER tells me he won without looking at the title...yes, it can go either way...but it tells me that he won.

[Dutch]

No. You don't get it SPOILER tells me he won without looking at the title...yes, it can go either way...but it tells me that he won.

projecting your own thinking on me...seriously, I would have posted exactly the same thing in the title if he had lost.

[LonghornBronco]

I would think the opposite spoiler tells me he lost.... Spoiled his run...

[LonghornBronco]

Either way a tremendous achievement on par with Lance Armstrongs titles.

[Northman]

Does it really matter if he spoiled anything? Jesus, you guys will ****ing whine about anything.

[watermock]

The bigger threat was a day ago, the only threat tonite was a foul.

[LonghornBronco]

This is so much more impressive than Spitze (sp) accomplishment because the races are so much more compressed on a time scale.

[Los Broncos]

He is aqua man.

[Dutch]

Mark basically said the same thing in the interview with Costas and Phelps last night. Very gracious talking about not only the rise in other countries competitiveness, + the short time table, but also the unbelievable pressure and time required by the media. My earliest memories of the Olympics were of Mark in '72. Became an Olympics fan for life. What Phelps has done is amazing. It doesn't matter what country he is from, it is just amazing. Aquaman! Greatest Olympian EVER.

[Kaylore]

Amazing. And he's not done. He'll be back in '12 to pad his totals. This was history though. We may need to wait another 30 years before we see someone try and break this one again.

[Broncobiv]

Does the "(M)" in the title mean "merged"?

[LonghornBronco]

Yea, it looks that way...

[Blueflame]

Does the "(M)" in the title mean "merged"?

Yes.... it indicates that one or more threads dealing with the same topic have been combined.

[scorpio]

ummm, you merged his Phelps record thread with the (literally) gay olympic thread?!? Because your sister complained?

Is there anything you people won't cry about?

[Jens1893]

What do you mean not really. He is by far the best athlete ever in the Olympics. Don't be jealous.

The most successful ... swimmers have an advantage over the rest because they can compete in a whole lot more races.

[Jens1893]

Either way a tremendous achievement on par with Lance Armstrongs titles.

I wouldn´t belitte Phelps´ achievement by comparing it to the achievements of a cheater.

Omg Spoiler. Alert Teh Press
