And another to Michael Phelps

yet another world record.. :applaud:

Man, these new swimming suits are causing world records to crumble.

Can you believe the US 4x100 relay broke the record during a preliminary heat? That almost never happens. And then they broke it again in the finals. :metaldevil:

One more thing. Boo to NBC for tape delaying "live" events on the west coast.

This is not an awards ceremony. They wouldn't dare do the same thing for NFL or NBA games.

you gotta laugh...
