Super User Hookemdown. Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Did anybody see the 4x100 men's relay? It was the best moment in the Olympics so far in my opinion. The Frenchman's facial expressions after the race was priceless. Quote
preach4bass Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 My heart's still racing.....and I'm just kicked back in the recliner! ;D Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted August 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2008 It would have been a great race even without the trash talking. The result times where astounding. I believe the top 5 countries broke the previous record. Quote

Top Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 kind of hard to follow from Kuwait... when does it end? I am hoping to catch at least the closing ceremony in the good ole US of A.... I did watch the opening ceremony... it was definately different... AL Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 That goes into the "What were they thinking?" category. The Americans didn't need anymore incentive to win the race. The arrogance of the French just added more fuel to the fire. Falcon Quote
mattm Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 The French were heavily favored though. That moment made me proud to be an american just watching the Freaking TV. That is why the olympics are great. I love how the announcers were saying the whole way that the Americans had to be way in the lead on the final leg to win the race. Then the final leg came and we were a 1/2 body length behind on the final turn. I know nothing about swimming, but I thought it was over by the previous announcer comments. It was great to watch the American run that guy down. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Man I hate the french. After the loss, the French upgraded their security status from HIDE to RUN. The next two steps are SURRENDER and COLLABORATE Quote

Super User Micro Posted August 12, 2008 Super User Posted August 12, 2008 You know why the streets in Paris are lined with trees? So the German Army can march in the shade. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I happen to like the French - mostly. Quote
