:slappy: Serena does the "Crip Walk" after her win...(it's on Foxsports or Drudge if you want to see the article)

Personally, I could care less one way or the other, but it will certainly give those who don't like her more ammunition...

Not that I have your attention:wink: I don't understand why Merritt did not give his Olympic spot to another 400 guy because his hamstring was still pretty bad about 2 weeks ago according to the announcers and he really didn't even get up to full speed in his heat. He pulled up after running only about 100 m and you are correct that this really hurts the United States chances at the 4 x 400 relay gold.

My only guess is... it's the Olympics. It comes around once every 4 years and it is the premier event for track and field athletes. If you qualify you give it your best shot because you never know what might happen. His injury must not have been bad enough for him to at least give it a go. And honestly, it is better that he pulled up in the 400 than if he would have ran the prelim or final of the 4x400 and pulled up because it only affects him and no one else. In any case, tough break for Merritt, he was looking strong earlier in the year.

Since completing a comeback win against France in its first Olympic group-stage match, the U.S. women's team has had a relatively easy run to its upcoming semifinal match against Canada. The team hasn't allowed a single goal since that match against France, beating its three subsequent opponents by a combined score of 6-0 and creating a comfortable atmosphere that has led the team to deploy a series of pre-arranged goal celebrations that are starting to annoy opponents.

"I wouldn't like it if our team did that," New Zealand Coach Tony Readings said. "When teams concede [goals] they're disappointed and they want to get on with the game. But it's obviously something the Americans do.
"It's something I guess they work on in training. We try to work on scoring goals. We haven't got time to work on celebrations. If it makes them happy and they win games, then good for them."

Jesus... Cry much Tony?! Here's a suggestion... Try testing the Americans in women's soccer, and maybe they won't break out one of their choreographed celebrations. Oh, and quit fucking crying!

From Urban Dictionary:

1. C-walk
Not a dance move, the c-walk was originated by Crips to taunt and insult the Bloods, it was also done when they murdered a person they would c-walk ta represent there set. C-walk course short for Crip Walk. The c-walk is movement in your feet ta give people the idea that yer floating. Crips usually spell out the name of there set with there feet. DONT C-WALK UNLESS YER A CRIP ITS NOT A DANCE
"Just cause we talkin, wacha doin c-walkin, it aint just a dance its a way a livin, so if you c-walkin, u besta c-cripin, and that goes for kids to, and r&b singers, nigga quit crip walkin if you aint a gang banga"-Snoop Dogg in "The Streets" by WC

Bolt comes in next and cruuuuises to a 9.87. Walked across the last 15m.

Tyson Gay about to run his semi and try to join Gaitlin and Bailey as the 3rd American in the final.

Murray beats Federer for Gold. I'd love to see the Brits somehow overtake the Chinam....errrr Chinese in the gold medal count.

Crap, I just saw that the Chinese must have had a frickin' haul last night and are up to 29.
