Title: Read This: Post by: stroh on August 11, 2008, 12:29:14 PM I'm interested in your take on it.
To me, it's dripping with arrogance. Especially the last line. (LOL which I rarely get to, but this one had me. ;D ) Spitz, snubbed. (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug=afp-oly2008swimusaspitz&prov=afp&type=lgns) Title: Re: Read This: Post by: Clive on August 11, 2008, 12:48:21 PM As to the arrogance: I see your point, but did he say anything that wasn't accurate? Immodest, sure.
If I were running the network, I'd have invited him on the condition that he grow the 'stache back. If I'm gonna haul his ass halfway 'round the world and put a camera on him, he damn well better be immediately recognizable to folks.

Quote As to the arrogance: I see your point, but did he say anything that wasn't accurate? Immodest, sure. Agreed. Not at all. No question he should be boastful. He earned it, no doubt. I duuno, just seemed weird either the way it was written or the way he said it. (kept interjecting himself into the picture) Title: Re: Read This: Post by: spacey on August 11, 2008, 12:59:57 PM To be honest, I'm unaware of any champion caliber athlete who is terribly modest about his ability/achievements. I think part of what lurks in the heart of a champion is the belief that he is the best in the world at what he does.

Title: Re: Read This: Post by: Jules on August 11, 2008, 02:06:29 PM Blader it would be cool for you if she still looked the same as she did in the seventies, alas poor Farah and plastic surgery have not fared well together. [sm_devil] [sm_devil]
Title: Re: Read This: Post by: stroh on August 11, 2008, 02:17:45 PM True, but I submit even later in life, she wears gold paint better than this dude:

[sm_devil] [sm_devil] That's a lie. She hasn't changed a bit and never will.

Good to see Northern Queenslanders have finally moved into the 70's and are getting some fantastic first run tv programs. Tell me, do you guys have Beta or VHS??

Title: Re: Read This: Post by: Seamus on August 11, 2008, 02:51:51 PM Never knew that Spitz and Ricky Henderson were twins.
Huh. Whooda thunk it. Title: Re: Read This: Post by: MFAWG on August 11, 2008, 06:54:24 PM LOL, Spitz doesn't refer to himself in the third person like Ricky did.
Other than that, spot on! I recall that Spitz has been an outspoken critic of both China on religous matters and the USOC on other matters, but I can't seem to reference it right now. Possible the chickens came home to roost... |
