  • mikesorrentino, on 08/19/2008, -1/+47Since Kobe had that video jumping over a car, Michael Phelps should have a video of him swimming against a dolphin.
  • Greatn3ss, on 08/19/2008, -0/+39It is good to see this unity among the American athletes this year. Years past, it seemed as if the basketball players thought had a certain air of hubris and haughtiness about them, as if they were too good to be there (probably part of the reason for their lackluster performance previously). Seeing Bryant and James supporting other athletes, including May/Walsh, Phelps, etc. well it exudes patriotism and makes me feel better about the future of American sports in the games.

  • hmunkey, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3Why would he rape anyone? He's ***** Kobe Bryant. He could've just asked...
  • ruthgers, on 08/19/2008, -1/+4We could talk about the Chinese and their underage female gymnasts.
  • Enfenestrate, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Michael Phelps is the culmination of God's plan for the planet. All things lead up to Beijing 08. Before this no one was good enough for them to take notice, but I think they realized that he's the closest we're going to get to Jesus Christ walking amongst us, and that's why they got so excited.
  • ence117, on 08/19/2008, -7/+10"Well Kobe, I would probably try to play for a team that isn't so overrated."
  • Blurker, on 08/19/2008, -3/+6Kobe gushed.
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -5/+8Sick to death of all these USA USA posts. How about some about the fantastic Chinese team who are romping everyone, or Great Britain or Australia who have a huge amount of medals despite being small countries?
  • xeno439, on 08/20/2008, -2/+5The creators of Digg are American.
  • rheaume, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3Were out of people talking about Phelps, now were digging stories about people talking about other people talking about Phelps.
  • dieboldcracy, on 08/20/2008, -0/+2I'm talking to you talking to us talking about somebody talking about phelps
  • mcrumley, on 08/20/2008, -1/+3@imacbook: The creator of the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee) was British. The Internet is a combination of technologies developed by people in different countries.
  • shutaro, on 08/20/2008, -0/+2Al Gore created the Internet.

  • carabou, on 08/19/2008, -1/+3what? huffingtoncrap is pushing this? I have to read the story again to find the tie to some of her Bush/mCcain naughty talk.
  • akamurph, on 08/20/2008, -0/+24 weeks ago called, it wants its 'phrase of the day' back.
  • artofficial, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2He gets all his power from his i-pod.
  • akamurph, on 08/20/2008, -1/+2Because this is an English site based in America, I'm sure there are plenty of Chinese forums you can go to and talk about them, that is if their government isn't blocking them from their citizens :) Oh yeah, submit one of these 'posts' and see if it gets dugg up.
  • dieboldcracy, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1yeah, we'll celebrate our gold medals...........MONEY FIGHT!!!
  • Cowboy1015, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1They pretty much post anything.... including that lightning slow motion...
  • KyleGoetz, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1Agreed. It's the same thing that has always bugged me about the pro US tennis players. They never really seemed to get into the Davis Cup spirit (admittedly, Roddick began pushing for US men to care more about that).

    I don't understand how a pro athlete can NOT want to represent his country on the field of battle. Even if I had a hundred million dollars, I'd still want to play for my country at the Olympics or Davis Cup or whatnot. I'd consider it the height of sports honor.

    After growing up witnessing the Dream Team, it's nice to see Kobe and LeBron bringing it back.

    But seriously, screw our pro baseball players. I couldn't give two craps about that sport anymore; they're all a bunch of self-centered *****.
  • silenceissexy, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1***** YOU two of my friends died meeting Michael Phelps!
  • tomarocco, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1It's a centralized source of trivial content to feed my homoerotic fantasies involving Olympic athletes. How 'bout you, cheese06?
  • cheese06, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2Why are you on Digg?
  • inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1How about swimming through land.
  • gmalonzo, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1I say we should have all been awarded a gold medal the moment we came out of our mother's womb.
  • akamurph, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1I bet you're a democrat?
