Braylon Edwards vs. Michael Phelps: Who ya got?

Braylon Edwards is a fantastic wide receiver. A master gambler, he probably is not.

Before the Olympics, as Braylon and Phelps were hanging out somewhere talking about all things Michigan (take that, Miami of Ohio!), they struck up a bet. Braylon wagered that he'd score twice as many touchdowns as Michael Phelps would win gold medals (gracias, FanHouse).

Phelps, as you may have heard, won eight.

The foot injury wasn’t a complete loss. Edwards used the time on his couch to catch up with swimmer Michael Phelps’ chase for history at the Olympics.

Edwards and Phelps have University of Michigan ties and struck up a friendship. Edwards bragged before Beijing that he would more than double Phelps’ gold-medal total with touchdown catches. After Phelps’ record eight golds, Edwards needs to set another franchise record.

I don't know exactly what's on the line, but I hope Braylon's getting odds. He's going to have to be injury-free and dominant to win this one.

Myself, I don't bet against Michael Phelps. That would feel like betting against America.

You?

Cuban pops ref...

This Cuban loser got pissed at the ref in the semifinals of Olympic taekwondo and showed how he felt.

The incident involving 31-year-old Cuban fighter Angel Valodia Matos occurred following his loss in a 176-pound semifinal to Cha Dongmin of South Korea.

The referee, identified on the match report as Klay Thomas of Switzerland, declared the South Korean the winner after Matos did not come out to fight after a 60-second injury timeout. There is a 60-second limit on injury time.

Thomas signaled Cha as the winner. Then came the kick from Matos, Olympic champion in 2000. In addition to seeking a lifetime ban of the fighter from Cuba, the Seoul-based World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) said it may press legal charges.

Ummmm FAST

What else do i have to say.................

I did the math and thats like a 3.8 40 yd dash, at 6'5 220. If he can catch better than Q, id sign him up yesterday

LZR Racer Swimsuit Kicks Ass

Speedo's new LZR Racer swimsuit is helping swimmers easily set world records. The suit is $500 and only lasts for 10 uses - expensive.

44 of the 48 world records were set this year before the olympics were set by suit wearers. I think the numbers speak for themselves.
