I don't want to be the spelling police, but this is for the people who might be looking for more information on the coach making the comments:

I think a new rule should be adopted to the "spelling police" - it should only be made a big deal if we're talking about actual English - in fact, I think you should be "sacked" for going "spelling police" on a name that comes from Romania
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.

No kidding, just delivering some steller Phil Pills to the poor Swiss
Methinks they're getting the wrath of the Americans, considering how they were humiliated on Saturday

Regarding the 4X100 relay, lots more went down with that race, than just the world record in the relay:
Phelps swam the lead-off leg for the Americans. He swam 47.51. The world record, going into the race: 47.50, by France's Alain Bernard, lining up Sunday to swim the French anchor leg in the relay.
Phelps and the Americans swam Sunday in Lane 4, the French in 5, the Australians in 3.
To Phelps' left, in Lane 3, Eamon Sullivan of Australia pulled lead-off duty as well. He touched ahead of Phelps, in 47.24 -- a world record in the 100m (lead-off legs are eligible for national and world records).
Phelps' mark is now the American record. His prior personal best had been 47.92, at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.
The fastest Olympic lead-off split before Sunday: South Africa's Roland Schoeman, with a 48.17 in 2004.
If swimming translates into numbers, it also is about so much more.

Great read, and still gets me going. I was yelling at the TV last night, and thought Lampley was gonna lose it on the air. He's used to golf broadcasts and boxing.
Simply an awesome race, and one that will be hard to top. But it sucked me into watching the olympics for the next 2 weeks. What will I miss if I don't? Shawn Johnson's next performance is sure to be memorable, and the "Redeem Team" will be making mincemeat of the competition, after the world questioned the US basketball teams honor after the last olympics.

Ignore the other jokers; I appreciate the spelling correction. Thanks!
Also, it is very difficult for announcers to make badminton sound exciting, even at the Olympic level...

I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

I beleive that Marta is the head coach and Bella now runs USA Gymnastics. If Lyukin's score was 9.975 then Shawns should have definately been higher. Bella was astonished that two judges gave it an 8.8, called them outright cheaters.
Bela knows what he's doing. Calling the judges out now will put them on notice for more fair scoring when it matters.
The judges weren't smart enough to wait until the finals to start screwing. My guess and hope is that we'll see more balanced scoring when it really matters - thanks in large part to Bela's rave.
Fixed the spelling!

I think that was Danny Hicks on the call...and I love his comment afterwards, "Who's talkin' now???"
I would have loved to hear his golf broadcast partner Johnny Miller talkin' trash against the French afterwards...

One really cool thing if you have DirecTV HD is if you are on any of the Olympic coverage stations (excluding NBC itself), you can press the red button on your remote and it will display a menu with all of the scheduled events (including those on NBC). Pretty neat feature.
