Nice article on the site by Cyd regarding Hubris Pie eating Americans. Although many countries use professional players in their team sports, I miss the days when it was amateurs playing hockey, basketball, etc.

When a team wins every game by a large margin, it takes the fun out, even for Americans. ( the only exception is the Yankees in baseball because I like to see them win <grin>) To boot the last few dream teams do not have the class/appeal of the original team with Michael, Magic, etc.. does anyone really think as good a player that Iverson, Carmelo, etc are that anyone sees them in a positive light?

Same thing with Michael Phelps.. now the dude is a failure if he doesnt win 7 golds?? comon.. everything is all skewed.. let the guy win one then talk about 8 Golds.

On a side note.. damn hes got a kick ass bod
