That's when I have the most energy, too(3-5 hours after eating too much.) That's why I don't really understand why baseball teams have an open buffet after the game. Seems to me it would be better to eat a lot about 3-5 hours before the game.

What's so unusual about that?

I laughed...then burped.

Replenishing the used stored muscle glycogen is best within the first 2 hours post-exercise. So I guess there is perhaps some small scientific justification for that. But I somehow doubt that's why they do that :D

I heard or read something that the USA team uses a ratio of 2.37 grams carb per gram of protein for post-ex replenishment (or 2.67, I forget ...) The most amazing thing was seeing Phelps blowing out after his 200 butterfly (was that last night?), then the team getting him back fit WITHIN ONE HOUR to run a relay - unbelievable ...

i have a question about beach volleyball, why do the women dress in these skimpy bikinis, while the men have long shorts and shirts? shouldn't the men have to wear speedos or an equivalent? i'm fine with it but I would think womens groups would complain about exploitation or something.

Jim...I thought you would suggest trenchcoats;)

Thank you!

I don't think women's sports would be very watchable if they didn't do stuff like that, and a lot of men wouldn't watch men play sports if they had close to nothing on. So, to answer your question, it's to satisfy the male viewer. Yea, women watch some of this stuff, but notice how long they do it for. They get a call...They stop watching.....They remember that they need to do an errand..They are gone....etc. etc.. Men are more apt to say leave me the f alone. I am watching this. We will do this afterwards. Here's a 50. Go buy us some pie.

i knew the answer, I was just wondering why you don't hear any complaints from women.

Not sure that is the right answer. Some wacky gay designer for a big name sports apparel company comes up with these designs and the athletes are told...would you wear this for $50K in endorsements?

And they say sure!

Spyder

yeah..but that's what many women wear to the beach and, at least in the US, that's what almost all men wear

how old is Dmitry Sautin? he's been in the olympics for what seems like 20years, and he always looks the same.

Damn frog. :mad:

Phelps daily food routine........

Lunch: 1 pound pasta, 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, energy drink (1,000 calorie)

Dinner: 1 pound pasta, 1 large pizza, energy drink (1,000 calorie)

FTFY

I wish, if I could rock that, I would be the happiest person in the world.

Now, I don't watch what I eat, which is probably why I am rocking this tire right now, but I don't eat as much as this dude, would need a shovel

their ages are about as reliable as the Dominican baseball players (except they're ages are switched the other way)!!!

Sounds like she is a race horse

That's really a mess they are relying on passports that are issued in China...to think China wouldn't falsify birthdates to compete for gold....:rolleyes:

So back to swimming....

Coach what's up with the rogue russian swimming with all his hair?

I had to laugh in the swim off they were going on and on about the beard that was finally shaved, and he's swimming next to the russian with a full head of hair...I know the other guy was little compared to the Russian, but.......

Don't know, FG.

I believe the coaches messed the girls' taper up.... or they could all be mental midgets.

A machine...an absolute machine.:eek: :tro: :tro:

Lochte took my loot!

Oh well he's a good guy. Glad he got an individual gold.

Big night for the U.S. and A. Soni had an unreal swim.

Still believe the girls are underperforming, however.

They all are suffering from that dreaded "intestinal disorder". That or they are too busy going out and getting hammered and putting the 100,000 condoms in the Olympic village to good use. Why do you think Phelps wants to cutback on his events next Olympics? It's not cause he wants less gold medals.

Sorry he took your loot....but I think he really did deserve that, he's been in the shadows of everyone else, finally it was his time to shine.

Soni's swim was fantastic.
Maybe so about the women underperforming, but I think more that it is not the favorites winning and the 2nd tier is showing up. And the 15 year old Elizabeth ???? is doing really well.


Big night tonite....
A 32 and 41 year old face off.

GO DARA, GO DARA!!!!

GO MICHAEL, GO MICHAEL!!!!

What a finish!!!

Amazing.

Holy Crap. It didn't look like he got there.

he didn't:rolleyes:

i'm at a loss for words, this guy has god on his side.

neptune at the least.

OK I am really convinced that he really is Aquaman! That was amazing!

The albatross wing-span pays off!

i did a calculation, .01 seconds equals .78 inches.

truly a fingertip win.

Cavic threw the challenge flag after the touch.

He's going to be getting some A-list poon.

I'm about tired of NBC and their Phelps is the best athlete ever in the olympics. Best swimmer, YES... best performance by an individual in the olympics... ABSOLUTELY

But... best athlete better be able to beat one of the old school guys that went pro in THREE sports (baseball, football, track), Jim Thorpe. Phelps can swim and swim only, so he's not even on my list as best athlete ever in the olympics.

Old school as in B.C.

He's got a neat little town named after him too, but athletes now a days are far superior to the ones back then, IMO.
