I wasnt looking forward to last nights dolphins/chiefs game. The Chiefs are horrible, like the Dolphins (or so I thought). They have a QB problem (like Miami did). They have a O-Line problem (like Miami did). They dont have any noticable receivers (like the Dolphins do). After watching the game, I was FINALLY looking forward to see what the Dolphins are going to look like this season. Chad Pennington looked like a QB who knew what he was doing. Ricky Williams, like he as been doing all preseason, was productive, nearing 4 yards a carry. Ted Ginn look solid, with 3 catches and a 59 yard for td. Thank God he has speed. If he didn't, he would have never scored on tha punt. The defense, looked, well, like a defense. Joey Porter, despite being injured all of training camp, had a sack and Channing Crowder, even though on his back, was still swinging and forced a fumble. The D also forced INTs. I have confidence in the D, but I am still not sure about the offense. Getting Pennington was wise, but can the WRs be trusted. The only true standout has been Ginn. I hope the WRs prove me wrong. Right now, I am happy because this type of confience was never seen last season. I know they won't make the playoffs, but after a 1-15 season, can ya blame Miami fans for being happy after last night???
Random notes:
What I learned from watching the Olympics:
I forgot how fast my Jamaican people were. I always went to Jamaica for summer when I was a teenager and every time they would race, they would always blow past me. I was never a fast runner, so I always lost. Usain Bolt showboating in the 100m final was fine by me. One thing I like about sports is the personalities. Funny dudes like Shaq. Guys who are honest like Terrell Owens. Men who dont hold back like Charles Barkley. I enjoy entertainment. I dont want athletes who are like robots. Peyton Manning was a robot until he started doing those funny commercials. I am soooooooooo happy that Jamaica was the events they won. With the crime that goes down over there (especially in Kingston), Im happy they have something to cheer about.
Michale Phelps is not human. People wanna say he is taking something. Why is it that when an athlete is dominating, he must be doping? This man swims/trains longer in a week that most people who have a full time job. He's ripped and as inpired me to find a pool to swim, because I get easily bored working out at the gym. I hope he wins more medals in the next Olympics.
Team USA FINALLY shuts up the doubters and wins the gold medal in Men's Basketball. That gold medal game was too close. I did expect a beatdown like the previous meeting, but Spain would not go away. USAs D wasnt good, especially in the paint. Thank God for Kobe. He played great D and took over in the 4th qtr. D-Wade was Lebron were the 2 best players for team USA. I cant wait to see Wade with Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion.
There were so many hotties. Where do I begin? Lolo Jones, Alicia Sacramone, the entire brazilian vollyball team (indoor and beach), etc.

Nice blog you got here. Can't wait to see it expand. Personally though I think the Olympic committee chief was right when he called out Bolt for the extended self glorification. But I guess you can argue that he's young and not "polished" yet so in that case its understandable. He still could've been a little bit more humbled yet still excited like Shelly Ann Taylor when she won the 100m. But I'm done whining now.
