The Eagles offense took a huge blow when coach Andy Reid revealed that wide receiver Kevin Curtis suffered a sports hernia injury in last Thursday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
Jamaica’s Usain Bolt becomes the first runner since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win both the 100 and 200m races in the
same Olympics. He also becomes the first runner ever to eclipse both world records in the same games. He broke Michael Johnson’s record of 19.32 by running 19.30. There was no slowing up this time as Bolt ran hard to the finish and set the record. After he won the 100m he caught mad wreck from media pundits for coasting the last 20 meters in gold medal winning celebration.
The US team enters the quarterfinals with a unblemished record of 5-0. Dwyane Wade leads the team in scoring with just over 16 in 18 minutes. I had a real fake heated conversation last night with a writer who feels this team–evolution wise–is better than the original Dream Team of 1992. I’m still shocked. It’s difficult discussing eras, but I really don’t think this team collectively has the cojones to beat that once in a lifetime dream. How is this even a question? I don’t personally think this team is better than the 1996 collective.
