They played a kinda weird version of the American anthem, IMO. They kinda repeated the first bit like 3x, and then cut it short. Oh well.

I thought that was a little weird, as well. My mom didn't notice though, so I thought I was just hearing things!

At first I thought they had the wrong country's music. I'm glad Phelps (and the President) took the song being cut short in stride. Lord knows there are countries where this would become a major major issue.

Nope, I'm just bored. I do admit that I'm always glued to the TV during the whole olympics.

That relay was beyond incredible. Lezak will be on Phelps' Christmas card list forever.

If you looked close, you could see a little bit of the top-of-the-butt. Very nice. I second whoever it was calling for the return of the speedo.
That was a great relay.
