"Beat that."

This week's Onion Sports revolves around the Olympics, predictably enough, but does so well. The Greatest-Ever Olympic Moments range from the uplifting ("1992: When his hamstring snaps halfway through the 400 meter semifinal, Derek Redmond is helped across the finish line by his father, a majestic human image which, if you don't weep every time you see it, means you're a heartless asshole who should just die right now for all you're worth") to the just plain cold ("1972: Assassinations aside, not a bad Olympics").

But somehow there manages to be new Brett Favre content, too: "This Week In Sports History: 2008: Onion Sports does an entire issue devoted to the 2008 Olympics, when all anyone actually cares about is Brett Favre." Related stories from the archives: "Brett Favre Demands Trade To 1996 Packers" and "Favre: I've Always Had A Passion For Stopping Things, Then Starting To Do Things Again."

In other news, a new 1-TB drive should hold the entire Olympics....

This whole farve thing is very interesting as seen from the midwest. DC was never so committed to the whole concept of following and loving a sports person.

it is well, different.

The best thing about tonight's Chefs win is the name of their new fullback: Mike Cox. Mind you they already have a coach named ... and I'm not making this up ... Dick Curl.

Yes, I AM ten years old. Thanks for asking.

Roni cries every time she sees the Derek Redmond clip.
