No sooner than I'd given VISA props for their celebration of Michael Phelps' 8 golds, they come out with an absolute deal-breaker...a commercial giving praise to that little faker, Kerri "I'll Never Be As Good As Mary Lou" Strug:



What a drama queen. 

VISA - you suck.   >:(

Tre, from that same Olympics (Atlanta) did you wank over Dominique Moceanu?

I thought nothing of her until she turned 18 17-1/2. 

Hard to believe that was 12 years ago.

Agreed.  I'd hit it.

Too bad she's got a kid now....

Because she'd screwed up her first vault and when she did, she was like, "Oh, I'm hurt, that's why I missed it."

The theatrics following the second vault were like a continuation bet* in poker.



















* - when a player makes a big raise prior to the flop, but then the flop misses him, he will sometimes represent strength by making a follow-up bet after the flop...at which point it's a semi-bluff
