All-around gymnastics champion Nastia Liukin and swimmer Natalie Coughlin, who won six medals in Beijing, tied in voting for sportswoman of the year.

Erin Popovich was selected paralympian of the year and the U.S. men’s volleyball team, which won a gold medal in the aftermath of the attack and killing of coach Hugh McCutcheon’s father-in-law, was team of the year.

He’s got to upgrade his bonging technique.

There is no way he’d get a gold medal doing it the way he was doing it. It looked like he was sucking on a lemon.

My brother would have gotten the gold medal!

It’s either a fake pic, or the Olympics are fixed. No way a pot smoker could win 8 gold medals.

“U.S. Olympic Committee’s sportsman of the year on Thursday.”

Will he be presented with a gold plated bong?

Or maybe pot smoking isn’t as bad as people would lead you to believe....

Or any number of things really that don’t demean his accomplishment.
