Unfriendly Frenchies eat their words!

Hey, I won't pretend to know what Michael Phelps was thinking when he decided to show the entire world his butt crack while cheering for his team. I'll just assume he was swept up in the almost palpable excitement that filled the stadium as his team-mate barely reached past his French rival in the last stretch of the 400X100 relay. Gosh, even I (and I'm no sports fan or avid patriot) felt a touch of patriotism as the U.S swimmer powered passed the pompous Frenchman who over-confidently claimed that his team would "smash" the Americans during this event. It was undoubtedly moving.

Even if you're not a sports' fan, follow the link below and/or find the video titled "U.S men win 4X100 free relay." I tried to embed the video into the blog but NBC is serious about those ridiculous copy right laws. (Just kidding. I'll work on an easier way to watch the videos from here.)
