TULSA - Football or fĂștbol?
Usain Bolt -- the world's fastest man -- has options awaiting him as the London Games head into their stretch run.
Bolt says he may want to play soccer for Manchester United. Not exactly the sport most Americans were hoping the long-legged Jamaican would find himself playing.
That would be the one with the touchdowns.
And you know Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is seeing dollar signs. Plus, Bob Hayes did pretty well for himself in Dallas.
No no to water polo
I have decided water polo is just not fun.
Treading water, getting punched in the face, a good chance of losing your speedo. No thanks. (As if I would ever wear a speedo.)
Women's hoops
While all the fuss surrounding the Team USA Men's Basketball Team, has anybody noticed the USA Women have not lost a game in 20 years? Thirty-nine straight wins heading into this years semifinals.
And how about Tulsa Shock center Liz Cambage's dunk last week. Let us hope she brings some of that Kangaroo jumping ability back to Tulsa.
Red, white and blue for gold
Is this a first? USA vs USA for the gold medal? That's what is happening in women's beach volleyball.
At least it will be another win for the home team, which has found itself trailing China in the medal race. As of Wednesday, there were 102 gold medals left to hand out.
I expect a close race to the end between the two countries, with the Americans favorites to bring in a slew of track and field competitions.
