    • adrenaline33, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5taking HGH as a kid would be counterproductive you ***** idiot

  • PrincessSalami, on 07/23/2008, -2/+6Front page news right there!

    Next we'll hear he had a mild wax build-up in his ear so he used a Q-tip© brand cotton swab.
  • paulot, on 07/23/2008, -2/+5Oh geez. Now Team USA will only win the game for the gold medal by 40 points instead of 50.
    • spiderfish, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Righhhhhht
    • stormgren, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4I dunno, we "only" got bronze last time.
    • Rulex, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4LOL, that was really funny, i heard team USA didn't do very good in the last game against Spain right? lotsa sprained ankles there i guess.

      Once you have more players that actually care for the game and not their huge egos, paychecks, and advertising contracts, you may have a chance, this sounds like the equivalent of shaq's toe nail.

      Team USA will probably get bronze again this olympic games, if they are lucky and don't sprain something that is.
  • fropuff143, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3not a big deal...
  • KaiSe7eN, on 07/23/2008, -4/+2Do we really ***** care?

  • CYR1X, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3For people who don't know, a mild ankle sprain isn't really an injury at all. I've had 2 of them myself and you can be fine later in the same day.

      you get it.

  • computerusr, on 07/23/2008, -3/+1Oh Boo Hoo. I sprain my ankle every month and I don't get a news article. Its a ***** sprained ankle. He'll be fine in 2 days.
  • PosedMagnet, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1LOL, two questions.

    1. Why the hell is there an article about a *sprain*? I could see if someone lost their leg in a knife accident, but a sprain? Common injury. I sprained my ankle 2 years ago, and trust me, it's really not a big deal. You live. Your ankle becomes better.

    2. Why the ***** does this have so many diggs? Seriously, I think half of you ***** would digg up "A-Rod GETS A PAPERCUT!!"

    WHO CARES?

  • broncfan23, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0USA will win gold unlike the previous team this team has been together for a long time and this team is loaded with the worlds best basketball talent. They won the PanAm games by an average of 32 points or so. Theyll do it in China too.
