gold medal

Beer drinkers are Texas Proud today! It turns out - the Lone Star State had very strong showing at the Great American Beer Fest this past weekend in Denver, Colorado.

Not only did Shaun get redemption for his disappointment in Sochi, but he also received Team USA's 100th Winter Games Gold Medal.

I guess it was just a matter of time. It's bad enough that the athletes participating in the Olympic Badminton event were cheating, but now there are athletes who actually cheat in other ways! Nadzeya Ostapchuk, of Belarus, a shot putter, is now the first athlete to be stripped of a medal at the London Olympics after her gold was withdrawn today for doping.

When I read this, I couldn't believe it, U.S. Olympians get taxed on their medals. They also are taxed heavily at 35%, on their cash prize from winning a medal.

What a night to remember at the 2012 London Olympics yesterday. History was made and U.S.A. is on a definite roll. Michael Phelps takes home his 19th Olympic medal last night, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time!

The last time I checked the Olympic medal totals - U.S.A. had 19, tied with China. Way to go U.S.A. Since the 2012 London Olympics are here, Big D and Bubba posed the question this morning, "what would you or your spouse win gold in?" We thought it would fun to see what your answers would be.
