Ahh everyone talks a little trash every now and then. In fact even I was talking trash the other day with the trash men when they came to empty my dumpster.

The French swimming team said the same thing to Michael Phelps and the 4x100 freestyle and if you are even half paying attention, know how that turned out.

Trash talk can be a great motivator for your competitor.

Wow, she still couldn't admit that the Russian woman was better than her. She said it was just "experience".

[SUP-Ronin]

That Russian looks pretty fit. Not surprised if she smoked us.

That's why I rooted for the Russian and glad that she won.

No, this was not anti-American on my part, this was anti-big mouth trash talker on my part.

That American should take lessons in sportsmanship.
