Chinese Badminton Bad Boy, Super Dan, Sets the Ladies Swooning
Lin Dan, or Super Dan, is China's top badminton player. He's also had a few run-ins with authority figures. There was the time he tried to hit another player's coach with his racket.

Sub-Continent Rejoices: India Has Their First Gold Medalist After 80 Years of Competing
It's kind of difficult to put into words how unbelievable it is that a country of 1.1 billion people had never won an individual gold medal before.

Stu Scott: Born On The Street And Hard As Hootie
Fresh off this year's Jimmy V Classic post-event celebration in Raleigh, N.C, Stu Scott and some other famous, not-so-famous and ubiquitous "celebrities" sauntered out into the night for a karaoke croon-fest like no other.

Craig Sager Wears Matching Thongs, Has a Blond Fetish, and Loves the Lithuanian Dance Team
Without a doubt Dan Steinberg has conducted the finest interview of the 2008 Olympics. (Honest to God, I just linked the fleshbot Nebraska photos the first time. Whew, that was close.
