I'll keep this one short and sweet. Ladies and Gentlemen, a man who needs no introduction, the greatest human swimmer this planet has ever seen, Mr. Michael Phelps.
I saw it. You saw it. The entire world saw Phelps catapult himself into Olympic history by winning 8 gold medals in one Olympic outing - more than any other athlete in history.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER ATHLETE IN HISTORY.
It was an amazing moment. I was filled with an enormous amount of pride to see all unfold live before my eyes. Michael Phelps is officially the most famous athlete in the world. I honestly don't have anything else to say about the matter. I mean, seriously...WOW.

MVP of the Week - Brett Motherf*ckin' Favre
I previously had strayed away as I felt this Brett Favre story was being overdone. But today I decided, Brett is a goddamn legend. He is possibly the greatest QB to ever play the game and I will report on him until I am blue in the face if I feel like it. And frankly, this week (like many, MANY other weeks in his career), Brett has earned the honor of MVP of the week. Let me shed a little light on new reasons why Brett is the unparalleled king of the pigskin.
Not only is Brett a 3 time AP MVP, the wearer of a Super Bowl ring, and holder of countless NFL records, but he maintains the one characteristic most important to me in players that I love. Simply put, the man loves the game. And that warms my heart and makes me want to flip off the Packers office management and their fans.
How many people do you know that would be offered 20 MILLION DOLLARS to sit their ass at home and would turn it down, for the love of the game? If someone out there wants to give me 5 bucks, I promise not to leave the couch. But not Brett. He is the embodiment of the game.
And now that it's looking unlikely that Brett will be returning to the Pack (good riddance to them!), you can bet your bottom dollar that the Ladies of LLR will be rocking that #4 Favre jersey, no matter what color it is. Cuz it doesn't matter where the stadium is, you are always in Brett's house.

MVP of the week - Girl Power!
So I'm sure most of you saw the WNBA mini-brawl that went down between the Detroit Shock and the Los Angeles Sparks earlier this week. As much as I wish it hadn't happened (doesn't send a very good message to the kids, after all), everyone loves a good girl fight, and I'm no different. The only good thing that came out of the fight and the subsequent suspensions was this week's MVP.
The Detroit Shock was left short handed after the suspensions were handed down by the WNBA. Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman signed a 7-day contract with the league, and she played 9 minutes of a game against the Houston Comets on Thursday night. Nancy Lieberman is widely known as the greatest women's basketball player ever...and she's 50 years old. FIVE-ZERO!! Think about a 50 year-old woman that you know. Now imagine her holding her own for 9 minutes in a professional basketball game with women half her age. I LOVE IT!!
I know a lot of people don't take the WNBA seriously. I happen to love women's basketball, and most of all, what the WNBA stands for. I'm so glad the league has continued to thrive these last 12 years. I think its awesome that girls with game have professionals to look up to. It is my honor to bestow LLR's MVP of the week award to Nancy Lieberman. Yo, Nancy - I got next!

MVP of the Week
Are baseball posts from Stars going to be mildly prejudicial? Yes, yes they are. As a hardcore Mets fan who makes no apologies for it, my boys are going to get special treatment. Feel free to flame me for it in the comments if you don't like it. I will ignore you over there, too.
But my clear and blatant bias aside, I would like to present the Ladies' Locker Room Inaugural MVP of the week to the King of New York... David Wright!
Not only is David damn fine (even in bobblehead form) and a giving humanitarian, but he is one of the fastest rising stars playing the game today. And Mets fan or not, there is virtually no denying the Mets are the hottest team in baseball racking up 10 in the Win column in a row. The team closest to that streak is 4 and that is embarrassingly not even close. The 10th straight win ties the boys from NY (the good ones) with the Twins for longest winning streak of the '08 season.
And that big win came on the heels of a big hit from the man from VA himself, David Wright. Top of the 9th, there was one last chance for the Mets to recover not one but two lost leads against Cincinnati. And that chance came in the form of Wright who smashed a 2-run homer to lead the Mets into the tie for first place, coming back from a 7 and a half game deficit a little over a month ago.
So today, David, hats off to you... your trophy* is in the mail!
