U.S. women rout Russia for gymnastics worlds title

[joeybee12]

TOKYO -- Just imagine if the Americans were at full strength.

Unfazed by the loss of Beijing Olympic captain Alicia Sacramone, the United States women won their third world gymnastics title Tuesday with a commanding performance that let everyone know they're the team to beat next summer in London -- regardless of who's on the roster.

The Americans scored 179.411 points, finishing a whopping four points ahead of Russia, last year's champion

1. Side note: The injured Ms. Sacramone is the reason Brady Quinn left the Donkos the other night.

Seems she's his main squeeze, and he wanted to be there for her surgery. Awwwwww. (Of course, that also placed Quinn out of range of pesky media questions about them playing Tebow over him 'n' stuff.)

2. I saw some headling about him going to his girlfriend....

Didn't know who it was, though. Maybe Brady should be more vocal about his love for Jebus...that seems to be the deciding factor in Denver these days.

3. Congratulations to them!

Seems this sport only gets press during Olympics.
