OK,

Judges call is totally contentious. MadMax had the glass off the table before his allowed turn.

In the old book that is like touching the tail on the dirt in the freestyle. DQ'd dude.

Very very close Biffy, next year you gonna be toast for sure.

It took us Kiwis and Aussies thirty years to get the Americas Cup and you aint ever going to get that back again dudes. Same will happen with the famous elevator trophy.

Yea Max but thats OK for him. He was suffering severely from the heat in Tucson man. Give him a break, poor skinny little bugger hardly throws a shadow if he stands sideways to the sun mate. He needed to cool down as well as partake of a refreshment.

Tell you what that was no walk in the park for youse yanks. Thats was closer than close boys. We have them on the ropes and next year its a thrashinjg coming up.

Those neckless kegs have had their fun, now comes the whuppin.

Sorry to break the Giant Style here, but that looked like a bunch RC Sailboaters sippin wine after a gruelling regatta in 8 knot winds. Get some Giant Wisconsinites on team USA and the race will be over before the count gets to 3.

Dang, now I'm thirsty.

Im a little disapointed in Biffs performance... he can drink muuuuuch faster than that.... what was goin on there...

Next Year Kiwi, I have my seat reserved. We'll increase that margin of victory! We seemed to be slippin on the weight requirements for TEAM USA this year... Damn good job they did though!
