USA Regains Respectability in International Competitions 

A typical day in the life of the newest World's Strongest Man winner includes squatting several beautiful women simultaneously.


America is back, baby! After the US Men's Basketball team placed third in the FIBA World Championship, the US Women's basketball team also failed to win gold, and Team USA got their butts whooped in the Ryder Cup, I truly wondered when again the United States of America would win an international athletic competition possessing some sort of respectability.

Well...that day is today! Firefighter Phil Pfister, from Charleston, West Virginia took home the title in this years World's Strongest Man competition. The 6-6, 325 pound American "beat 25 athletes from around the world in events such as bus pulls, car pushes, tire turns and stone lifts."

When it comes to international athletic events...I am again proud to be an American.

World's Strongest Man Comps are great to watch. I think this is the first time an American has won in awhile. Go red white and blue!

My patriotism has thus been restored...

We salute you Phil Pfister, and your unworldly chick squatting ability...
