Just be quiet. Making us look bad.

Jesus Christ, why doesn't Universal just go to a split screen full time?

Sage Canaday what a joke.

A move is about to happen-let's go to commercial

Ritz is back baby

Watch that pseudo American Meb win again. No wonder why he can't get a real shoe contract.

WTF is the split screen when you need it !!!!

Meb and Ritz at front side by side. GO USA!

Chants of USA USA has gotta give you that jolt of energy...crazy women's finish...

So if Desi has just as good a chance as the other 8 in the pack, she has an 11% chance to win the race. Do we really dare to think she's gonna defeat all 8 Kenyans & Ethiopians??

Mile 20: 5:38 1:50:58 Linden starts to push again

I'm a little skeptical of this, but media room has women running 5:52 for the 21st mile -- slowest of the race.

Ritz is toying with these chumps!

No one's getting dropped. This could turn out to be the most crowded finish ever.
