The more the merrier. Not that that's ever stopped the internetz.

As an American, I've always been embarrassed by the "USA! USA! USA!" chant at sporting events, but seeing it break out at the Phillies game minutes after the news started to leak was awesome. ESPN showed fans getting the news on their smart phones and players being confused about the sudden display of patriotism.

Just a little tip. Try not to miss singing/playing of "God Bless America" before tomorrow's Flyers game.

Now more than ever, I wish Chicago was still in the playoffs.

Surreal moment at baseball game in Philly tonight as word breaks about Bin Laden's death. Mets hitter looks completely baffled at one point.

To this day, the USA national anthem at the NHL All-Star game in Chicago in 1991 is one of the greatest ever . . . . . just ahead of the first Gulf War I believe.

So I wonder how the body is revealed...supposedly a single shot to the head.

George W. and Obama spraypainting "USA" on the corpse on the White House lawn?

Wow. CNN reporting the helicopter that flew them in, broke down and the seals had to destroy it before they left. Plus i'm assuming they had to carry Bin Laden's body with them.
