With the USA Olympic team rocking Beijing’s house in multiple categories, we stand united and proud during this slip-n-slide summer where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins are being replaced by talk of Michael Phelps kicking ass in the water. Good times! However, what if we had some fun with it and tallied every single Olympics contender who won a medal and categorized them by state? Who would be the winner then?
Well, guess what? We did just that.
Going head to head or state to state rather, after the numbers were added, it appears that anyone who ever made wise-cracks about New Jersey can eat their dust as Jersey took the lead. But wait….right on their tail are a bunch of Cowboy loving Texans followed by the Left Coast Lovin’ Californians.
