So my buddy Mel Stewart sent me an email tonight -- he said that Jason Lezak retired. Jason Lezak. Jason Lezak? Mel's email: "Lezak anchored the 4x100 relay in Beijing …" OHHHHH. Jason Lezak. The name might only sound vaguely familiar, but the race … unforgettable. It remains one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, one of the most amazing things any one of us has ever seen. You didn't have to be a swim fan. You didn't have to know anything about swimming. You didn't even have to be a sports fan. This was Beijing, when Michael Phelps was trying for eight gold medals, Lezak was indeed anchoring his 4x100 relay.
