Some of these jerkoffs need their ego smashed. Good for the soul.

Yep. It sounds like once he reached the peak back in '08, he basically stopped working hard and started enjoying the spotlight more. If that's the case he should've just retired, because now I get the feeling the rest of the games is going to be embarrassing for him, seeing as how he hasn't trained as hard as he used to.

I guess so. $40 million net worth is more then enough to retire.

Ironically I also found this little article about him.


While still quite young and able to continue competing, Michael Phelps has already broken 37 world swimming records. There are many who believe he hasn’t even scratched the surface of his talent and that, when finally done, he will have broken many more records, some of which currently belong to him.

I'm having the hardest time keeping up with the Olympics. I watch everyday at 7pm EST and it seems like people already know what the results are. I can understand if you're overseas but do they air earlier than 7pm? I usually never have the TV on before Primetime TV starts.

Blame the internet, my friend. You can find the results online pretty much as soon as the event is finished, but I guess NBC is trying to wait to air the more popular events during prime time to keep up the ratings.

I don't think we'll hear any more talk about the 2012 basketball team being compared to the '92 team.

Watching women's beach volleyball right now. These two girls(mitsti/kerri) have never lost a match in the Olympics yet. Amazing. That was a hell of a game with the Aussies.

That was a great match, kept tying at 18-18 and 19-19 every time and was nerve-racking to watch if you are rooting for the USA to win.

My gripe...it was 55 degrees for beach volleyball in London...they had to wear sweaters. The aussies were covered head-to-toe and still wore their bikinis on top of their compression tops, looked stupid.

London was a terrible choice as host for this reason alone.

At least our ladies wore proper bottoms. Still looking great at age 34 too.

What?
