2 down. 6 to go

Phelps' weakest event was the 4x100 freestyle which the Americans were supposed to finish 2nd behind the French. What a fucking race that was at the end. Lezak swims his best 100 ever by running down that cocky French fuck to steal away the Gold. Phelps now has a clear path to the 8 golds. Every event from this point forward, he and his team are favored in.

The Olympics just got interesting.

The words "Olympics" and "interesting" in the same sentence? Are you high?

You have a swimming take? Are you serious?

Who cares if it's never been done before? It's swimming. I love going to the ocean and swimming around in the water as much as the next guy but like heck if I'm going to watch competitive swimming. I didn't know people actually watched that crap.

The ending of that race last night was probably second time ever that I've watched a Summer Olympic event and actual stood up from the couch and cheered as I watched it. Lezak making the comeback was pretty cool considering the French were favored and were talking smack. The look on their faces afterwards was priceless...that look of "did that really just happened?"

If you were wondering, the other time I cheered openly while watching a Summer Olympic event was watching Michael Johnson run during the '96 Games in Atlanta.

I watched Mark Spitz win 7 golds in '72, and it will be pretty fucking cool if Phelps can get 8.

Jon probably thinks Phelps got steroids from Tony LaRussa or something...

I hope Phelps writes a check to Lesak for 1/8th of that million dollar speedo bonus he'll get if he gets all 8 Golds.

The Twinkies weren't laughing yesterday when Tony Pena Jr. won the game in the 12th, nearly decapitating the pitcher.

Yeah, I watched that too.

I didn't see Spitz get it done live, being only two years and living in Great Yarmouth, England where electricity had just been invented and all, however, you my friend are right on.

That was an amazing accomplishment and what Phelps might do would me as such.

For those of you brain addled one's that don't think competitive anything is worth watching, then shut the fuck up. You try it bitches. I love beating the "frogs" err frenchies in anything. Please go there and then you will know why. w.

Someone's not that happy.

HONG KONG (AFP) - US swim legend Mark Spitz won't be on hand in Beijing if Michael Phelps breaks his record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics -- because, he says, no one bothered to invite him.

Spitz said the International Olympic Committee, a US television network or FINA -- the international body that governs world swimming -- should have brought him to the Games this year, with Phelps making a go at his record.

"I never got invited. You don't go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am," Spitz told AFP in Hong Kong.

"I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost -- it is."

Spitz became one of the most famous athletes in the world at the 1972 Munich Olympics, winning seven gold medals -- with seven world records -- in what many consider to be one of the greatest achievements in all of sport.

Phelps is aiming to better that mark in Beijing, hoping to bring home eight golds. And Spitz, now 58 and grey and without his trademark moustache, cannot understand why he wasn't asked along to see the show.

"They voted me one of the top five Olympians in all time. Some of them are dead. But they invited the other ones to go to the Olympics, but not me," he said. "Yes, I am a bit upset about it."

Now a stockbroker and motivational speaker, Spitz also thinks he could have won eight golds himself in Munich if only he had had the chance.

"I won seven events. If they had the 50m freestyle back then, which they do now, I probably would have won that too," he said.

Spitz, whose brief stint in show business in the 1970s never quite matched his success in the pool, said he attended the Athens Olympics four years ago -- when Phelps also tried to break the record.

"They did not once put my face on television," he recalled. "But as soon as the swimming was over, and Michael Phelps didn't break my record, every time I went to beach volley, they put my face on the volleyballs."

Spitz said it would have been a great idea if he could be the one presenting the gold medals to Phelps, who has for years been candid about his ambition to eclipse the mark of seven golds.

And Spitz thinks Phelps will succeed -- for one very good reason.

"He's almost identical to me. He's a world-record holder in all these events, so he is dominating the events just like I did," Spitz said. "He reminds me of myself."

Seems like a fantastic motivational speaker.

"You have 2 ways to handle a bad situation. You can either sit around and whine about it like a little baby or you can quit being a bitch, get off your ass and do something about it. I choose to whine and complain and you should too."

If the bitch wanted to remind us what a badass he was, and he wanted to go to the Olypics so badly...

Bitch should have jumped in the Pacific and swam there.

Guess he just wasn't motivated.

Although he's right about likely winning the 50 free if the event was held in his day, his "what about me" whining is typical. Half the reason he wasn't a success out of the pool was due to his personality.

RumpleForeskin · Post by **RumpleForeskin** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 3:33 pm

US officials probably should have invited him, but he could have gone if he wanted. He's a bitch.

As for Phelps, well that guy is an animal. He isn't really humble about how great he is, but at least he's honest. Dude was bent about breaking the world record in the 200m fly but not doing it in the time he was shooting for. Rediculous.
