Michael Phelps

I know this is a Cardinal blog and he's not a Card, but if you guys haven't seen this guy swim yet, you should. 

Rumor has it he's pretty good in the water...

Star-divide

I will be able to tell my grandkids one day that I saw Michael Phelps swim.  The guy is the best I've ever seen.

 

I'll also be able to say I saw China's "16" year-old gymnists.  What a crock of you know what.

Being a former swimmer myself...

I swell with pride at Phelps’ accomplishments. The man is an absolute joke, his talent far surpasses anyone’s imagination. A lot of people truly don’t understand how hard swimmers really work. I swam competitively from age 6 to 18, and from middle school through high school, I was practicing 8-9 times, spending 17 hours in the water and 3 hours in the weight room WEEKLY. Phelps I’m sure practices more than that, at a far higher intensity, for longer, against tougher teammates. NBC has been covering him nonstop, for a good reason. Nobody else in the USA has stepped up near to his level of domination. Hopefully he will put out a bigger demand for this sport… maybe we’ll get big meets televised?

The greatest athlete of all time, without a doubt.

Phelps

I am drafting him # 1 in my Fantasy League, he’s got to be good for something.
