Michael Phelps? Man, can they over-hype what he has done more-yeah..he wins all the time..he drinks..rehabs..comes back..wins. Same as last Olympics..boring...and Bajezzzus ! back that camera waaaaay out..atleast he found an attractive woman to give his kid a fighting chance.
I thought all that money could have fixed those teeth..I think he swims so well because he is half shark !

Actually, I am glad to get to the track and field and watch the 100 meter dash. Amazing to see humans run so fast without being chased..and a nice break to see some fit humans instead of the Walmart 16 packers.... Usain Bolt is worth watching to me.

The Olympics are on many channels at my place so when it is commercial time-I can find another channel and watch...make sit work out fine.

Does anyone have ANY interest in Olympic basktball? I sure do not.

Winning a gold medal all by yourself is amazing, but a lot of Phelps gold medals are some what misleading, since they were won in relays, where you have to count on other teammates to help you win. Still a hell of an athlete, but tired of hearing all of the hyperbole.
