Michael Phelps - Eight Gold Medals

[Artisan Fan]

Tremendous performance. Jason Leezak was also incredible.

I think before these games, lezak should have signed a contract to take a cut of all future phelps earnings.

No lezak, no 8 straight gold.

Spectacular races. We were standing during the relay. And Lezak is a stud.

It really is, but there's no empirical evidence that indicates it helps athletic performance.

Well that's done. Now back to the Olympics.

Yeah, I often find this sort of attitude in people who don't like to acknowledge the greatness of others, because to do so would make them feel worse about themselves.

I think he's cheating 'cause he's clearly half-piscine.

Think about it - they haven't shown his father once in the coverage. His mother could have had an affair with a bluefin and produced this freak of nature.

Where's the proof?

They did show his father (unless I misunderstood who was on my TV) and he didn't look much like Michael to my eyes.

Maybe his mother stepped out with Aquaman.

Phelps is just unreal. No doubt about it. And so is Bolt. Goddamnit, how do regular humans compete against these guys? They should both retire now and let other people have a chance at glory.

No, I'm just commenting that the guy and additionally almost all of the women competing, have faces that reek of chemistry sets.
