Post by: Eiksirf on August 13, 2008, 09:35:26 AM
There\'s a kid from Baltimore who made it to the Olympics. Heard of him?
How\'s he doing? 4 for 4 so far?
I\'m waiting to see if we replace Baltimore\'s undieing love of Cal Ripken with this kid.
Probably not, tho, because swimming is ghey and baseball is America!

i missed every race..and ill probably miss the rest. every time i go to watch the olympics it\'s either volleyball or boxing
this dude represents america, ripken represents the oriels (i\'ve never been able to spell that damn word)..i doubt hell ever get replaced by the city. only other person i could think of is ray lewis, but since he killed someone *allegedly*, he wont replace him either. Is there any other athlete you guys love?

I went to a bar with some friends last night, and this girl was telling me "Michael Phelps is a GOD from the neck down... " but I guess she had some criticisms about his ears or something. That was funny.
You know what\'s more gay than swimming? Synchronized diving. Very gay. Just my opinion. :)

I\'m new here and not a sports fan, but a few guys on the old Orioles World Series team got a big ovation when they appeared before a recent O\'s game. I forget their names, but that championship team was from 25 years ago.
We don\'t have a lot of athletes to choose from. I\'m not really familiar at all with the Ravens unfortunately.

Michael Phelps seems like a douchebag in some of the interviews i\'ve seen.
Also, Canada is tottally sucking cock these games. Total of 0 medals so far, fuckin Mongolia is beating us in medals...
Obviously winter olympics is where Canada would excel but still...kind of a downer so far.

Got to agree. Every single time I see them interview Phelps my skin crawls.

Just a few nights ago we were watching and someone interviewed him and my wife leans over to me and asks "is he always that big of a jerk?"

You\'re obviously a homosexual in love with him.
Title: Phelps
Post by: Luke on August 15, 2008, 12:17:28 PM
Obviously.
I guess maybe I\'m just expecting him to be a jerk... Therefore convincing myself he is. It just seemed in the couple interviews I saw he didn\'t even look at the person talking to him. He kept taking drinks of water before he answered a question, and then his answers had absolutely nothing to do with the question asked (what else is new with athletes though huh?). Then when the interviewer told him thanks for the time, he would just say "yeah" and walk away.

I have better taste than that. His face is too goofy.
After half the races he has another one in a limited amount of time. He still has to cool down and everything else. Being tired and short on time probably doesn\'t help the interview.

Post by: Joker on August 15, 2008, 01:54:35 PM
The thing I saw of him was at a press confrence where he had just broken the record for most golds by an athlete and saying
"The greatest olympian of all time, yeah that sounds pretty coo, I like the sound of itl."
Or something along those lines but I remember him refering to himself and saying greatest olympian of all time. I kinda tuned out after that but he seems like he is buying into his own press hype.

And you wouldn\'t? He set out to break the records, and did it, if someone were to call me the greatest olympian ever I\'d think that was pretty cool too.

No I wouldn\'t. He is a swimmer, he is doing the only sport where has 8 chances to win a gold. Other athletes don\'t have that oppurtunity but that doesn\'t make them a lesser caliber athlete than Phelps.
Also I forget his name but I would say that black athlete from the USA who went and won numerous golds in track at the germany olympics during WW2 is the greatest olympian. He doesn\'t have as many medals as phelps, but going to nazi germany and winning while Hitler is there in the stadium is one hell of a accomplishment.
Title: Phelps
Post by: videoholic on August 17, 2008, 10:47:22 AM
actually track athletes could do the same. The accomplishment comes from being able to beat everyone else just an hour after having beat everyone else. That is just sick.

I wouldn\'t necessarily say he\'s the best Olympian ever. Track athletes might have enough events to do it but that\'s way more unrealistic with the distances making them much different, as opposed to different strokes. He\'s still one of the great athletes ever just not the best.
I\'ll take Carl Lewis or Jesse Owens for best Olympian

did he just do a falsetto at the end? interesting. he couldn\'t sing but he could do a very high note at the end.

Phelps will still be swimming in 4 years. Doubt if he will be able to do 8 events again, but damn that\'s a lot of medals if he can pull it off.

Greatest for a swimmer? Maybe. But Greatest Olympian of all time? HA! Jim Thorpe doesn\'t think so.
IMO, I think Decathletes have it tougher. And they get one gold for all ten events, I think.

My friend Bob Saget is one of the dirtiest motherfuckers you will ever see on stage. When Bob was doing Full House and Americas funniest he had an amazing cocaine habit and was constantly high. Long story short...bob saget is the shit.

I like people who kind of undermine Phelps\' accomplishments because, for example, there\'s not as many chances to get golds in other sports. Or because he doesn\'t run track.
Sure, Phelps can swim I guess. But how far can he jump?

Man, Bob Saget is a filthy guy. He done those G-rated shows for money and nothing else. His stand up has always been very R-rated stuff.
One of his famous skits is talking about sucking dick for cocaine.

that was funny lol. well, it said that he has ADHD as a child growing up, that maybe explains his slightly rough appearance. But seriously, he has a very mild case of ADHD compares to other where they are much more serious. Doing a lot of physical exercises does help a lot with keeping his ADHD under control.

a mild case of ADHD is ADD..and it doesnt affect your appearance. but if that\'s true, i wouldve put something shiny at the bottom of the pool if i were his competitor
Title: Phelps
Post by: Paul2 on August 28, 2008, 09:44:58 AM
when he was doing interview, he talked smoothly, but he stuttered a bit here and there. So, I guess that might be part of his ADD or ADHD, or whatever you are talking about. But a very mild case though. Compare to other that were being interviewed, they talked smoothly too but without the stuttering.
About his appearance, compare to his friends and other competitors, they look slightly brighter than he is. Like a normal average person. But who am i say too, i look a lot dumber than many people on average.
