I find myself needing to race home from work each night to make sure I do not miss "must see t.v." It is not a comedy show I want to see, nor a drama or even a reality show but instead, it is watching Mr. Phelps swim. I would love to say how I enjoy watching him swim against his competition, however, HE HAS NONE! There is no one even close to him in his talent and ability. I mean, honest to God, the guy has to consume 12,000 calories a day in order to do what he is doing. Have you seen him? He has a body fat count of 4 % with that diet, that just speaks to the physical ability and talent this kid has. Is it just me or does he look bored as hell when he is done with a race? At what point during his aquatic race does he begin to think about if he should have the Bear Claw or Powdered Sugar doughnut for a snack to make up for the this exact mental thought he is having? You know what would be fun to see, clone Micheal Phelps and have him race against himself.
Side thought: Not that I am into watching young girls on television but seriously, HOW YOUNG ARE THESE GIRLS IN GYMNASTICS? Are countries exploiting young children in these events....and hold on.....BREAKING NEWS....they have Instant Replay in Gymnastics. What the hell is this? Major League Baseball can not use replays, however, these judges are able to replay and pick apart each routine to see if they complete each turn and twist to see if they are able to be scored in one category or another...OK this is scary I have put this much time into Gymnastics, I am done with this now....
Back to Phelps, this guy is swimming something like 17 events in 11 days. I would pay to see some other athletes of today to compete in that many games in that few of days. Can you imagine seeing Joe Mauer catch 17 games in 11 days? Yeah, different sport and different situations but whatever in real life that would equate to, there is no way the Baby Jesus would ever be able to do that. How about seeing Shaq play in that many games in 11 days? HAHAHA, sorry that was funny to me. Anyways, Phelps just swam and won a qualifying race 40 mns after winning a Gold Medal and could not have looked more bored or gave a crap less as he was competing. Go Mr. Phelps, if only for a few weeks, you have gotten me interested in watching your sport and watch you compete in it. 6 down, 2 to go, anyone want to bet against him?
