It's Phelps & then everybody else!


4 days into the Olympics & I am sure you've seen Michael Phelps all over the tube, talked about on the radio, & pics in the paper. I for one enjoy seeing him win every race & smashing world records to let all of his oppenents know he is the BEST! Not the best now, but the best EVER. A little trash talk never hurt anyone especially beating the French in a race they had won. That everybody else I mention was Jason Lezak. If you didn't see the 4x100 Men's Relay last night, then you missed out on an epic finish. Trailing by almost a body lenght with 50 meters to go, Lezak caught the Frenchy & set the world record in the process. With this win this evening, the 2 yesterday, Phelps has 5 more events to make it 8 gold medals for the games breaking Mark Spitz record of 7. It should happen but like anything, nothing is for sure. As a proud American I salute you Michael Phelps.
