Olympic Watch

So, I feel like I can't really keep blogging about sports right now without writing something about the Olympics. And I can't really write about the Olympics without writing about Michael Phelps. Seriously, this guy is (with all due respect to Devin Hester) ridiculous. He currently holds 6 world records (four solo, two relay). He has broken 2 of his own world records. At age 16 he broke his first world record.
Yesterday he won the 200 meter butterfly and the 4x200 freestyle relay. New world records were set in both of those, including career gold medals at the Olympics. Phelps has 11 career golds.

To say that Michael Phelps is the most dominant swimmer ever may be an understatement. The most dominant Olympian? You have to go farther than that. Try most dominant athlete. He is in the conversation with Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, John McEnroe, Babe Ruth, Jack Nicklaus and Magic Johnson. Of all of the Olympics to lay witness to, this is definitely the one that I would choose to see. 1936 in Berlin with Jesse Owens vs. the world is a close second, but 2008 in Beijing is number one for sure.
Ridiculous.
