In fact, I'll bet you right now that he'll be in London. Heck, I'll give you odds. I'd go 5-1.<br /><br />Here's the deal: Michael Phelps goes to London, you write a post at the end of the Games acknowledging that tech suits were the single biggest mistake in the history of swimming and I, TedBaker, am the smartest, most knowledgable and best looking of all readers.<br /><br />Phelps doesn't go to London, I will write a post in which I state that tech suits were the sport's potential savoir and I was an absolute idiot to not see that. Further, I will state that Tony Austin's little finger on his left hand knows more about swimming than I ever will, even if I lived 10 lifetimes.<br /><br />You in?TedBakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-35554673106133854692010-12-20T16:32:27.210-08:002010-12-20T16:32:27.210-08:00The long series of events from him complaining how...The long series of events from him complaining how unprepared he was in France, US Nationals, Pan Pacifics. <br /><br />Bob Bowman talking up the arguments they had regarding getting him back into the pool in the recent ESPN article.<br /><br />A no show in Dubai.<br /><br />With all this said, he seems to be a guy who wants a new job.Tony Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109365938555421509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-86596065646198685422010-12-20T15:24:48.708-08:002010-12-20T15:24:48.708-08:00How can you be so sure?How can you be so sure?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-73510730804079131052010-12-20T15:20:37.426-08:002010-12-20T15:20:37.426-08:00Phelps isn't going to show upPhelps isn't going to show upTony Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109365938555421509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-12487389427176536832010-12-20T14:54:57.281-08:002010-12-20T14:54:57.281-08:00"I have no doubts that Lochte can achieve the..."I have no doubts that Lochte can achieve the same individual medal count as Phelps."<br /><br />If Phelps swims in London, the only "certain" gold for Lochte is 400IM (if Phelps doesn't do it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-36992292457500370702010-12-20T13:54:05.827-08:002010-12-20T13:54:05.827-08:00I highly doubt that Phelps will participate in the...I highly doubt that Phelps will participate in the London Games.

What a crop of absolutely amazing athletes! And they're from everywhere.<br /><br />I do think that USA Swimming still sets the bar in terms of both depth and individual brilliance but I also agree that the rest of the world is rising to that bar.<br /><br />Lochte / Phelps in the 200 IM will be legend. Those two guys are going to take that swim to some completely other place by the time they're done.TedBakernoreply@blogger.com
