Poor guy is always in the shadow, 2nd this and 2nd that and then he scores a gold... but nothing special because it wasn't 8 of them.<BR/><BR/>have fun at Timberman, are you ready to get chicked by your chick!? She is ready for this, I got my $$$ on her ya know! AND that new suit of hers is not going to help you...ha ha! Go get em'!BreeWeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321263442189959874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594432012009219257.post-71480796806157300912008-08-15T07:36:00.000-07:002008-08-15T07:36:00.000-07:00I've noticed that noone in the media has highlight...I've noticed that noone in the media has highlighted Phelps' underage DUI received shortly after the last Olympics. Nor did they pan to Debbie Phelps last night after Phelps's close friend Lochte won the Gold medal and set another world record in the 200 m backstroke. I mean, really, why show the swimmer's own Dad when the viewing public could once again see joy spreading across Debbie's face (never mind that I know the first name of Phelps's mom but not those of most of the rest of the US swimmers who are competing.....).<BR/><BR/>I love Phelps. I love watching him swim. But I completely agree with you on the media's overactive interest in everything he does.<BR/><BR/>Good luck this weekend at Timberman.Amber Rydholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572453250983235623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594432012009219257.post-2483187166921695042008-08-14T15:32:00.000-07:002008-08-14T15:32:00.000-07:00hallefrickinlujah!!hallefrickinlujah!!cat.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09601828801615383629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594432012009219257.post-82005748711303766212008-08-14T12:07:00.000-07:002008-08-14T12:07:00.000-07:00Pizza and pasta abs FTW!Poor Scruffy...Pizza and pasta abs FTW!<BR/><BR/>Poor Scruffy...:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17613685986312715512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594432012009219257.post-48936935147120399132008-08-14T11:01:00.000-07:002008-08-14T11:01:00.000-07:00My guess is that everyone is hopping to the pool t...My guess is that everyone is hopping to the pool to swim so they can go eat 10000 calories of pizza and pasta afterwards.

But like the overcrowding of the gym in January, when everyone is trying to stick with their New Years resolutions, the phenomna should die down as soon as the novelty(or media coverage, in this case) wears off.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481701924963671567noreply@blogger.com
