August 13, 200818 yr Almost convinced Phelps' dad is actually a dolphin... His Dad? I say Phelps is. He is amazing. :ylsuper: After I heard M. Spitz's little rant on not coming to te games and the reasons I hope that he is throwing his own personal little fit about now. Had to be invited??

August 13, 200818 yr Author Almost convinced Phelps' dad is actually a dolphin... On a little bit of a more serious note...what is the story behind his father?
August 13, 200818 yr Author All joking aside, that one girl does not even have all her permanent teeth yet. The IOC should be absolutely ashamed that they allowed this farce to go on. I said the exact same thing tonight...pointed out to my girlfriend and her family who "trust the officials" that the one girl doesn't even have most of her adult teeth...at sixteen? Please, lol.
August 13, 200818 yr Author Rogers and Dalhouzer (sp?) looked very good tonight in their match against Argentina. This win advances them to the knockout rounds.
August 13, 200818 yr Author Wasn't Hoff supposed to win 4/5 golds? She is actually swimming more in length throughout this Olympics than Michael Phelps is and she wasn't a favorite in several of her races. I honestly thought she looked tired before she raced tonight. You could see it in her eyes. Whereas compared to Phelps who looks intense and ready to swim a tall times.
August 13, 200818 yr Author The 6 month olds beat us, that's okay, we will beat them in every other sport. :thumb: Not quite... They have been killing us in Diving so far, and are beating us in Gold Medals as well. I am sure you won't call those sports either thought because they aren't basketball lol.
August 13, 200818 yr On a little bit of a more serious note...what is the story behind his father? Divorced in the mid 90s...

August 13, 200818 yr On a little bit of a more serious note...what is the story behind his father? http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/olympics/bal-sp.swim21nov21,0,7730011.story?page=1 Father and son, both proud men, one 53 and the other 18, have not spoken since Michael's high school graduation party. Whether real or perceived, slights had been simmering. Fred remarried one week before the 2000 Olympic final in the 200 butterfly. He and Jackie went to Sydney, where Fred had a pep talk with Michael after the semifinals. They went to the Duel in the Pool, but not to Barcelona for this summer's world championships, where Michael's status covered some of the travel expenses for Debbie and Hilary. Overseas trips are costly, but Fred also did not go to the U.S. Summer Nationals in College Park last August. Both say calls to the other have not been returned. "There are reasons, and I really don't want to get into that," Michael said, when asked about being estranged from his father. Pressed, Michael said: "He didn't call me after I set my first world record [in 2001]. He didn't call me after Barcelona." "Two days after he graduated," Fred said, "he said he didn't want me to go to Barcelona because I hadn't been around. This is his world, and I'm just watching him travel through it. People ask me how he's doing, where he's swimming next, and it's hard to say that I don't know."
