Mayor of Atlantis? I thought he taught Dolphins to swim at Marine World!
bang up job at the Olympics. Hard enough to keep up the physical stamina but reaching the level of "never been done before" without psyching yourself out....that's priceless
Cheers,

The amazing thing he really seems to have held up doing what everyone expected him (and his medley team mates) to do. Refer to the Giants versus the Pats in last years Super Bowl.
No let down.
That, and he seems like a decent human being.

>>>The most outrageous actual flub committed by a TV commentator during the 2008 Olympics was uttered by Venezuelan sportscaster Willie Oviedo on TVes:

"Never in the Olympic Games has any mortal, any living being been able to win eight gold medals. Only Michael Phelps in the Olympic Games of Munich in the year 1972, over there in the Germany of Hitler, where he refused to give him the medals himself back then."

Yes, he really said that.
