Eh Personally to me Phelps is just kinda goofy looking. Great Swimmer but not exactly my idea of good eye candy.
Though in general I'm just kind of sick of hearing about him. Esp folks calling him the greatest Olympian ever. Greatest Olympic Swimmer ever sure fine but given the sheer amount of medals available in swimming compared to other sports it bugs me that More medals seems to equal better Athlete in some folks minds.
And before any Phelps fans jump down my throat for saying that. I acknowledge that swimming is a difficult sport and excelling at the various strokes takes hard work. But so does excelling at the Decathlon (10 events) but there's only one medal for decathlon competitors to fight over.
