    Pool and Open Water Swimming: Do Not Swallow the Water

    in 2016 Olympics

    Twitter is on FIRE right now. Just search Lochte:

    @GaryParrishCBS: How is it possible Ryan Lochte was the only one of those four swimmers smart enough to realize he needed to exit Brazil, ASAP?

    (Like how is Ryan Lochte the smartest dude in a four-person group?)

    @BobbyBigWheel: I bet Ryan Lochte's interrogation is a lot like Brendan Dassey's

    @davelozo: Cop: [pointing at Lochte] Did you fabricate this or not?
    Lochte: [looks at sweater] No my grandmother fabricated it. She loves to knit.

    The Fug Girls have officially brightened my Monday: their Olympic abs post is here.

    And lest you think there are only abs, there are also shoulders like this...DEAR GOD, those are glorious:GettyImages-587851714-510x340.jpg

    And backs! Backs are so underrated.

    I just found out that a girl I'm friendly with knows Nathan Adrian, and she said I'm actually pretty much his type. I tried to play it cool, but I wanted to be like HOOK A GIRL UP PLEASE.

    I have to add my voice to the chorus of Nathan Adrian admirers. Six foot six inches of fine AND he seems like a nice guy too.  I was so mad at NBC for running after Michael Phelps and not spending a little more time on Adrian.  After all, just how many times do we have to look at Boomer?  Every time I see the little thing, I can't help feeling sorry for him because his parents are more interested in appearing to be cool than to finding a decent name for their child.

    I read an article (here: http://www.espn.com/olympics/summer/2012/swimming/story/_/id/8224097/2012-olympics-nathan-adrian-becomes-feel-good-story-olympics) that talked about how he's not only one of the nicest guys on the team, but one of the nicest guys in the world. Ooff. Call me Nathan. Please come back for 2020!!!!! I will be crushed if he doesn't.

    Having lived in Bremerton, I've been taking a special pleasure in cheering for Nathan.

    Lucky you. He'd probably need a restraining order for me.

     

    I'm watching some of the old Phelps races  - I was actually on a cruise in 08 and we were streaming THE RELAY on really shoddy wifi. The whole room erupted when Lezak touched first. That was great to watch again.

    Lochte please come back in 2020. Preferably without the ice blue hair and that playboy playmate who calls herself your girlfriend. 

     

    Yeah, I saw him on Tinder (thanks location-changing!) so not so much.

     

    Re: Phelps. I have partied with him back in the day, and so has my cousin. He was kind of a douchebag about 5 or 6 years ago, but by all accounts has really mellowed. I'm from Annapolis, MD so I know a ton of people who know him.

    Also, I drive past Ledecky's school every day :)

    Hate on NBC and the Phelpspalooza all you want but damn, the man is a beast. 4 golds in the 200IM; he totally killed it. 

    Poor Lochte... I'm crushed he didn't medal. 

    Exactly how I feel. He can take this one of two ways...quit or use it as motivation. The fact that he was second behind Phelps in the semis means SOMETHING. COME BACK RYAN!

    There it is. Bob  and Phelps interview. 
    I have zero respect for people who drink and drive. sorry that he was having post Olympic depression (a legitimate thing). almost lost my family to a drunk driver. 

    While I understand your feelings, I have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to Phelps. I can't really explain it.

    However, I have a really rip-roaring crush on Lochte and as dumb as he is, he is known as a great guy. So I kind of want him to win. I hope the state of Maryland doesn't disown for me this.

    Ha!  It's funny how Ryan is the second oldest on the team but yet is still pulling the majority of the women.  I think Nathan's a cutie, too, but none of these young boys are doing a thing for me. Lol

    I'm 28 so it's not surprising the 27 year old and 32 year old are most attractive to me. These young guys look so young!
