Amanda Beard Does Not Want To See What's Inside Michael Phelps' Speedos
Just days after finding out Lindsay Lohan and apparently half the European runway model population would like to possibly make him their boyfriend, Michael Phelps earned a little lesson in humility this week thanks to oft-nude swimmer Amanda Beard. Beard, appearing on a radio show based in Phoneix, ...
Michael Phelps Getting Him Some Lindsay Lohan (OMG, LOL)

Welcome To The Post-Phelps Malaise
Late Saturday night Michael Phelps finally accomplished the impossible-turned-inevitable: 8 gold medals, setting hearts aflutter and cementing his legacy as an Olympic icon destined for corporate millions, milk mustaches, and being an overexposed special guest on NBC shows for the rest of his life. ...
Phelps Achieves Perfection With a Little Help From His Friends
Michael Phelps has just made history by eclipsing Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in a single Olympics with a win in the 4x100 medley relay in Beijing.

Amid Protest, Use Of Instant Replay, Phelps Wins 7th Gold
Michael Phelps, arguably the face of the United States contingent in these Beijing games, is seven-for-seven. Last night, he came from behind in the 100-meter (328 feet) butterfly, edging out Serbia's Milorad Cavic by 1/100th of a second. It appeared to some that Cavic had beaten Phelps to the wall,...
Behold, The Power Of Cheese: Phelps Wins No. 6
The surgeon general is frantically trying to keep a lid on the latest story out of Beijing, in which Michael Phelps has revealed his daily diet.

We Welcome Our New Michael Phelps Overlord
The goggles, they do nothing! Despite leaky specs in the first race of the morning — the 200 meter butterfly — Michael Phelps claimed his fourth gold medal of the Beijing Games.

Rave Reviews For Michael Phelps And His Amazing Technicolor Swim Cap
• Stunning!: “It may be once in a century we see something like this. The rest of the world is catching up to the U.S., the way I look at it – quite a bit. For him to be doing what he’s doing at this moment in time, with the rest of the world coming up the way it is, I think that speaks volumes. And...
No, Mark Spitz Will Not Go Quietly. And Why Should He?
Good line by a commenter on last night's DUAN, "Mark Spitz is printing 6-1 t-shirts as we speak." And it wouldn't surprise me to peak into Spitz's basement and see said shirts actually in production. If he wasn't rooting against Michael Phelps before, he most likely is now that he's been snubbed by ...
Michael Phelps Attempts To Keep America Interested In Olympics Tonight
It seems impossible that Michael Phelps will actually win 8 gold medals, but it's a nice thought. If he doesn't win 8, is Phelps' run at Beijing an epic failure? What if he wins 7? Or even 6? No Wheaties box for you, buddy. Jason Lezak helped him out last night, but tonight it's the 200 freestyle fi...
You Taste Of America, Jason Lezak
There's no better motivation for an American in the Olympics than Frenchy getting in your face and predicting victory. "I will let you go, Ricky. But first, I want you to say ... 'I love crepes.'

Amnesty International Is Trying To Haunt Your Olympic Dreams
Courtesy of the fantastic Copyranter comes the latest anti-China propaganda from Amnesty International.

The Revolution — And Perhaps The Olympics — May Not Be Televised
Bad news: The Olympics party you had planned, where dozens of your friends were going to come over to watch the 110 men's high hurdles on your big-screen tv, may have to be canceled.
