Phelps

Finally! I can’t believe it, but the Phelps show is finally over. Don’t get me wrong, what he did is unbelievable and his skill should be recognized, but the coverage of the event has been getting on my nerve.s The things that annoyed me the most was the coverage right after the incredible 4by100 freestyle, where Lezak pulled off an incredible split in order to shutdown the French, one of the most exciting ends to a race that I have ever seen. The next day all reporters were talking about is how this helped continued Phelps dream and one reporter even had the nerve to ask Lezak if that is what gave him the energy to win the race. Lezak’s reply was perfect. He said that at that point it was not about a single member of the team and that every member worked their hardest in order to win the medal and they weren’t thinking at tall about Phelps’s chance at history. When Phelps celebrated with his teams, NBC would always taint the moment saying that he was only happy because it helped him on his journey to beat Spitz. They completely disregarded the idea that he was happy for the team and was cheering on friends…
I also hate those McDonalds Chicken Sandwich commercials with a passion.
