    Michael Phelps' daily diet. His lunch would last me 3 days.

    He must crap constantly.
    I don't want to be there when he gets off that daily diet. That's gonna be a gargantuan crash.

    I'd venture to say that food diet is not true.

    Well Phelps does burn, what, tons of calories everytime he swims? So that diet does make sense to me. But yeah I wouldn't want to climb down off of that diet after the Olympics end.

    I do think an investigation into whether or not some of China's athletes were too young to compete in the games should be launched. But will it happen? Probably not.

    Man the US men's and women's swim teams did good tonight. Especially the men's, who won four medels-two golds, one silver, one bronze. And the women's won gold and bronze. Cool.

    I'm glad the two girls got gold and silver yesterday. I was nervous for a while as that judging was all kinds of wonky.

    Yeah, it looked like it was going to end up like that ice skating scandal in 2002 for a little bit there.

    Well, Blake still has a chance to medal, but it won't be gold. He just lost his match with Fernando Gonzalez.

    For once we're in agreement. The Belgian national soccer team has had to endure a lot the past 2.5 years. Frankly, they've been terrible, but finally there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Now here's hoping they'll confirm tuesday.
