Cant wait to see Portland Maines Ian Crocker compete against Baltimores Michael Phelps. Been waiting for this for 4 years!

 

from what I've seen ( not that I've been watching closely. ) I think your going to be disappointed.

 

At the trials In the 100 meter butterfly phelps swam a 50.89 Crocker swam a 51.62 the world record is owned by crocker at 50.40

Phelps is pegged for 8 golds at this event sso say the people in the know. The only event where he has been given trouble is the 100 fly due to its his shortest event. It is crockers best event.

There both USA so I say Go Crocker take the gold or make phelps sweat winning it.

Crocker is a maine boy so its easy to see whom ill be cheering on!

How bout the rest of NE who has whom?

 

No one cares.

 

Well said, Bill.

 

I might care if I had cable tv or an antenna. But since I don't have any way to see the events, I know nothing about them or the athletes.

 

And soon an antenna won't help either.
