Title: Finally --- Michael Phelps is finished.
Post by: Hereford on August 17, 2008, 01:37:10 AM
Phelps is done in Beijing.

Maybe they can focus on something other than the 24-hour-a-day-Michael-Phelps fellation session now...

He's 23 and swimming is ALL he has done his whole life. Plus now it's the time to cash in on his fame.
He'll go on to the next olympics, win some more golds, break the all-time gold record thus creating a new buzz, rack in some more dough, and retire shortly after.

I think Phelps has 14 golds now, from 08 and 04.

Phelps will only be 27 for London so I say compete and make the record untouchable. He will be a more experienced faster swimmer and break at least half of his own records. After that retire with the multi-millions and the legendary status.

I assume you mean "Finish" as in he accomplished all he set out to, right?  And not the "finished" used in bodybuilding, where it referrs to the body and organs falling apart.  ;)

I mean he's finished.

Lets hear a little about some of the other 700 athletes that are there.

I was watching yesterday, and there was like 6 events going on that wern't being covered, and they were doing an interview with the guy asking hom about what's on his IPOD, how much he eats a day and how long his dick was.

Fuck this guy. He's a great swimmer.... But damn!....

If he walked into a room of GetBiggers, could you identify Michael Phelps without someone saying, "Hey, there's Michael Phelps"? 

He and his coach have already begun planning for London 2012.

Between now and then, however, most of the world will be more focused on real sports.

x2 very hot, last night Shawn got another silver medal in her specialty.

What really pisses me off is how to show swimming so much!  I am swimming is swimming, it would look the same if joe schmoe was swimming in the pool.  It is so boring, nothing to see.

On the other hand lets watch some sports that look interesting NBC fuck!

Let's look objectively at his skill set. He swims fast. That's something that offers no real world value. Olympic groupies/fanboys are the only people who remember Olympians after their prime. It's not like he can flip swimming into a successful investment banking firm or become a lawyer. Chances are he'll end up in the multimillion dollar a year industry of swim coaching where all the fantasies become reality!

He's already signed on to be a spokesperson for some Chinese company, with the deal rumored to be worth around $4 million. Methinks he's going to do alright.

Do you have a $4 million+ net worth, BSB?  ???

Why work 120 hours a week as an i-banker when he can make just as much peddling products for companies?

I'm talking major sports star money. No doubt he'll sustain himself but as far as $$$ he can't touch a major sports star.
