    I think he'll turn it up for the event finals, but it would be embarrassing for Phelps not to win at the Charlotte Ultra Swim

    This is like Albert Pujols being sent down to AAA, he should win by a bigger marger than Mine That Bird did at The Drby

    Informative article-comparison videos, stats, the works. Don't think these qualifying results are any cause for alarm. He'll turn it on when he needs to.

    I never worry about what he places in qualifying. Whenever he does qualifying rounds, he doesn't go out to win or to impress. He goes out to make sure he makes it to the next. No need to worry. Though I don't think he should mess with perfection. His original strokes won him all 8 gold medals these past olympics and break numerous world records.

    I think at certain times it is cool to be Michael Phelps and other times he probably wishes people would mind there own damn business.
