I read it your post PWB four times to see if I can find a backdoor to get myself involved somehow. I&amp;#39;ll be happy settling on buying tickets to watch the triathlon. :cheerleader:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: ATTN: Rob Butcher, Please Draft Michael Phelps</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/188465?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Nov 2013 11:30:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a152f377-4698-4f22-bdd1-4bbc37b53d69</guid><dc:creator>orca1946</dc:creator><description>Any chance to show Phelps should be on TV cutting into any basketball - horse racing - golf- hockey games that might be on at that time!!!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: ATTN: Rob Butcher, Please Draft Michael Phelps</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/188410?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2013 11:01:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8c5b60b9-d504-4965-9873-b3acb27c9a4f</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I approve of this petition, but suspect that young Mr. Lochte will not yet be in 400 IM racing form in February, given his knee injury and this timeline: &lt;a href="http://www.swimmingscience.net/2013/11/ryan-lochtes-knee-mcl-rehabilitation.html"&gt;www.swimmingscience.net/.../ryan-lochtes-knee-mcl-rehabilitation.html&lt;/a&gt; 

Also, I think a Michael vs. Rowdy showdown should take place at Rowdy&amp;#39;s alma mater, Auburn, where there is a most conveniently scheduled meet for this timeline. :banana:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: ATTN: Rob Butcher, Please Draft Michael Phelps</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/188450?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:13:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0f62e438-00a4-411d-93e2-598bd32a5054</guid><dc:creator>Elaine Krugman</dc:creator><description>:applaud:Love it, pwb!!! :lmao:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: ATTN: Rob Butcher, Please Draft Michael Phelps</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/188437?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2013 06:35:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a44027db-f472-4009-89c4-ab8f5b07cc5d</guid><dc:creator>Patrick W.

Plus, the injury might slow him down enough to make Michael think he can take Lochte!
