In the spirit of calmer, more reasoned discourse- I hope to start a swimming-related one that nevertheless could get our juices flowing. Namely, let's get out on a real limb (before U.S. trials) & fearlessly predict results of Olympic events. You may choose as many or few to predict as you wish- and in a few months some of us may look very swimming-wise or perhaps foolish.
I will wade into it with the event that has been thrown open by Ian Thorpes poor sense of balance, the mens 400m free:
The winner is Perkins of Australia in close to world-record time.
Supplementary prediction: there will be no American on that podium.

I do not think ANYONE IN MY LIFETIME will EVER, EVER, EVER bust Spitz's 7 Golds in the same Olympic Games....it's not going to happen....TRUST ME!
And, if it does...I'll eat crow....Just do not get to keen on going out to buy the BB's....... because you are not going to have to shoot the crow for me to eat in our lifetime........aint going to happen....never, ever....And never, ever is a really long time....Heck, that is even older then my ex-mother in law.....
