Now by the time most of you read this the finals will be over but ... Keller had the slowest split, OBVIOUSLY Phelps (& I'm guessing Lochte) are a done deal ... Vanderkaay put up a 1:46.67 leading off followed by Jayme Cramer's 1:47.97, David Walters 1:47.75 & Keller's 1:48.60 ...
Do you take a total rookie? Slightly more experience with Cramer, or a struggling but veteran Keller? Personally I say give the rookie a shot, who knows what he'll put up next year.
My prediction: Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay, & Cramer
I'd like to see ... Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay & Walters ...

If Russia had the three best defensemen in the world in hockey should they be able to have an extra person on the ice during games?
And why stop at three? If the USA has the four top swimmers should they all be allowed to swim?
Perhaps we should remove the nationalism from the Olympics and just let individuals enter and teams be formed from any mix of athletes?
Perhaps the USA should be satisfied that it can draw it's team members from the largest population of any country in the developed world?
Perhaps the USA will only be satisfied when the swim teams from most countries have withered into nothing because their NOCs have figured out that they aren't going to win any medals in swimming and so aren't going to invest any development money?
Just adding some more questions to the mix. ;)
For some reason I have an urge to get flamed into oblivion tonight :D
