I know he's a US Swimming icon, but he is really, REALLY hard to listen to sometimes. He gets so excited that he messes up names and strokes, but he also just makes crap up. Then spends 5 minutes trying to prove it.
I may have to mute him! God help him if Phelps is going for # 7 and 8 by the end of the week!

Rowdy's awesome. We're lucky to have a guy that's so dedicated to our sport. And Dan Hicks has come along nicely as the announcer. Remember that Rowdy's the "color" commentator... ever heard of *** Vitale?
The most grating person to listen to... Cynthia Potter in diving. Can she leave the viewing audience with just 1 second of silence? No Cynthia, I did not see how the diver's left foot was turned outward 14 degrees more than their right foot, causing too much splash. And I doubt anyone else did at live speed either.
