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!

Just the opposite. He hasn't been getting his RDCA (recommended daily chlorine allowance).
I threw in the drinking game joke :drink: but (despite the flubs) Gaines does a good job of communicating how exciting swim races can be. I have to think that a more polished but less enthusiastic announcer (like Chris Collinsworth?) would not be a good trade.
I totally agree. Do not want to express my opinion about Mr. Collinsworth. Did anyone else think that him sitting next to Momma Phelps was uncool.
I just felt it was being to close.:blah:
