Phelps is going down ....

Is Phelps the best sport in the pool? No. Was Cavic gracious in defeat? Sure. But given the choice between an athlete who keeps quiet until the results are in, then reacts to the results, vs. one who yammers about what the results are going to be, then is forced into diminutive smiles after the results show otherwise, I'll take the former. See I have to disagree here. I think athletes talking some smack before the meet is in a lot of times in good fun. I didn't see Cavic getting really personal (and I think he has an argument about touching first but that's neither here nor there and shouldn't have been mentioned) I dont' like it when smack becomes so and so is no good at this. But Cavic's smack is all in good fun... I think it's way worse when someone cannot be gracious in defeat or winning... Although I didnt' mind the tug on the shirt that much. However, not shaking Biedermann's hand was tactless. Not shaking Biedermann's hand is way worse than anything Cavic ever said about Phelps.
