Phelps is going down ....

It wasn't captured on TV but Phelps did shake Biedermann's hand as they exited the pool. My bad. But I guess I'm just trying to say is depending on the circumstances, I don't think a little ribbing is bad. And I actually in someways cannot blame Cavic for pointing out that Phelps could use the suits if he wanted to, because look at what happened when Biedermann beat Phelps. It became all about the suits. Not said directly by Phelps, but certainly by others. When I don't like smack is when it becomes extremely bad. For example I remember in another sport I watch gymnastics. Paul Hamm a year ago was saying some things about Yang Wei which went out of line. He literally said well Yang is going to be under more pressure than me, because who knows what the Chinese government will do to him, if he doesn't bring home the Gold. It was quite ridiculous comment actually because we'll Paul Hamm knew quite well that Yang and the entire Chinese bombed big time in Athens me and women. And well, they all lived to see the next day. Several of the bombing gymnasts were at the time Hamm spoke attending some of China's top universities. If you have moderate success as an athlete in Chin (like win a world cup title in bars for example, you get huge points off your admission test to China's top universities. I guess I'm saying is long as the smack talk is fair and not completely out of line. I don't see the big deal. Of course though with Phelps you might want to think about the dangers of getting him fired up and angry. Biedermann played Phelps a lot better than Cavic did.
