[Georgia Girl 2]

My money is on the shark.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Bully, aren’t you a sharknado fan? Well, here ya go.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Nully not Bully.

I know Phelps still has the competitive spirit, but this is dangerous. It will be up to him to say how much risk is too much. Promoters will keep approaching him with ever more outlandish ideas meant to shock and attract viewers.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Will they do an eating contest for an encore?

[Oneanddone]

Winner Eat Loser Contest, I’m there

[econjack]

Put a great white on my heels and I might out swim Phelps!

[Secret Agent Man]

He is a great swimmer.

This is a stupid and ridiculous event.

[KC_Lion]

Literally Jumping the Shark? :D

[epluribus_2]

BBQ or Bereavement? Must See TV!

[the_Watchman]

I would suspect that it is safer to be BEHIND the shark!

[Calvin Locke]

Wasn't there a blurb about Phelps needing money last week? If so, of course he'd sign on for this farce.

I'm predicting that your promoters will hire the bozos that produce NBC Olympic coverage to edit for promotion, spilling tidbits throughout the entire week, with a big flop in the last two minutes of the week's programming.

I tend to watch documentaries, but once you've seen one shark week, you've essentially seen 99.44% of future ones.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I’d rather see Caitlyn do it . . . in the same tank.

Though the shark will probably spit it out . . . a ‘funny’ taste.

[camle]

will they be in the same tank? adjacent tanks? will they time one swomming a route, then the other?

[N. Theknow]

[IndyTiger]

I remember reading where Jesse Owens would race against and beat racehorses as a promotion. Owens said the trick to winning was to get a high-strung horse that would be frightened by the starter's pistol, which would give him a head start.

[BeauBo]

Meet the Great White Shark...

[discostu]

It won’t be dangerous. They’ll be totally separated. It’ll be boring.

[bgill]

They’ll likely tag a shark and record its speed. Heck, scientists do that every day so there should be plenty of recordings over the years.

Then have Phelps swim in a nice little pool a thousand miles from the nearest shark. The only big whoop would be how high on drugs he is.
