Coming in to work today has really been a blast. On the drive in, ESPN Radio was discussing the men's 400 Free Relay win last night. It was the biggest thing to happen on the sports landscape since the MLB trade deadline moves.
I was running on the treadmill at lunch and CNN was covering the victory and had an interview with Cullen Jones.
I've got emails asking questions about swimming from people who never paid the sport any bit of mind.
That swim last night transcended beyond the sports enthusiasts interest. It was a story about Americans, not a story about swimmers.
Congrats to Phelps, UT Alum Weber-Gale, Cullen Jones, and fellow long time socal swimmer and hero of the moment, Jason Lezak (even if he is a UCSB Gaucho, and my Big West allegiance lies with the 'better' Big West swim program, UOP - that ones for you Todd!)
