Master of Self-Delusion

Mark Spitz, formerly known as the greatest swimmer of all time, has been reduced to the mere master of self-delusion.

In a Fox News article, Mr. Spitz (which just sounds gross) has been quoted as saying that if both swimmers were in their prime he would be able to keep pace with Michael Phelps.

Is that so?

If in your prime, Mr. Spitz, you were able to swim as fast as Michael Phelps, why is it that he has broken your world records? Why has he been able to get more gold medals than you could? Here's a clue: he is way better than you.

Enjoy your self-delusion, Mr. Spitz. No one is buying it, but if you like it, so be it.

P.S. Michael Phelps is spelled as you see it spelled in this blog. "Micheal Phelps" is incorrect and completely retarded. Nobody--and I mean nobody spells their name "Micheal."

P.P.S. I hope I never hear the name "Mark Spitz" again.

P.P.P.S. Did I mention that the name "Mark Spitz" just sounds gross?
