Did anyone else see this last night?!
It took us quite a few replays on DVR last night to convince ourselves that this race was not rigged in Phelps' favor. Still....one might wonder?

Yeah, we watched it in super duper slow-mo' and Phelps definitely touched first. But it was SOOOOOOO close!!
If I could only be so great. Maybe, even a few inches taller, too. He's a stud. Not better than my Paul, but ya know what I mean. WOW - he's fast!
He truly is a work of art, that Phelps. I've got a semi schoolgirl crush....kinda. What an intense moment. You'll love this Kim, Matt and I were at Kona Grill enjoying our date on Friday night sitting at the bar eating our sushi when this was on the big screen right in front of us....it was IN-CRED-IBLE!
Awesome race....that guy is a machine!!
I finally saw the video last night of this finish...gave me chills watching Phelps lunge at that wall to touch first. Awesome photos!
