Australian Swimmer Eamon Sullivan Is Talking Smack About Michael Phelps. Who the Hell is Eamon Sullivan?
Michael Phelps Got Lucky... 8 Times... Sure, That Makes Sense
SO.... I'm reading all my typical news stuff before I jump back on the Q and I came across an article quoting Eamon Sullivan saying that Phelps "was able to break Mark Spitz's record of seven golds at one Olympics through good fortune and some small errors by rivals."

He goes on to explain by stating this: "One hundred flys...always comes down to finishes and some would say Cavic's finish was - it was at that point 50-50 whether you take another stroke or you take a glide," stating that Phelps took another stroke and he took a glide. Thus equally luck on Phelps part. My thoughts???

If they were playing football and the safety spots the ball carrier coming, and the safety thinks he's going left, but instead the ball carrier goes right, busts open and scores a touchdown. The safety then says it's not his fault, and the ball carrier just got lucky.

NO!!! He didn't get lucky. YOU made a bad decision. Don't take away from him because Cavic wasn't good at judging where the poolside was. How crappy of a competitor do you have to be to say that? Much less a sore loser.

Finally the idiot closes with these statements:
"I guess what else is left to do for him except come down and win races he hasn't won before? ... He better bring his A-game because us sprint boys are a different league and we are not going go easy on him."

In closing, I can only wish that this man would read this and see these final words.

You couldn't beat us in what's supposed to be the STIFFEST competition from EVERY COUNTRY! What really makes you think your gonna beat him in something as simple as AUSSIES meets. Give me a break and shut up so that you can return home with some dignity. A second place finish was enough for me to give it to him....but then I read this.......I hope Phelps CRUSHES HIM so we won't have to hear this crap again.

Sullivan's just bitter because he was going out with Stephanie Rice before Phelps won 8 golds and stole Rice from him.

He's a bitter, bitter dude. And a loser.

There were definitely a small error committed by Cavic in the 100m butterfly and some could argue that the US was extremely lucky that Alain Benard tightened up in the last 25m of the 4x100m relay but that still doesnt take away the feats that Phelps accomplished.  With Phelps being a motivational junkie, you can bet he'll have these quotes from Sullivan fresh in his mind the next time he takes to the pool opposite the Aussie

He's just talking trash to make himself feel better because he knows he can't beat Phelps mano-y-mano.

well, good luck guys, just because michael phelps is "greatest" swimmer in the world.
I'll bet that makes you fatass americans feel so much better about your super-sized lives.

and eamon sullivan is doing so much better than stephanie rice, who is pretty ugly, so I say she deserved phelps, those to ugly people can live happily ever after and have ugly kids.

You've misinterpreted Eamon's comments. When Eamon said ""I guess what else is left to do for him except come down and win races he hasn't won before?", he's not referring to Phelps coming down to compete in Australia, but to Phelps coming down to the shorter distances in freestyle. Phelps only competed in the 200m freestyle at Beijing. It is expected that at the next world champs he will move down to the 100m and possibly 50m freestyle. It will be tough for him though because his best 100 time is almost half a second slower than Eamon's world record.

We Americans on this site are better than you for not talking s*** on other countries.  I think we already know the U.S. is having economic problems, thanks for stating the obvious, are you by chance related to John Madden?  You are certainly not important, because I don't care about people who act like a pompous ass against MY country!  Actually, I take that back, I do care...about ripping them a new one to show them how much of a jerk they are.

I treat others with respect not only on this site, but in everyday life.  Unfortunately there are so many new members who join this site and come in on their high horse, and I make it a point to prove to them they're nothing special.  You had absolutely no reason to come into this thread and start bashing the United States.  THAT is the reason I've been so harsh to you.  Don't come in here with your guns a-blazing and think you're going to get away with it.

For the record - Sullivan has 2 Olympic Silver medals and one Bronze medal. And he is saying that a man with 14 Olympic Gold medals (who excels at all 4 swimming disciplines) should bring "his A-game because us sprint boys are in a different league and we are not going to go easy on him". What Phelps has proven over the years is that he excels at anything he puts his mind to. Third behind Hoogenband and Thorpe in the 2004 Athen Olympics 200 meter freestyle - works hard at becoming the best in that event - smashes Thorpe's world record at Melbourne World Championships in 2007 and lowers it again at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Thorpe definitely "went easy" on Phelps by retiring. Sullivan - unless you are also planning to retire soon, perhaps you better bring your "A-game".

Personally your another human being, where you come from i could care less. AND i have family in BUFFALO, New york. Pretty close dont ya think? YOU assumed we hated you. seems personal to me. Your sick of things NO ONE here said to you. if "americans" have hated you before dont you think you should try and break through that barrier? not come to a post and create it?
