No one in the 112 year history of the Olympic Games has won 8 golds in one Olympics. Until now.
A journey that started four years ago after his six-gold performance in Athens and included 17 swims over nine days here ended triumphantly for Michael Phelps on Sunday.
Phelps earned his unprecedented eighth Olympic gold medal of the 2008 Olympics as he swam the butterfly leg of the Americans’ world-record win in the 4×100m medley relay to close out the swimming competition at the Water Club.
8 golds, 7 world records, 14 career golds. Can there be any doubt that Phelps is likely the greatest athlete ever?
Packers fans can start this season with a clean slate, or as the case may be, a clean fence. The famous fence facing Lambeau Field was given a fresh coat a paint Friday and ideas for this year’s slogan are being collected.
Slogans must be 34 letters or less. You can email your fence suggestions to Chris Handler at handy-e-vita-man@sbcglobal.net or mail it in to 3104 Essen Road, Green Bay, WI 54311
The new slogan will painted just in time for the Packers’ home opener on Monday Night Football against the Vikings.
Perhaps something like “Ride the A-Rod Xpress to the Super Bowl”
