Reporter Tries to Eat Like Michael Phelps
FanHouse — Filed under: USANo one in the world can swim like Michael Phelps, who won his seventh gold medal of these Olympics last night and will go for his eighth tonight. But can anyone eat like Phelps, who wolfs down 12,000 calories a day? Mark Segraves, a reporter from WTOP television, tried to find out: Yeah, that didn't go well. In theory, getting to eat virtually unlimited quantities of food would sound like one of the great things about being Michael Phelps. In practice, I'm sure there are days when he gets sick of eating and wishes he didn't need 12,000 calories ...

The Big Lead — God bless-ed. Just sit and marvel at the natural beauty that is Keeley Hazel. Keeley, I know it might seem weird or maybe even a bit perverse that I continue to post your pictures, but you’re my online density — I mean my destiny. Yeah. That’s it. You’re my favorite British beaut, and probably my favorite overall. If I was in a Fantasy Fantasy League, I’d draft you number one overall. The only girl who compares is Kelly Kapowski, but that’s in a different way. Plus, I still don’t know that I trust Kelly after that fling she had with Jeff and Professor Jerimiah Lasky. If she ...

The Michael Phelps breakfast challenge
Sports Crackle Pop — Last week came news of Michael Phelps’ diet. The 12,000 calorie daily diet is obscene. And it was inevitable before someone tried to test it. Leave it to WTOP’s Mark Segraves to step up to the plate at the Tastee Diner in Bethesda, MD. “I’ll have a five-egg western omelette, a bowl of grits, a three-egg fried egg sandwich with fried onions, three slices of French toast and three pancakes. To start.” You can just envision the outcome. I think SCP’s Justin can do it!

You Wouldn't Make it as Michael Phelps
The Sporting Blog — A lot was made last week about Phelps’ 10,000 calorie (or 12,000, depending on who you ask) diet -- probably too much was made about it, actually. See, most humans stick to 2,000-3,000 calories, because we’re lazy, inactive desk jockeys, who at best, will burn 500 or so of those calories jogging a few miles in the evening or attempting to play basketball with co-workers. Phelps, on the other hand, spends more time in water than on land, therefore he requires more energy. But I’m not a nutritionist; just a lazy, inactive desk jockey. ...
