Michael Phelps is ceding his spot on the medley relay.

Phelps, who already swam in the morning preliminaries on the medley relay, earned a right to swim the final by beating Crocker in the 100 fly Friday night by a minuscule four-hundredths of a second. But Phelps said he would cede his coveted spot in the final to Crocker.

"We came into this meet as a team and we're going to leave it as a team," Phelps said. "It's the right thing to do."

If it didn't mean listening to all those idiots that NBC insists on giving hot air time to, I'd watch this event. I don't plan on watching any Olympics this year - I've finally had it with the way they cover things. Last time I watched there were so many "up close and personals" or whatever they call them now - that they didn't have time to actually show more than about 3 minutes worth of a sport per hour. I have better ways to waste my time.

*** Yeah I'm in a bad mood - how could you tell?
