Memo to the World - Don't Talk Trash to Michael Phelps

Here's a tip - if you are swimming in a race against Michael Phelps or a team that he is on, don't talk trash.  Don't say silly things like "we're going to smash the Americans," or "it would be good for the sport if Michael lost."

You'll only make him mad and he'll have to humiliate you and make an example of you. 

That's all.
