Feel free to watch the women's 200 breast again. Rowdy is somehow puzzled that the Olympic record holder and defending champ is only 0.1 behind kate douglass. That's clown shite.




About the 130 meter mark he makes a comment about the NED swimmer Schouten being a surprise ..he has her a bronze medalist but was right there with Douglass /Smith ( and Schouten did get bronze)

Like i said, i didn't watch NBC coverage... but that does sound similar enough. Dude prepares for the race he fantasizes and gets weird when that doesn't occur. I've been pushing he's on the spectrum theory to a few friends. They're slowly coming around on it.

One of the most iconic calls in all of sports was Hicks/Gaines call of Jason Lezak’s amazing last 50 meter in the 2008 4x100.

Can't stand his voice, his yelling, etc. I've stopped watching the swimming events because of him.


Get your grandkid to show you the volume button on the remote.

So you are criticizing the guy for a comment he didn't make during a telecast you didn't watch?

I get that you were a competitive swimmer and college ..and beyond and have your own significant insight , but for the casual fans that follow swimming but really only watch the 8 days of the Olympics and stay on the channel for a bit during other championships...Rowdy provides passion, insight and just enough American bias

You sound bitter. I just listened to it again and none of this happened

He was suprised by the Dutch swimmer staying so close to them
