Phelps Sets Olympic Record

It took Michael Phelps a mere one race to set his first new Olympic record at this year's 2008 Olympics in Beijing. With a time of 4:07.82 Phelps set a new Olympic record in the 400-meter individual medley. The race was just the preliminaries for Sunday's final.

This is the first of many records expected to fall to Phelps at these Olympics. There is no question as to if Phelps will win a gold medal at this year's Olympics. The question is how many? He is competing in eight events. I'll set the over-under for golds at 7.

Fins Sign Pennington

Former Jet's quarterback Chad Pennington has come to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a two year 11 millions dollar deal. Pennington was cut by the Jets on Friday following the addition of Brett Favre. The Dolphins, coming off a all time franchise worst 1-15 season last year, can use all the help they can get. Pennington will now join a four man competition with Josh McCown, John Beck, and rookie Chad Henne for the starting job in Miami.

This move comes as no big surprise to those who know Bill Parcells as he has always had a liking for Pennington. He was a member of the Jet's front office when they drafted Pennington in the first round of the 2000 draft.

In an interesting twist, the Dolphins and Jets play each other in both team's first post season game this season. We will have to see how Pennington fares against his former team.
