*Ecstatic* No one will talk about anything else tomorrow (today).
Phelps actually strikes me as rather unassuming. Sure, he's got high goals and is trying to really make his mark, but he doesn't strike me as arrogant about it (though the hype surrounding him may make it seem that way).

I always thought I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't reach those lofty goals... see my post #28 in this thread, about Mark Spitz in the 1968 Olympics (four years before he won his seven).
