Ryan Lochte Quote About Michael Phelps

If anyone could win a gold medal in being unintentionally funny, it's Ryan Lochte.

In a recent interview with NBC, Ryan said, "I'd be like the Michael Phelps of swimming if he wasn't there."  He's not NOT right ...

We can't imagine what it would be like to be a swimmer during the Phelps era — Ryan is the second most decorated male swimmer in Olympic history, but his impressive 12 medals are eclipsed by Michael's 25 — so good for Ryan for living his truth and telling it like it is.

Ready to watch the Team USA swimmers have a little friendly competition?  Their rival event is tonight:  the 200-meter individual medley.  Phelps has won gold in this event at the last three Olympic games, and this might be Ryan's last chance to beat him.
