He’s done it again!
Michael Phelps won his third gold medal and record-tying ninth of his career Tuesday, according to ESPN, breaking his own world record in the 200-meter freestyle.
The American touched in 1 minute, 42.96 seconds, lowering his old mark of 1:43.86 set at last year’s world championships in Australia.

Cover 2: Dana Torres
Richard Stengel, Time’s Managing Editor, appeared on my favorite morning news show MORNING JOE on MSNBC, and said something like he simply couldn’t decide who to put on the cover of this special Olympic preview issue of Time Magazine.
Both stories were equally compelling. Dana Torres, the 41-year old swimmer and can LeBron James lead the men’s Olympic basketball team back to glory? (BTW-Time’s cover of Lebron James is not controversial at all compared to his appearance on Vogue with Giselle.)
Long story short.
We are so close to the beginning of the Olympics (08-08-08) and CoverAwards is your first stop for Olympic Magazine coverage.

To do what?
“To make sure the foundation never cracks.”

“We realized about three years ago we just weren’t meeting the expectations of marriage. For a long time there was this elephant in the room. It was just there, like, ‘Look at the big fucking elephant.’ Excuse my language.”

Steve Carell said, “We wrestled on-set all the time. We would oil up. Do Greco-Roman. Oh, it was just so much fun. After the wrestling, we’d snap towels at each other. I call him Rock ‘the Dwayne’ Johnson.
But seriously, “He’s a good comedic actor. I wouldn’t bet against him in anything. Comedy, action. I would like to see him do dramatic work.”
And he doesn’t care!
When told by Men’s Journal that he sounds like a shark, Johnson says, “That’s okay. To me it is positive. Once you’ve been extremely hungry, you’ll never be full.”
