The Discovery Channel announced in June, Olympic Swimmer, Michael Phelps, will be racing a great white shark on Sunday, July 23, for the start of Shark Week.

This is RIDICULOUS!  It's not enough that Michael Phelps is the best swimmer who's ever lived.  22 Olympic medals . . . 18 of them gold!  And now that he's officially retired from the pool, the Wheaties poster child is turning his sights on golf.  This weekend, at a Scottish pro-am event, Phelps showed he's got serious game.  WATCH THIS!  He sinks a 150-foot putt.  The ball rolls for 17 seconds an
