haha Just everyone going to montreal make sure Kitajima doesn't try to do anything shady TO Brendan! He seems to play too dirty. Keep an eye out!

I couldn't agree more with what Aunt K said. The dolphin kick controversy is old news, and it has nothing to do with Brendan's achievements. As far as I'm concerned, it's a comic tool for us and perhaps motivation for FINA to revisit their officiating mechanism. But as far as Brendan's concerned, it seems that he's moved on, and thus, so will I.

I'm here because I support Brendan, the

Great article. I'm sorry that I'll miss that race, but rest assured, my positive energy will be with Brendan that day. I can't wait to hear the results.

Perfection Dana. :o)

right, exactly what DC said. Dana, you should be a writer. I will keep hounding you.

My mind is mush and I need my turbo DD iced coffee, but we know that KK is no contest.
We know that Brendan is physically and mentally much stronger.I look forward to celebrating this in Montreal with citron, golden beer, and pom poms.

2005-07-15T10:08:00.000-05:00

We tend to make a big assumption with KK; we think he believes that he didn't cheat. Let's think about it another way: maybe he knows he did and he doesn't care. I only care to the degree that it hurt a person who played the game right and deserved the win. Kitajima, as my four-year-old friend Garrett would say, "is a comma to me." He's not worthy of much more than a pause.

Lala very nicely said and John as always, love to read your articles on Bren.

I will share one thing with everyone....something I always say, email or text to Brendan before he races. 'All of my positive energy is going your way'. (Swimphilly, remember we put this on the tee shirts before the Olympics.) I am choosing to believe this is why we feel so nervous in the stands and

2005-07-15T08:20:00.000-05:00

Great article John!

Kitajima knows he cheated.
We know he cheated.
The world knows he cheated.

His coaches had to have shown him the tapes. He knows what he did, but he is just to much of a coward to admit it! So now he lies about it. He's a cheat and A liar and Brendan is sweeping the events in Montreal.

And YES swimphilly you will be recieving my

2005-07-15T08:08:00.000-05:00

Wow, As always John, great article. I guess it is reading these things that make me so nervous. Makes you think when you get there that it is not just a race, huh? Again, I will forget about 100 breaststroke race going on and think about what the two of them said instead.
lala, you could not have said it better. Lets just hope nice guys finish FIRST this time!

2005-07-15T08:03:00.000-05:00

KK so full of his own crap is he. that must be uncomfortable, no wonder he's such a tool. lets send him some ex-lax.
what is funny, is that he actually believes he swam clean, i guess its one of those things where someone tells a lie enough they start to believe it? i dunno. this guy is just a massive fountain of ick, and its always such negativity from him...maybe he should get a puppy

2005-07-15T07:51:00.000-05:00

Well said Lala. I agree with you. I don't care if I see Cheata swim or not. I don't even consider him competition anymore. He may win,he may lose but he'll never have my respect.

Great article J,as usual. You've see it from the beginning so you truly know how dedicated Bren has been. Sometimes people forget and need to be reminded.

Can I second the Wheee! ;)

2005-07-15T07:48:00.000-05:00

John - once again, another great article - you are, without a doubt, the best writer that the Daily Times has on staff! It is obvious that you know the subject matter and do a great job of researching your material and conveying your point. It is always a pleasure to read your work.

Thanks for another great article Jello. I agree that he is such a hard worker. So when you interviewed him did you tell him you are gunna play with us and do some mad Karaoke in Montreal? hee hee..

The second article made me so...emotional. Grrrrr. I am gunna crawl out of my skin with excitement about Worlds. And I am so glad that the 100 is early in the meet.

Kitajima can not
