I think most people by now are pretty over Shark Week. You can only watch so many shark documentaries and specials and Sharknado movies until it’s all redundant. But every year Discovery seems to find a way to pull people back in, and this year it’s with Michael Phelps vs a Shark.

Now, as I said before, unless Phelps and the Shark are in the same pool and Phelps is swimming for his life with a papercut on his foot, this race is pretty meaningless. It’s like watching a guy walk on a tight rope over the Grand Canyon but he has a net in case he falls- it’s pretty pointless. Unless something insane can happen like Phelps gets mauled and ripped apart limb by limb, we can save our time and give the gold medal to Mr. Sharky right now
