Milorad (Mike) Cavic Offers Left Testicle To Rematch Michael Phelps In 100-Meter Butterfly

Everyone will remember Michael Phelps and his eight medals and his new condos and all his nice endorsement deals from the Beijing Olympics, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. But what about Mike Cavic?

Not sure who he is? Me either. That is, until, our Beijing bureau sent over this video of the Serbian swimmer lamenting his one-hundredth of a second loss to the American superstar in the 100-meter butterfly. Oh yeah: that dude.

Some highlights:

On what he would give up for a rematch: “I would give my left testicle.”

On Phelps: “When you think a guy’s unbeatable, you have this fear inside of you. Every time you race him you become more and more OK with with racing that guy. You come closer and closer and think: ‘This guy’s not an immortal. He’s human.’ Once you get that inside of you, you get pretty comfortable. The more and more I race him the more I feel like I can beat him. I want some.”

On what’s next: “I ain’t going to Disneyland.”

I like this guy. One qualm though: why your left testicle, Mike? As a southpaw, I take some offense. Couldn’t we just have said a testicle?

If there’s one thing I do not support, it’s testicle discrimination.

I don't recall their match-up in the 100-yard butterfly.

Now the 100-meter butterfly at the Olympics! That was amazing.

Fixed. And thank you.

I blacked out there for a second and thought we were talking about Mark Spitz in the 1972 Olympics. U.S. CUSTOMARY UNITS > METRIC SYSTEM

He would have won @ 100 yards. Sadly for him, the race was 100 meters. The metric system strikes again! And his sperm is now worthless.

BTW, the Serbian language sounds suspiciously like American-accented English. How odd....

International swimming is always meters. Collegiate/high school swimming is traditionally done in 25-yard pools

If Phelps really wants to make swimming big time, he'll call this dude's bluff. If he lops off a nut and races Phelps, I'll watch.

Well, it wouldn't effect his fertility. I mean, a lot of people can still have children after one testicle have been removed.The production of sperm is not affected by the size of your testicles. Testicles of any size can produce plenty of sperm. The size of the penis is also has nothing to do with sperm count or fertility.

I can't wait to see their rematch. Hope that Phelps calls his bluff and takes his left testicle away!
