I didn’t last the hour plus it took the special to actually get to the race. But I watched until Phelps’s very meme-worthy reaction to the hypothetical shark’s speed, then turned it off.
Glad CNN’s excellent reporting was on the results.
@mtb002 As Sarah Spain pointed out today on ¿Highly Questionable? or Around the Horn, Connor McGregor is getting paid $100 million to compete in a sport he doesn’t actually do. He’s definitely going through with it.
@mtb002 It was actually a thing, like the Mayweather McGregor fight. They are going to play three rounds of Virtua Fighter (ca. 1994) and still get paid enough to retire a hundred times.
FAKE NEWS!! Really.
If there ever was such a thing, this is it. CNN covering a fuckin’ advertisement for shark week like it was an actual sporting event, with any actual risk to Michael Phelps. And then complaining about how it wasn’t. Really?
FAKE NEWS!!! Sad.
I still maintain that racing a great white shark seems more like something Ryan Lochte would do. And he might actually race a shark, not some CGI hypothetical.

No, and I don’t care.
So that dumpster fire they call basic cable still a thing I take it?
Just the clip on the internet.

On the radio this morning one of the hosts was musing whether the phrase “jumped the shark” would be amended to “raced the shark”.
That was actually a thing, huh?
I was kind of hoping that it was just a promotional stunt, like the Mayweather McGregor fight.

I had no idea it happened until I read the write up. I enjoyed the write up, but I don’t feel the need to read any more about it (or see it).
Left Shark exacts revenge!

@jqubed It would be both Gory and Glorious! Goryous! At least he wouldn’t have to fake the shark-attack report.
Where’s “I heard about it but had zero interest in watching it” choice?
@moondrake you just created it.
Not in a million years. Reality TV is what led to the Drumpf becoming PumpkinFührer. It, like him, is mind-rotting crap.
