Live Michael Phelps Chat from Chicago 2016 Committee

Some of you may know that Chicago is one of the finalists to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Having been in the city this past weekend I think it would do very well hosting the Games with its biggest bonus being the large number of knowledgeable and enthusiastic sports fans in the city. You would not believe the hospitality shown to us (dressed in complete Phillies garb) by Cubs fans over the course of the weekend. This is a city that will truly embrace the events of the Summer Olympics as well as the ideals of the Games.

Today the Committee working to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago will host a live video web chat with Michael Phelps. Phelps will talk about his historic campaign in Beijing as well as his support for the Chicago 2016 bid. The chat will begin at 6pm Eastern Time but the chat room will open early for people to talk about Chicago's Summer Olympic bid.

This Blog Will Be A Changin'

This blog will be undergoing some changes over the next couple of weeks for obvious reasons. Don't get used to the current name because that will go away once we settle everything with the team.

Be excited! The changes coming for the team are exactly what we need to advance this program now and ten years from now.
