Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson was a guest on “Pardon the Interruption” earlier this week and he said he would easily beat Michael Phelps in any swimming competition.

The problem with Michael Phelps is there’s no competition where he is,” Johnson said. “Now if he came to where I’m from, which is the inner city, Liberty City (in Miami), I was the three-time Charles Hadley Pool champ.” When co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon chuckled, Johnson said, “Don’t laugh. … I know a couple people who could beat Michael Phelps right now. Seriously, I’m telling you. And I’m one of them.”

I’m going to assume Johnson was either joking or intoxicated because theres no way he actually believes that.
