Pool Of Blood: Michael Phelps Versus A Dolphin

Remember before the Winter Olympics were cool everybody had a hard-on for the Summer ones? And remember Michael Phelps,  that guy everybody thought was so great because he outswam a bunch of humans?

Big deal. I'm a human and I suck at swimming. But you know who doesn't suck at swimming? Dolphins.

This train of logic can only lead us to one thing. To be any good, the next Summer Olympics will have to have Phelps fight a dolphin to the death in a swimming pool. (The pool will be salt water to be fair to the dolphin, of course.)

Grin Adorable Goofy
Preferred Inhalation Method Blowhole Bong
What I Like Over a thousands pounds + incredible speed burst ability = deadly ramming potential. According to this textbook I found, a dolphin charge does 2d6+5 damage. Phelps better bring a lot of hit points. You can't make a fists with flippers. Meanwhile Gold Medal Boy can lob his hand grenades from a distance with his 6-ft. 7-in. arm span.
What Worries Me Friendliness. There have 24 reported cases of dolphin agression towards humans in the last five years. That's it? We're killing them for cheap seafood, making them do stupid tricks for fat tourists and trying to ride them. Where's dolphin Spartacus? Inferior human respiratory system. Bottlenose dolphins can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes. Phelps is in trouble if the dolphin can get a piece of him and keep him underwater.

Olympic Impact: Luge Guy Versus Skeleton Guy

Special Fight Rules - The participants will meet on a specially designed luge/skeleton run. I've had somebody in our labs draft up the schematics shown on the right.

  • A represents the starting point of Luge Guy. 
  • B represents the starting point of Skeleton Guy.
  • C represents their point of impact.
  Skeleton Guy Luge Guy
     
Attack Move  Flying headbutt Double-leg kick
 What I Like If he steers well, could land a devastating headbutt to the exposed crotch of Luge Guy. Two feet, two weapons. Could combine them and go straight for the helmet or separate for a pincer attack aimed at exposed shoulders.
What Worries Me Might be hard to keep his eye on the prize. Luge Guy gets to watch the initial impact from six feet away. Skeleton Guy must suppress instinct and not blink. Footwear. When throwing a 90 mile per hour luge kick, slippers aren't ideal protective gear.

Super Brawl: Peyton Manning Versus Drew Brees

  Peyton Manning Drew Brees
Mug Shot He only owns one shirt Genocidal maniac Carmen Sandiego
Profession Product endorser, NFL quarterback NFL quarterback
Mole No Yes
What I Like Size. Big reach advantage over Brees. Probably has some experience ass-kicking from beating on younger brother Eli. Toughness. Half a foot shorter and 20 pounds lighter than Peyton but has only missed one game since 2005. And that's despite arguably having a weaker O-line protecting him. Sacked 20 times this year, while Peyton was sacked only 10.
 What Worries Me Peyton is probably the greatest quarterback in history when it comes to adjusting and commanding his team. What will he do when it's just mano-a-mano? Possible Madden Curse. Brees is being considered for the cover of the next iteration of the game.
