Happens To The Best Of Us: Caeleb Dressel Admits To Getting Stuck In A Game Of Thrones Marathon Last Night, Has His Worst Olympic Day Today

Caeleb Dressel was one of our best swimmers. You could lock him for some gold medals, setting records, all of that. But today? Today he struggles to say it politely. Finished 6th in the 50m free, missed the finals in the 100m fly. 

But, look, no excuses. Everyone is forced to staying up late. All I know is he admitted he got sucked into a Game of Thrones marathon. Get him on the horn, Basement Boys. Whether you're a dragon guy or not, everyone and I mean everyone knows this feeling. You're sitting on your couch, next thing you know you see a Fast and Furious marathon coming up on TV. Maybe it's King of Queens. Whatever it might be, your show or movie that you know you'll end up watching comes on. 11pm turns into 3am real fast. 

Sure, you want to be prepared for your busiest day of the Olympics. But we need to know 1) was it Game of Thrones or House of Dragons and 2) if it was Thrones what season are we talking here? Is it a rewatch or is he finally getting around to catching the series? All of these are important questions that must be answered. It could change how we talk about his struggles so far in the Olympics. 

He still has a chance to race in some relays. Time to finish Thrones, get on that cardboard bed and get some sleep. USA swimming is getting our ass kicked these Olympics and I don't care for it. Get Phelps and Lezak out of retirement here soon if this keeps up.
