Michael Phelps Isn't Funny. Boo.

I will make this a quick note, since I want to enjoy Sunday Night Football, but I've got to say, aside from the Tina Fey as Sarah Palin opening, last night's SNL left a lot to be desired. Phelps was awkward and not funny, which is unfortunate since I think athletes can do a good job on the show (Peyton Manning is obviously the best example of that). I think last night's problems go beyond the host though: many of the skits were also awkward and uncomfortable and not funny. I hope that things improve in the future as I think the current cast has some real winners, with Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis at the top of that list.
