Michael Phelps is a Ravens fan

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer, shows off one of his Gold Medals, but don’t you want to see his Raven’s jersey?

Olympic hero Michael Phelps is a huge Raven fan.

After winning one of his races and setting a world record, his Mom handed Michael Phelps a Baltimore Ravens Jersey with all the players signatures on it. When someone asked Michael can we see it? Michael handed them the jersey. No, the person meant can we see the gold medal!

When Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti read that he suggested we get a jersey signed by the team and find a way to wish Michael “good luck” from all of us. We got a jersey made with Phelps name on the back with the number 08. All the players signed it, and we were able to get it to his Mom, Debbie, who will give it to Michael before his first swim in Beijing.

Michael is from Baltimore and will return there after the Olympics.

‘Bullet’ heading home
Bowman announced in April 2008 that he was leaving Michigan and returning to Baltimore after Beijing to serve as CEO of North Baltimore Aquatic Club. Phelps, who is nicknamed the “Baltimore Bullet,” will return home as well after four years in Ann Arbor. Phelps and Bowman met at NBAC, which is also where Katie Hoff trains.
