Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Michael Phelps joined Dan in the studio. Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

-- Phelps said he's going to continue competitive racing and will probably try to compete in four to six events in the 2012 Olympics.

-- Phelps said he wants to get back into the pool full time at the end of this month.

-- Phelps said all the newspaper reports about his dating life aren't true. He says those stories are "hysterical." Things are either blown out of proportion or totally false.

-- Phelps said he's put on seven pounds since the Olympics. Those pounds don't show.

-- Phelps said he doesn't talk trash. "I let my swimming do the talking," Phelps said. Phelps said guys say things that are directed at him, but they don't bother him. He just focuses on the water.

-- Phelps talked some nice trash about the Ravens going to the Super Bowl, but he wouldn't give up a gold for a Super Bowl win this year.

-- Phelps said it takes an hour to an hour and a half to shave to get ready for a race. But he's never been invited to a shaving party, like Dara Torres mentioned to Dan.

-- Dan asked Phelps about retirement. Phelps said he could retire whenever he wanted, but he just doesn't want to. He wants to keep on racing. The money doesn't seem to have put out Phelps' competitive fire.
