Ravens Stopped Preseason Game To Watch Michael Phelps
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Baltimore Ravens fans were in a dilemma.
Michael Phelps, a Maryland native and the most decorated Olympic athlete all time, was going for his 22nd goal medal while the Ravens we're playing their first preseason game.
So what did they do? They stopped the game.

Phelps, of course, won his 22nd gold medal in the 200 meter individual medley and his 26th medal overall. After the race he admitted to texting one of his Ravens buddies, who was giving Phelps score updates on the football game.
