**BREAKING: Michael Phelps Agrees to Give Swimming Lessons to Baltimore Ravens, Team Immediately Declares Dominance in Upcoming Water Polo Season**
In a shocking move, Olympic swimming legend Michael Phelps has announced that he will be trading in his goggles for a coaching hat, as he has agreed to give swimming lessons to the Baltimore Ravens, the city’s beloved football team.
According to sources close to the team, the Ravens players were seen struggling to stay afloat during a recent team-building exercise at a local pool, with several players reportedly clinging to the side of the pool for dear life.
“We just wanted to try something new and have some fun,” said Lamar Jackson, Ravens quarterback. “But let’s be real, we had no idea we were in over our heads. Literally.”
Enter Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, who has graciously offered to teach the team the ways of the water.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the Ravens,” said Phelps. “I’ve always known that football players are basically just big, strong swimmers without the goggles. I’m excited to help them tap into their inner aquatic beast.”
The team is expected to begin training immediately, with Phelps promising to whip them into shape in no time.
“We’re going to be unstoppable,” said Mark Ingram, Ravens running back. “We’ll be like a school of fish out there, but with more pads and less fins.”
The Ravens have reportedly already started brainstorming new plays, including the “Phelps Special,” a daring maneuver that involves diving underwater to evade defenders.
When asked about the team’s chances in the upcoming water polo season, Phelps was confident. “We’re going to dominate. I mean, have you seen these guys in cleats? They’re basically already aquatic athletes. We’re going to win so many championships, we’ll have to create a whole new trophy case.”
The Ravens’ fans are ecstatic about the news, with many taking to social media to express their excitement.
“This is the best day ever!” tweeted @RavensNation4Life. “Who needs football when you can have water polo with Phelps as our coach?”
The team’s first water polo game is scheduled for next week, with their opponents, the Pittsburgh Steelers, already expressing concerns about the team’s new aquatic abilities.
“It’s going to be a long day,” said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. “Those guys are going to be like a bunch of fish out of water…or should I say, in the water.”
The stage is set for an epic battle of aquatic supremacy. Will the Ravens emerge victorious, or will they sink to the bottom of the pool? Stay tuned to find out!
