Phelps in Trouble?

The story broke here in Baltimore yesterday afternoon. And it's been on the media here ad nauseam all morning until I can repeat the script verbatim. We can debate all day what Aquaqeek and Jpjackson76 have said here as both of them have excellent points. What Michael did was wrong, he's 19 and gonna make stupid mistakes and given his stature, should have know better. Also, he might lose some sponsorships. Given that, plus what it's going to cost him in legal fees here in Maryland (DUI/DWI representation ain't cheap here in Maryland or anywhere else, for that matter), not to mention facing a possible fine and/or possibly up to one year in some correctional facility and/or community service, I would hope that he will learn from this. Also, I would not want to be him to face his Mom and Dad with this. The story here in the Baltimore Sun can be accessed by clicking here. IMHO. P.S. Michael Phelps didn't make himself into a "god," the media and promoters did. Originally posted by jpjackson76 Aquageek I didn't mean to make lite of it, it's a serious crime, and I'd be madder than a old wet hen if my family was injured, or worse, if hit by a drunk driver. What I should have said was making millions and being a gifted athlete doesn't make a person god like. Many people think athletes don't or shouldn't make mistakes, but we know they do. That being said they should be punished like everybody else, but we know different about that too, wouldn't you agree?
