Phelps in Trouble?

Just out of cursiosity - what do you think Phelps was apologizing for? Do you really think he was apologizing for running the stop light, dude? As Geochuck pointed out in a prior message ....He could have been apologizing about the stop sign....but I think he could have been apologizing for the entire thing (as a whole innocent or guilty)...He is embarrassed for bringing such bad publicity to his name (and to swimming in general)....so maybe he is apologizing for that too?....and if he is guilty of drinking and driving (which he very well may be)....then he could also be apologizing for that....How can you say for sure you know exactly what he is apologizing for?....We don't even know whether or not he actually did run the stop sign yet....It hasn't gone to court yet....I have been guilty of running stop signs too....I didn't come to a "complete stop" and I paid a traffic fine for it....I call that a mistake (a misdemeanor offense according to the law)....That does NOT make me a criminal....You stated that Phelps didn't commit a mistake, he committed a crime (as in he is a criminal)....Maybe so?? Right now no one really knows....Do you now see the point? Remember the scripture reference I made....Are your eyes totally clear of all crimes against humanity? Please think about it b/c I think that was the point of hooked on swimming's message...and I for one thought it was an excellent point.....By the way, Why am I now mowing you down on the TN highways drunker than a skunk??....That sure came out of nowhere....Since I want the facts before I jump to any conclusions I'm now a raving drunk maniac?? Also...Sorry if I broke the rules about using old cliches like "how much have you been smoking?"....It just seemed to fit and so I went with it....I didn't realize you would get your panties in a wod over it...(wait that's a lie...yaeh I guess I did know that....I'm such a jerk sometimes!) newmastersswimmer
