Due to the lengthy discussions about the Phelps situation, let's make this one short and sweet!
What's your opinion?
1. Don't give a ****.
2. Phelps is just another kid... kids do stupid things.
3. Phelps should learn from this and speak to kids about drunk driving.
4. Phelps should be prosected to the fullest extent and lose sponsorships.
5. Undecided.

That's too bad to hear about Phelps being cocky and having sober passengers. He always seemed so down to earth, on the other hand when you're 19 and all of sudden achieve a huge level of fame some it is bound to go to your head....Tiger Woods did the same thing (tried to buy a drink and when the bartender said no asked if he knew who he was). Unfortunately it takes a bad event to really humble someone and make them realize they are just like everyone else; that just because they have name recognition doesn't make them above the law. As for his passengers being sober, he should have let them drive or one of them should have stepped up and taken the keys from him. It will be interesting to see what happens with his trial.
