Did anyone else catch Phelps on the Today show this morning? I thought he handled himself quite well - especially as he is already not the greatest public speaker and interviewee in the world! I had to agree with his assessment of the DUI and the latest issue being very different. It's a huge difference when you are endangering the lives of others (by being on the road) versus doing something that though illegal, in and of itself has no impact on the health and safety of others around him.
Good to see him out by the pool, and look forward to seeing him dominate in Rome this summer!
Who cares what Phelps does outside the pool. It is interesting to watch him swim if you are a swim fan or simply like to watch people compete at high levels, but he gave up his life (so far) to entertain people and make his country seem "cool". The Olympics is all about countries saying "Look how awesome we are. We are a world power because we can waste our resources on making people swim in a pool really fast. We don't have to spend our money and time to produce food and make shelter. We are doing so well we can just give it to people to play sports".
And who is that loser who took the picture of Phelps? Probably the same type of person with no life who is wasting their time (and now mine) reporting "news" about Phelps.
