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!
Actually, I'm quite serious. The article appeared in Men's Journal. ... I'm not advocating one way or another.

Not laughing at the article, just my warped mind placing it in context of this whole episode...
Picture Phelps pulling a hit at this college party... and then he says to his friends "No, seriously! I need to do this to reduce my inflamation!"

True. At his age, he should recover quickly enough. It's just in this day and age... I just assume everyone has a camera on their phone. And especially if you're a celebrity of any sort, anything you do will be recorded. It's a brave new world!

The funniest I heard, was the Teenager was complaining to his mom about getting caught for smoking Pot. "But, Mom, Michael Phelps smoked pot." And the mom said, "When you win 8 gold medals, you can smoke pot too, but not until then."
