Sadly enough that is the state of our world nowadays. Some guy spends 20 years of his life becoming the best swimmer to ever exist then some booger eating idiot with a camera gets to trivialize it.
Way to go booger eating idiot your skills are recognized here. I won't shake your hand but...well...you know.

Somehow, I bet 8 gold medals takes some of the sting off of this for Mr. Phelps. The guy has received every accolade possible.

You can't have it both ways, do we make this guy a clown and take money from his pockets or do we leave him alone and let him make the money he deserves for spending 20 years of his life working hard.
You seem to want to make him a clown and then say it's not personal. Only he can say it is not personal.

?????? Maybe the video editor was poking fun at NBC and Phelps was merely the vehicle to do that.......or did someone piss in your Wheeties this morning because DAMMMMMMMMMn you are sounding like me.
I'm not trying to make him a clown at all. The guy was picked on his entire life and overcame all that to become, arguably, the best Olympian ever. If ever anyone could say "in your face", it's Michael Phelps though he was gracious enough not to say that to anyone.

I just want to see the guy make the jack for busting his ass. When he becomes a Vehicle for comedy it takes cash out of his pocket because lots of people get their opinions from NBC. I don't know why.
I just want to see the guy make some cash.
And if you have to know I will piss in my own Wheaties if no one else does. You get your angst where you find it.
Chill out, chippy baby, have a drink or six. No one takes this seriously--why so serious?
Because I was reading something on Mark Spitz the otherday I found out that he made almost nothing off of his medals. I just want them to make as much as they can before the new rubs off of them.

Two totally different eras. Back then, there was little commercialization compared to now. Spitz DID get screwed, but so did all the other gold medalists.
If you want to make an issue out of the state sports is in now, take umbrage with what the pro baseball players are getting. Do they deserve 5 million a year or more when they aren't producing? Hell, no, but they get it anyway.
In any event, I'm sure Phelps'll get his coin and then some.

I am just wrong and I admited that but you are stupid and you can't fix that. Your age is clearly listed and if you change it then the mods will need to know you are falsifying your information. Have a good one.

Doh! I wanted to see if he figured out how I knew he was 23.
Oh well., I'm sure I can find another unsuspecting victim later.
