Phelps olympic medals---

I know I made some negative Phelps comments and joked about too many hits on the bong but credit should be given when due, I cannot imagine how hard it would be to train and stay focused to compete with the best in the world, especially after he had nothing to prove after 4 years ago, he will, and should go down as one of, if not the best ever in his field!
 
His comments should be..."If you think this is so easy, YOU should try it."

He's on that pedestal that we all want to knock him off of...that's the basis of it.

Haven't you heard? He didn't earn those medals...he had help along the way there are after all lots of good swimmers out there. :roll

I get what you are saying and find it true 99% of the time. I think we treat our Olympic athletes differently, however. I can't recall the populous trying to tear one down. OK, maybe Jenner since he is part of that whole Kardashian crap pile but that's it.

Phelps always seems like an ass to me but I can still appreciate his accomplishments.

That is kind of my thoughts (arrogant also) but I still have to admit he is among the greatest in ability, maybe not in personality.
 
LOL
