Deep Thoughts, by Michael Phelps
From his interview with NBC:
I mean, we all know what, you know, what you and I are talking about. It’s a stupid mistake. You know, bad judgment. And it’s something that, you know, I have to, and I want to teach other people not to make that mistake. … So, you know, the contract side [...]

Bolt is int’l press’ athlete of the year
While most Americans have been fawning over Michael Phelps since the Olympics, the International Sports Press Association has named Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt their Athlete of the Year. Phelps finished second. Both athletes had tremendous years, but I would have personally given it to Bolt as well. His world-record sprint in Beijing in the 100-meter [...]
Michael Phelps, couch potato
In an interesting article on how Michael Phelps came to endorse the protein drink of a Texas start-up company, the Wall Street Journal tells us that Phelps has let himself go since winning eight golds in Beijing.

I’m not a big Michael Phelps fan, but even I would agree 100% with this selection.
