The End of Phelps As a Pitchman?
 
http://sports.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090201.wsptphelps1/GSStory/GlobeSportsOther/home

A British paper has published a picture of Phelps allegedly using a bong.

If this is true he is an idiot. World's most expensive toke.

:rolleyes:

Looks like Phelps is living out all those repressed teenage angst and party years.

Why is the byline location Tampa? Is he bonging at the Super Bowl?

SlowToady 02-01-2009 08:42 AM

He should just blow some rails like our beloved Mess...er, President.

Red Baron 02-01-2009 08:44 AM

He can now pitch for Storz-Bickel...

TheMentat 02-01-2009 08:49 AM

Wow... expensive toke indeed!

With his lung capacity, I'll bet he could destroy bowls with that bong!

I wanna be like mike!

Back in the day, I could clear a five-footer.

I personally see no problem with this whatsoever. I know some snowboarder got his Olympic medal rescinded a few years ago because he tested positive for THC. (Performance enhancing my @$$! I can tell you first hand it will cut down your lung capacity in short order.)

Have we reached a crossroads?

What I mean is this: is America finally to the point where we can accept that our national hero likes to kick back and toke up? We sure don't mind when they drink. I hope we have finally gotten to that point. I for one wouldn't mind kicking back with a joint, like I used to do in college. I haven't touched the stuff since college because the legal and career risks are too great at this point, but if it were legal, I'd be lighting up that day.

LOL, when I was a freshman at Cal, I asked the clerk at a shop "How much is that bong?" and was hit with that firm rebuke.

I'm sure many athletes and celebrities do it but have been more careful about not getting on camera.

It wont end his commerical career... heck snoopdog gets commercials.

He just has to be more discreet next time. Lots of celebs smoke. If all of them were photographed doing it at frat parties, we would be shocked to see who they all are. Even Maryanne from Gilligans Island tokes.

:eek: ;)


As a straight guy though....This is a bad pose to be caught in as photshop opps are too easy.

I must say, his form is very good:) Must carry over from his swimming.

Look at that...Shoulders are set nice and straight, back is straight, head slightly down, chest out, eyes on the pipe.

Take it to the dome Mike!

widgeon13 02-01-2009 02:14 PM

Hell, he's far from being done. The public loves a fallen angel, remember the guy that got the BJ in the oval office!:eek:

Vipergrün 02-01-2009 02:35 PM

IMHO, we are wayyyyy to uptight over pot and boobs......

Palum6o 02-01-2009 03:26 PM

All he has to do is say he didn't inhale.

Oh Haha 02-01-2009 03:26 PM

I am not an advocate for smoking dope but I don't think this is a big deal for him.

Sure, it's illegal but no one can prove what is in the water pipe. Now, since he admitted to smoking it, can he be prosecuted?

I am not a fan of the Olympics so I could care less how this affects him. I don't see him sitting on the couch eating Doritos and Mt. Dew for the next 20 years.

Vipergrün 02-01-2009 03:37 PM

Didn't the "Dood you shoulda bought a Dell" guy get canned for sparking up?

I dunno, is it really *that* bad?

It is banned because it has been deemed to reduce fear and inhibition in dangerous activities. Like snow-boarding.
