Results tagged “Michael Phelps” from Access Hollywood
I know Michael Phelps pretty well, starting in Athens at the '04 games, through Beijing, where I was the only non-poolside journalist from whom he'd take questions after each race. In October, I flew to Baltimore to host the Olympic Heroes Parade in his honor. He has always been the most awesome swimmer. He has not always been the most popular guy. That is new for Michael because now, he is. I think he'd rather just fit in and be like everyone else... no chance, Mike.
He smoked some pot at a party and someone took a photo. A tabloid from another country, perhaps eager to knock a symbol of American greatness, published it.
Other cool, rap-listening, video game and poker-playing dudes have looser rules to live by. Michael has big-time sponsors relying on his All-Americanism. Imagine his team of handlers, agents and his MOM hunkering down in lead agent Peter Carlisle's office at The Octagon Sports Agency freaking out about which sponsors might bail. It's got to be happening.
