02.05.09 PHELPS MIGHT (PUFF, PUFF) PASS ON 2012 GAMES
The whole “backlash” from the “ordeal” of Michael Phelps’ being photographed with a bong has the 14-time Olympic gold medalist wondering aloud if his days in the public eye might be over. Phelps told The Baltimore Sun that he’s even considering staying out of the pool for the London Olympics in 2012.
“This is a decision of mine that I’m not going to make today and I’m not going to make tomorrow,” Phelps said. “It’s going to require a lot of time and energy and a lot of thinking for myself – but also talking to [coach] Bob [Bowman] and talking to my family and just deciding what I want to do.
“Yeah, there are still goals that I have in the pool, 100 percent. But I’m not going to let anything stand in my way. If I decide to walk away, I’ll decide to walk away on my own terms. If it’s now, if it’s four years, who knows. But it is something I need to think about and decide what I want to do.”
Uhhh, let’s do the math here, Mister Ed. You still want watch and cell phone endorsements? You still want to be treated like royalty everywhere you go? You still want free pot? Then you get your ass back in that pool. Because you’re just another guy in purple camo pants otherwise. You can retire when you’re, you know, 27. Retired at 27? God, I hate you Michael Phelps. Can you get me a free watch?

I wonder if his teammates in the 4×100 relay ever yelled at him for fucking up the rotation.
Coming tomorrow: Phelps kills homeless man, swims with red ribbon around his wrist.
/thinks

/laughs, coughing out smoke
“Whoa…BREASTSTROKE! I just got that!!!”
/hits bong again
I wonder if he uses chlorinated bong water.
He’ll be now working on his high dive.
He looks like one of those faggy white smokers that believe Bob Marley is the greatest artist ever and his music resonates within them. Idiots.
The only reason he endorsed that product is because he thought they were saying Rosetta Stoned.
Does High Times do a Sportsman of the Month award? Nonetheless, he can join all the other retired Olympians fighting for jobs in offloading at Home Depot.
great googily moogily. isnt phelps 15 minutes about over yet?
@Enrico – I am so glad that someone besides me thinks that Bob Marley and his music suck donkey dongs. Dude couldnt sing and his music was repetitive. He is kind of like the black Bob Dylan.
Phelps is now concentrating on his main goal for the 2012 Olympics- creating the world’s largest water bong.
Smoke em if you got em!
