High Times might end up looking something like this when big-time sponsors start to flee, and Phelpsy dives head first onto that ultra-American merry-go-round of the ‘desperate-to-stay-famous’ athlete. (see: Jenner, Bruce)
As we see it, the main problem with the whole Michael Phelps phenomenon is that it keeps extending the time we have to go on pretending we care about swimming.
Maybe Cheech Phelps could grow him out some dreds, hitch a flight to Jamaica and cross-train with Usain Bolt? Kind of a fastest-man/fastest swimmer in history kinda thing? What could they possibly have in common?
