1. Dave, can you please slow your roll just slightly! I appreciate your enthusiasm but damn, it's like IDLYITW gets serious ADHD on weekends. I like to savor the posts & the comments a little bit. Am I alone in this or does anyone else agree?
   Also- I don't believe you have the natural ability like Todd, but you are progressing.

2. Do we all understand why he consumes all those daily calories now? MUNCHIES!!
   
   Phelps should be able to blow off some steam. I don't think he should have apologized.

   If you whiny fucks don't like the way things are done here then go somewhere else. This fucking complaining is getting old. Get the fuck over it already.

8. So what? He hits the bong, how is this news worthy? It obviously isn't hindering his swimming ability.

   By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 08:16:59

9. WOOT! WOOT!
   
   Toke it up, brahtovski!

10. I think it's time the law differentiated between pot and serious drugs like crack or meth. I don't think there is anything wrong with some pot on occasion and basically see it as a beer or a drink. This is also his personal issue and I don't think he should have apologized. Especially to his fans? What business is it of anyone? Clinton was a pothead and he was a president. Bush was into coke and he was a president. Not saying drugs are good or anything, but there is an overreaction to this sort of thing. The way I see it, Mike smoked some pot, had a few laughs, ate a pile of food, and went to sleep. Good for him.

11. The guy trains day in and day out to win 8 golds and people give him shit for smoking a little weed? Fuck off.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 08:36:36

12. Michael should immediately STOP...
    
    
    going to parties with assholes who take his picture and sell it to the tabloids.

13. I hope he passed it to the left hand side.

16. This is so funny! I hate Michael Phelps! Although now, I have a little more respect for this fugly idiot!

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 10:52:42

17. Who cares about a joint? He cheated his way to tons of medals, turning into a mutant with his steroid abuse. He should apologize for that! But so shoul Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, probably the Super Bowl MVP later tonight....

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 11:07:27

18. TAKE ALL HIS MEDALS HE IS A DISGRACE LOW LIFE DRUG ADDICT ,THE STUPID OLYMPICS PEOPLE SHOULD DO THAT IF THEY DON'T THEY ARE TELLING THE STUPID KIDS THAT BEING A DRUG ADDICT IS OK ,DAMN UGLY BASTARD

20. Seriously the guy should be able to do whatever the fuck he wants.

21. Wow! #5 needs either a good suck job or a sedative. Chillax!

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 12:22:48

22. He's acted like a tool ever since the Olympics. Still, this is a lot more respectable than going on SNL.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 12:36:32

23. Wow shocking, not really, everyone smokes weed.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 12:53:03

24. He looks like a natural pole smoker.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 13:19:57

25. 18,
    
    He's smoking a plant.
    Calm down on your own, or go smoke a plant yourself.
    
    Or simply put down your beer.
    Your rant has all the hallmarks of a drunken diatribe.
    
    I smoke pot.
    I don't drink.
    
    I'd sooner hang out with 100 happy-stoned Michael Phelps than even 3 irritably-drunk hockey players. Yep....
    
    Marijuana is a plant that has been enjoyed across the globe for centuries and centuries.
    
    80 years of 'American Global Moral Police' doesn't persuade me to put down the bong and grab a glass of rotting, fermented organic matter (ie: booze)....

26. :( I was hoping for pictures of his scantily clad body poolside, not that Teresa person.

    Dude. I hope you're high.

    By Wench., on February 1, 2009 15:17:46

30. he's just a typical american college-meathead-jock, the fuck did people expect?
    You just know he's an asshole in real daytoday life.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 15:42:02

31. I'd get high everyday too if I looked Big Bird and spent the last 3 years dog paddling in a chlorine filled swimming pool...
    
    

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 16:27:54

32. Actually, the problem here is that apparently the Olympics have a rule that you can't be caught doing stuff like this within 4 years.
    
    I don't know what the penalty would be. I certainly hope they don't take away his medals for it. That would be a crock of shit.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 16:44:42

33. WHO CARES IF HE SMOKES? HE MUST SAY HE IS SORRY TO KEEP HIS ENDORSEMENTS.DAVE WHO EVER YOU ARE YOU ARE FUNNY...AND IM SO FNING UP SET THE CARDS DID NOT WIN 2 NITE.i HATE THE FING STEELERS THEY CAN KISS MY ASS AND ROT IN HELLLLLLLLL.

34. oh great. another fucking todd who seems to not realize that girls read this blog too and get sick of seeing fucking chicks at the end of every post. oh, that's right, little fagboy orlando's pics were posted. i guess we're set for another six months, then.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 18:38:04

35. #1...you asshole. i read your comment, thinking there's gonna be like 12 posts, and find 3. THREE! you're crying about three fucking posts overwhelming your dumb ass?!?!?!?!?

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 18:40:00

36. Okay so Michael Phelps is actually a REAL PERSON ... with faults ... just like the rest of us. Give the guy a break. This does NOT diminish his Olympic achievements in the least. Fock all the haters!

38. Dear #1 & friends,
    
    STFU, already. Thanks!

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 20:18:19

39. Teresa looks like a decent slut.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 20:34:13

40. #18, the kooks in the world crack me up, a drug addict because he smoked off a bong, really?
    You really believe smoking a little weed is the sams as being an addict?
    I will agree with the he is ugly but there is nothing wrong with a little weed.

    By anonymous, on February 1, 2009 23:34:21

    What do you think beer is made from? Yes. Plants. Dumb fuck.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 01:09:58

42. #25, exactly! For fuck's sake.
    
    I mean, I do drink, but I'd rather be around stoned people than drunk ones! Stoned people are laughing and relaxed and PEACEFUL, drunk people often become violent. And yes, smoking a plant that people have smoked for centuries to relax is HARDLY the same as crack or heroin or any of that shit. Our messed up world confuses me.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 02:28:09

43. 41, you're dumb. joejoe calls beer "organic matter," so I'm sure he's aware it's made from plants. The point is, beer is perfectly legal even though it often makes people violent and angry, whereas pot is not legal even though it generally makes people relaxed and happy. (And yes, I know, lots of people get relaxed and happy from drinking.)
    
    I'm with joejoe, if you're going to let people drink, let them smoke pot! And I wish people would stop referring to pot smokers as "drug addicts," that's absurd.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 03:18:58

44. He still looks like "Tiny" from "House of 1000 Corpses."

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 03:25:41

45. It's weed for God's sakes.
    
    At least he's not leaving his pregnant girlfriend to date some tranny Victoria's Secret model.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 03:40:18

46. This is a junkie.
    F**ck Phelps.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 03:43:27

47. #10 I'll go a step further. Alcohol is the true gateway drug, not pot and another extensive study by a UCLA professer shows zero links between cancer and pot or brain cell loss from smoking pot. In fact it shows healing power in cancer cases.
    Again people its not legal because the drug companys and the lumber industry would loose alot of money and those special interest groups fund the politicians.
    The people in state after state have decided to let people sit on the couch and fall asleep after a bong load, rather than having people drink and drive and kill or get into fights. The more you drink the drunker you become, the more you smoke the better ice cream tastes before you pass out. Why is this illigal? Why do we let industry control our rights?

    By Bob Marley, on February 2, 2009 04:08:02

48. I didn't know smoking the least addictive and least lethal drug was still a big deal.
    
    Shit, smoking a bowl isn't as unhealthy as smoking a cigarette.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 05:00:08

49. big deal! it's not like there are pictures of him shooting up black tar heroin

    By nikki, on February 2, 2009 06:31:31

50. #41: sure pot comes from a plant. So does cocaine. And heroine. in fact, tobacco is also a plant. Not really a good point.
    
    A better point is that it's not physically addictive as are coke, heroine, cigs, and of course alcohol.
    
    

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 06:38:16

51. #46 He's a junkie for smoking weed? Wow, you're ignorant.

53. To the couple of people who are comparing weed to beer/coke/heroin on the basis of 'plants'....
    
    I can walk out to a field with scissors, clip a bud, and smoke a joint after the bud dries out.
    
    Show me a plant that produces beer....
    If there a naturally occurring pond of beer somewhere in the German countryside??
    Show me a plant with pods of cocaine.
    
    Thanks for any informative, fact-based responses. ;)

54. Hey #35, I believe #1's comment mentioned the "weekend". I went back and checked myself and sure enough it was a total of 8 posts. Who is the asshole now? #1 was being polite and just asking a question. You, however have to act like a total jackass about it.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 07:58:37

55. He will do it again,,, and again, and again, you see where this is going.

    By Moreaces, on February 2, 2009 09:31:58

56. I am waiting for one of his girlfriends to have their sex tape "stolen", and be purchased by a porn outfit.
    Actually, I wouldn't watch it. Too many breast strokes in it I would think.

    By Morgan, on February 2, 2009 11:48:44

57. I'd like to see Phelps doing mass bong hits for Jesus, slamming kamakaze shots, eating like a pig, and then watch him dive into a pool and drown.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 19:08:08

58. 34, agreed.

    By anonymous, on February 2, 2009 20:02:28

59. It's getting to be pretty sad where you can't go anywhere to be a normal person & act a little crazy without someone taking a picture of yourself & posting it on the web. At home, in a bar, anywhere. The kid did not went into a club with a gun? No. Did train pit-bulls to fight? No. Did he take steroids while winning 8 gold medals? As far as we know, He didn't. WE, Society, put the role model for kids stamp on him for the athlete that he is. As soon as he screws up, now we crucify him. People! He's just a regular guy that can do one thing better than most people, swim. No child should have to give up on a dream just because their "role model" didn't live up to their or yours expectation. If a child can't find a role model with their own parents, then whwt does that say about the parents. Bottom line. He smoked weed. Big Deal! I heard worse. When he gets older, he'll probably do more stupid stuff. He's a normal person. He's paid to sell a product(s), or service(s). Not to raise your children. Get off your lazy judging asses & do it yourself!!

60. No matter how all of you "pro-pot" people try to spin your agenda:
    
    Weed is a drug.
    Drugs are illegal.
    Possession of drugs is a crime.
    Phelps is a criminal.
    
    You can try to justify it and make all the excuses you want, but at the end of the day, the law does not say "drugs are illegal, except for pot."

    By anonymous, on February 3, 2009 15:24:00

61. HA the cops are looking for him now they are going to arrest his ugly ass good he needs to learn a lesson stupid frankenstein looking bastard

    By anonymous, on February 3, 2009 17:03:33

62. For all those peeps against pot.. Google why pot is illegal and become educated.. Based not in science but because if immigration problems and a whole lot more.. Read up and don't b a bunch of closed minded brainwashed retards.
    
    Btw peeps can b addicted to anything. Google that word too.. Taking a drink or smoking doesn't make you an adict.. Coke is still used medically.

    By anonymous, on February 4, 2009 18:00:04
