Free Michael Phelps!

phelps_516_0102_25518a

Olympic hero and massive dork Michael Phelps has been suspended from competitive swimming for three months and stripped of his Kellogg’s endorsement because he was caught on camera beating up his girlfriend.  No wait, it was because he pulled a gun on someone in a strip club. Damn, that’s not it either! DWI? Naaah. He’s actually being punished because he was caught smoking pot.

This is ri-fucking-diculous. Not to mention hypocritical. Does Kellogg’s have ANY idea how much money they make off stoners with the munchies? The number probably can’t be calculated, but I’d bet it’s ginormous just off Pop-Tarts alone. Way to piss off a huge segment of your customer base during a recession, Kellogg’s! Hopefully Tony the Tiger pulls Snap, Krackle and Pop out of his ass someday and lightens the fuck up.

I was sure this story would blow over quickly, but here we are five days later and it’s still all over the news. C’mon people – it’s not like anyone gives a shit about swimming anyway! Don’t pretend like you do.

Is anyone really bothered by the fact that Phelps drank beer and did some bong hits while on a trip to the University of South Carolina to score with some hot sorority cooze? Probably not. You know who SHOULD be outraged? The asshole narc who snapped that photo, because you just know Phelps cashed that shit in one hit. The dude’s got nearly superhuman lung capacity! Definitely one guy I’d never want to smoke with.

And for all the hand-wringing pussies out there claiming to care about this b.s. scandal, take note that the photo was taken months BEFORE Phelps’ Olympic heroics, proving that he didn’t do any damage to his body by smoking the evil weed. So what’s the big fucking deal?

February

February is the deep dark month for sports fans.   Football is over.  Basketball and hockey are mired in meaningless regular season games.  As Hernandez pointed out, Knicks fans were cheering for Kobe Bryant on Monday when he threw in 60+, and they repeated the favor on Wednesday when LeBron put up a 50-point triple-double, which hasn’t been done in the NBA since 1975, I read.  And baseball is two months away, unless you count spring training, but the guys who follow spring training tend to have the same personalities as paparrazzi and kiddie-porn enthusiasts.  Our best hope is March Madness, which is still five weeks away.  My English Football team Liverpool just lost their captain and best player Steven Gerrard to injury for the next three weeks.

So what do sports fans do to get through the winter?   I mean besides drink, cut a hole in our TonTons with our lightsaber and masturbate to pictures of professional female tennis players?
