It's Saturday---supposed to be my day off. Word of warning...if you see something posted on a weekend here, that means we're fired up. I am here in Philadelphia and supposed to be enjoying myself!
It seems the current fashionable thing to do is to make excuses regarding the Michael Phelps situation. Bottom line: bong=pot. He wasn't smoking Marlboro Lights. Get with it people.
John Meyer of the Denver Post put it best. About a month ago, he wrote a column and said "who cares anymore?" Some people might say "well Maryanne, you are writing about it." No not about him but the people who think it is cool to dance around the subject ("was it pot or wasn't it pot") instead of calling it like it is: a spoiled kid who didn't think the rules applied to him, who in turn has some in the sport community covering for what is clearly illegal actions and saying it's OK on the guise of the question of what was in the bong at the party.
Let's call it what it is folks: pot, weed, marijuana, Mary Jane, whatever. Just don't call Phelps a hero-loser is more like it.
Over and out.
