Michael Phelps' middle name is apparently Spicoli

    I'm just amazed it took until he got caught smoking weed for the vast majority of people to think Phelps was a douche.

    The suggestion that he'd face a four-year ban for this by the NEWS of THE WORD(!) is pretty misleading, btw. Marijuana is only on WADA's list of "in-competition" banned narcotics.

    It depends on who you ask, my friend.

    Never said he wasn't a dumbass, given all he has riding on it.. although I still don't think it looks like him in the picture.. but, I still can't get excited about it. I don't care when ANYONE smokes pot, just don't.

    Are you really arguing this after he said it's him?

    Most people don't like Phelps because he forgot the golden rule.... PUFF, PUFF, PASS!

    Given that it's in Vancouver, those rights were snapped up many, many years ago.

    And then he asked Stu Nahan where he got his jacket.

    Nahan, unfortunately, could not properly answer the question as he was unfamiliar with his program's end credits where it said "Stu Nahan's wardrobe is provided by Costco."

    Ditto. The legalization movement gets a major boost. For the record, I don't smoke (weed) and never have.

    The fact that it's not a front-on face shot helps a ton. If he was looking straight into a camera with a happy-pot-man grin, the backlash would be far worse.

    I can't believe he apologized for smoking weed.

    EDIT: I know why, but it isn't like he jumped in a car after a night of drinking....oh wait, I think he already did that.
