This'll be a quick one, let's talk Michael Phelps here. He got caught doing a stupid thing, he's a role model and he shouldn't have done it. However, I would like to point out that the guy manned up and took a little responsibility for his actions. We hear so many times these days, "I didn't do that" or "I didn't know what it was". For me, it was great to hear him stand up and take a little responsibility for his actions. I'm not saying it was a good idea or that he's just a kid, that's what kids will do, I'm saying that Phelps took it like a man. He didn't pull a Barry or Roger and claim that he didn't do it. He didn't avoid the topic like Mark McGuire. He stood up said, I made a stupid mistake, I'm sorry, and I'll never do it again. I think he deserves a break from all this criticism. But if he gets in trouble again, it won't be pretty.
