An Open Letter to Michael Phelps

You know, your lawyers could have given any number of professional athletes a call when you signed all those endorsement deals. They have "handlers" that keep them out of situations like this.

I'm just guessin'...but having pictures like this get out ain't the way to keep up on your house payments.

I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

"Mom?? I wanna come home! You rented out my room?!? Mom, to whom?!"
