    Is this the same 'Slade he had given to him by his parents for winning at his first Olympics? I hope so.

    There are few things I hate more than kids who have large, powerful, luxurious cars given to them by their parents. I hate 'em.

    Call it what you will, class resentment, envy, whatever. But the little fuckers don't have to do shit to get what they have, and I've had to bust my ass. They have no perception of what it means to EARN something.

    Well, Phelps might. I understand the training regime for an Olympian can be a little intense.

    But still. Fucked up your car, big shot? Too bad. Leave the Schlitz in the cupholder next time.

    @Elhigh: Wow. Growing up in a developed country automatically puts you in a high percentile of the world's population in terms of privilege. Millions of people work harder than you do but are stuck laboring in farms or sweatshops because the circumstances of their births do not give them opportunities for social mobility.

    @Elhigh: Wow, are you a dick or what?

    That kid is rich enough that he could buy 6 Escalades if he felt like it. And, oh by the way, he did have to bust his ass; you don't win a shit-load of gold medals by being lazy. And not to mention, he does a ton of product endorsements and commercials that keep him pretty well off. His mommy didn't just hand him a big old check and tell him good job.

    Just because you personally can't afford an Escalade doesn't mean you should hate on this kid because he won 14 gold medals and you didn't.

    @ducttape38: Seriously, if it was only 12 or 13 gold medals, I would be ripping on him. 14 is another story.

    Hopefully this Escalade crash is less depressing than when I watched Troy Jackson come down off of an eight ball and twelve Red Bull vodkas.

    Michael Phelps doesn't hate boats. Way to check your sources. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD ONLY READ NEWSPAPERS.

    Jim Rice's number retired at Fenway

    He was further honored with his very own drinking fountain.

    Of course Madden is using Sabotage in its soundtrack. It gave Nathan Wind a 90 rating.

    Those suits had a limited lifespan anyway. The swimmers are wearing them so tight that the seams are splitting left and right. Which, frankly, is kind of awesome.

    Phelps is cool with the decision as long as you don't take away his bicycle horn and bucket of delicious herring.
