Why's Everybody Hatin' on Michael Phelps?Granted, much of my so-called research on this has been based on the musings of those in my extended social circle, but I think their comments speak to a larger strain of thought in Americana."He's got a chip on his shoulder."

Tiger Woods can't win the US Open with one hand tied behind his back. But he *can* win while playing on one leg. So we knew that his leg was hurt. We knew he'd just had surgery on the thing and he didn't play a full practice round before the Open because of the pain. [read more...] Fresh Sports Content
