UT G, DO NOT be sorry for writing Phelps on yours. There is SO much Phelps hate going around that it's really nice to find someone who actually fancies him. Can't we all just get along? Oh, I'm such a hippie.
Anyway, I'll fill mine out later...

Meredith, at 12/31/2005 12:54 PM
I'm with you Meredith. I think the media builds someone up to be a superstar and then looks for opportunities to knock them down. Now I know that Michael Phelps was not innocent in his rise to fame, he was a very active part of it. But the way the media has gone after him calling 2005 a failure for him is totally rediculous. I also think it is odd how people think they can't really admire two people who do the same thing. Michael is not a cheat. He works hard. He may not be the best with some of his fans lately, and he made a few judgement errors, but he is a great swimmer. I just wish that more swimmers would get the kind of overage that that kid gets. That is one of the things I really love about Australian media. They respect all of their elite swimmers. Some more than others but people know who they are. Now it sounds like Mikey is my fave celebrity. He isn't my very fave (top 20), but I don't get the hate either.
