I don't know if this makes me "un-American" or anything, but Michael Phelps is someone I just can't stand. The guy is too goofy IMO to be considered a great athlete. Sure he won "the most gold medals in a single Olympics", not taking that away, but anyone come to think that swimmers get like 10 chances to win medals, whereas every other sport gets like....hmmm IDK.... ONE. The guy is 6'4 200 lanky pounds, eats like garbage, has a stupid shit-eating grin everytime you see him, whores himself to every advertisement that comes his way, can't act for shit yet finds his goofy ass on Saturday Night Live in which I am embarrassed FOR HIM. I mean they ask him to play the easiest roles on the show like that of an Olympic SWIMMER and he can't even convince me there.
I just really don't like this guy in case you haven't figured out, nothing personal against him. Don't know how I feel about him smoking pot, but there was that snowboarder that was stripped of his medal a few years back for testing positive for pot.....

Its sports in 10-20 years time results won't matter.
Like Australia's Top 100 people 75% of the were sports icons. Of the 100 people listed I agreed with 2. Victor Chang and Fred Hollows. You can write all the prentious poetry you want and captain australia's cricket team for decades you will not amount to a revolutionary heart surgeon and a guy who spent most of his life restoring the sight of the visually impaired in 3rd world countries.
Canada's top 100 was alot more respectable as it was dominated by politicians, war heroes and learned minds.
Although I personally would have kicked out Avril Lavinge and put in James Doohan. Not denying Avril's talent but really 10 years ago she would not have made the list ten years from now she won't make the list. She wrote some songs about being a teenage girl...woot. James Doohan, as much as I don't like the original Star Trek, was a decorated war hero from WW2, a celebrated actor and inspired generations of people to pursue degrees in engineering.
I thinking the only athelete in the Canadian top 100 on sporting accomplishments alone was Donovan Bailey. I would agree with him being there as he also allowed Canada to get past the stigma of the Ben Johnson scandal.

It just disgusts me how hell bent people are about pot, when they should be feeling that way towards meth, crack, coke, and heroin!
