Michael Phelps is SI’s Sportsman of the Year
Not surprisingly, swimming champ Michael Phelps has been named “Sportsman of the Year” by Sports Illustrated.
In the mag’s article, unfortunately, there’s no mention of his girlfriend Caroline Pal. But here’s how the piece closes:
“By championing the cause of water safety Phelps could save many lives, and the trajectory of others will be changed merely by his inspirational example. In 2012, when we are deep into another presidential election and facing challenges that have yet to reveal themselves, Phelps will once again unite a nation. He does not swim alone. He swims for all of us.”

sheesh, dumb photo–it’s insulting to phelps the olympian. and SI should have realized they’ll sell more copies if the was shirtless. i’d hate to see out-takes if this is the best of the bunch…
The amount of mean people in this world will never cease to amaze me. How rotten of people to make such nasty comments. He just SMASHED Olympic records and won THE MOST gold medals of anyone, ever. And we were all fortunate enough to have seen history being made, LIVE. And people comment mostly on his looks. What a bunch of jerks. Karma is a wonderful thing!!! (I hope Michael’s Mom doesn’t read this site)
Ugly bob, why are you are so hideously ugly?
How can you say such a thing?
Because your god damn ugly!
Butterface!!

He looks like Angelina Jolie.
See kids, even inbreds can land magazine covers.

It’s not even an Angelna thread but it seems you never forget to mention her in every thread. That’s the power of Angelian .
Angelina Jolie owe you ! bitxh.
The cover was shot underwater…He’s not a model people he’s an athlete…look in the mirror.
Unfortunately this kid’s face isn’t photogenic but if they’re trying to sell him as ‘hot guy’ (as in ’sexy’) they sure need to pump up their photoshopping efforts. Yes, he’s a great athlete but ‘hot ?’ Puh-lease!
Swimmers have BY FAR the hottest bodies. It was my motivation for getting in shape. I encourage all guys to get pictures of guys like Phelps and stick them up as your own motivation.
I used a program (www.TheSwimmersBody.com) which helped me to focus. I’m sure there are other programs out there too, you just need to think about what it is you really want to achieve, and think how much work you are willing to put in.
I wish all men had swimmers bodies like this!
