Its kinda' sad when people denegrate the man himself instead of the media for their (sometimes) over-the-top coverage.
Phelps is a great athlete, at the top of his game - best in the world. He didn't ask the media to make him the poster child for success and accomplishment.
To those who say he'll be forgotten shortly after the Olympics end...that's just ridiculous. Have we forgotten summer Olympians like Jesse Owens, Mark Spitz, Nadia Comaneci, Kurt Thomas, Olga Korbut, Donovan Bailey and Carl Lewis...to name just a few.
