In his official headshot ahead of the London Olympics, Towson's own Michael Phelps looks like he just spent a few weeks competing on "Survivor."
This scraggly-bearded, bed-headed shot is the picture on his official Olympics profile, which lists his height, weight, Olympics record, hobbies ("playing video games, watching television"), rituals and other trivia.
It will be the clean-shaven Michael Phelps, not the Nick Nolte version, who takes to the pool on Saturday for his first events in London.
As Deadspin noted earlier this month, Phelps has taken worse photos.
How about this Tyler, the guy is a world class swimmer who won 8 gold medals in his respective field, and has amassed 16 olympic medals overall. He's probably a millionaire, and lives his life by his terms. Frankly, i don't think it matters what he looks like. You're Nick Nolte reference is also borderline slanderous, because you're referencing Nick Nolte's mugshots from his drug and alcohol arrests, as it relates to Mr. Phelps picture which you published in your article. Again, i find this article completely classless. I find it in extremely poor taste that you write and publish an article about someones looks, let alone a local guy who could potentially make olympic history. I can't believe Patch let's you write and then publish stuff like this.
Looks like Tyler here has a man crush - or maybe his woman does and he's just jealous of him?
