chessmonster Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) CHeck out Micheal Phelp's blingy watch in this notorious photo. Any guesses on what it is? I was thinking it could be diamond bezeled Brietling... One thing for sure i would guess...bet its not a rep. According to his sponsors..he is suppose to wear an omega seamaster watch..but this doesnt look like one to me...maybe he can get in trouble with his sponsors on top of everything..can you imagine if he happens to be wearing a competitors watch to omega?

TacticalMik Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 According to his sponsors..he is suppose to wear an omega seamaster watch..but this doesnt look like one to me...maybe he can get in trouble with his sponsors on top of everything..can you imagine if he happens to be wearing a competitors watch to omega? He is going to have issues with his sponsor whatever watch he is wearing. My guess would be that he has a clause in his contract pertaining to appearances of impropriety or something like that. Again, this is only a guess, but I would bet that Omega is already in the process of "re-negotiating" his contract. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The Report today gave me a Rolling Laugh !! And an Ahhhhrighhhht .. for once the media has run into a wall.. OCC's statement: "It's not on our Banned Substance list" .. Seriously that is their stance. Omega states: (Not verbatum) ... "We are here to support Michael" something of that nature.. The first thought that entered my mind yesterday was: .. "Skin the MOFO who released the image !! RAT.... how much did the person sell it for ?? RAT!! Then I heard a clip of someone saying he should pay financially with his endorsements.. because if it were a normal person, yada , yada... well, first of all if it were a normal person, this would not be news... MP has apologized and stated that he regrets his agtions as a "Bad Choice" ,.. nuff for me.. Being that he was in EU and their laws are not as stringent regarding "Pakalolo" (buds, weed) .... anyway.. I like the fact that everyone is backing him ,.. and his legacy and future is not destroyed and run through the mud because one made choice... (I think we've all made more than one "mistake") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 All joking aside, I don't have a problem with him smoking pot. He has trained like a madman for so many years, he is the best at his sport, give the man a break! God knows I have smoked enough pot to kill a horse and I ride a desk five days a week.

Fidestro Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Actually lani, the word in the press is that the photo was taken in South Carolina and that the South Carolina police were investigating. You know, because all of the murders, rapes, robberies, and all other crime in South Carolina has been solved, they have plenty of time for this. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/02/03/sherif...uana/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ma Bad... sorry, for the erroneous post.. the story came out of UK.. Speedo is out of Nottingham .. and ESPN reported the IOC..statement .. that could of been a ... behind closed doors statement but here is the full article.. MANCHESTER, England -- The International Olympic Committee and two of Michael Phelps' leading sponsors expressed support for the Olympic great Monday, a day after he apologized for being photographed in a British newspaper inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Revealing The British tabloid News of the World published a photo and story Saturday showing Michael Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe nearly three months after the swimmer wrapped up a record haul of eight gold medals in Beijing.

lanikai Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I don't mean to be "insensitive" to the issue.. but growing up in Hawaii.. it was more normal to have a "patch" in the back as it would be to have a bar on the Lanai .. it has always been a part of the island lifestyle .. at Concerts you didn't know the person next to you but Pakalolo etiquette was to "pass the pakalolo" Those were easier times.. surf and buds ... times have changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
