Yesterday, I said, "I was going to post on the nine-year-old pitcher who was kicked out of Little League and his winning team disbanded - solely because the boy throws a fast ball; however, the new Sports Illustrated cover of Michael Phelps caught my eye. After a second of confusion, I realized what bothered me about the photo: Michael Phelps isn't wearing any britches. In fact, the only thing he is wearing is his new collection of gold medals. Yes, I know; it's Sports Illustrated, so why am I surprised. Still, I would think Phelps would like to wear a bit more than just his birthday suit and enough gold necklaces to make Mr. T jealous."
Last night, Anonymous replied, "FYI He is wearing his swim wear. It is very low on his body. Please review the following URl for photos that have him wearing the same type.

Anonymous, I followed the search link you provided this morning and found the following evidence:
Therefore, I would like to amend my previous opinion of Michael Phelps' Sports Illustrated cover photo: I no longer believe he posed in his birthday suit. Also, in my original post, I should have italicized the magazine title. Please don't flog me with a grammar noodle...or a false-assessment-of-an-Olympic-swimming-phenom's-photo noodle either. Obviously, I had no idea Michael Phelps could swim better than fish and taunt gravity. However, I still believe Mr. T cries in his pillow when he thinks of Phelps wearing all that gold.
