Thank you, Amanda Beard, for your frank honesty. Lost in all this hoopla surrounding Michael Phelps and his record eight gold medals have been realistic portrayals of the man himself, specifically the fact that he seems to be a massive douche bag. Behind those cut abs and sheepish smiles, lives a twenty-three year old obsessed with hip-hop music and unwilling to take off his iPod to communicate with any of his teammates not named Ryan Lochte. Those aren’t even my impressions but details Bob Costas told me during NBC’s Olympic Coverage.
According to The New York Daily News, super hot swimmer and rumored to be dating Michael Phelps Playboy Playmate Amanda Beard responded to that beauty salon gossip via a call in radio program, saying she’d never date Mr. Eight Gold Medals because she has “good taste.” Finally! I’ve been accusing Phelps of frat boy douche baggery since Athens but nobody’s bothered listening.
I’ve rooted for Michael Phelps throughout these entire Olympics. He is a phenomenal athlete representing The United States, but I certainly wouldn’t hang out with him.

Amanda grew up in the same area I did in Irvine Calif, she also was a regular at a awesome Mexican Rest in Irvine, El Conejo. I can tell you she is brutally honest as she is brutally beautiful, I heard nothing but good things about her. I think she should have showed a little more class in her remarks though, but Phelps will have no problem in the LADIES department the bigger picture should be Mark Spitz total lack of respect.Mark shake yourself you are a awesome Olympic swimmer but by being a azzz you show to be a big loser in the spirit of being a Champion. Grow up Mark Spitzer give Phelips the respect he deserves and Amanda you should have at least been flattered not acting like your a Bitch, and your not a Bitch are you????
What an irrelevant, shallow bimbo. She (and you, too, Mack) can Michael Phelps' dust. I guess Michael would be interested in her if he were attracted to idiot bimbos who resemble anteaters with too much makeup or tan or celebrity wannabee leeches and so-called sports columnists known for being known (or saying something stupid or latching onto a celebrity just to make headlines).
I only hope Michael will keep his head on straight and remain genuine as he navigates his way around the inevitable barrage of trash currently falling out of the trees, hangers-on who will try to use him for a buck or a cheap fame fix. If he remains grounded, I'm sure he will find a wonderful soulmate who will love him for him, not the size of his bank account or the number of gold medals hanging around his neck.
Your lack of sensitivity, brains, and manners aside, I'm sure it never dawned on you imbeciles that the reasons Michael tunes people out on his iPod is his shyness and ADHD, and he is, understandably, overwhelmed by all the crowds, cameras, and attention.
What Amanda said was just plain rude and your post is equally so. There were other ways to say that she and Michael were not dating. And what's with saying that Michael is an arrogant douche-bag? From what I've seen and all the interviews I've read he seems like a fairly shy guy with immense talent. His an amazing swimmer and he seems to be a humble guy who is grateful for everything that has been happening to him. So unless you've actually met him there's no need to judge him like that. I lost all respect for Amanda Beard after she made that comment and apparently I've lost all respect for you too Mack after this post. If anyone is acting like a douche bag it's you.
Jeff, that must be an ugly town where you grew up with Beard because she is fugly. I guess if you keep seeing her picture over and over again it clouds your perception. I have see a horse smile like that since that ice skater whatshername. Beard is delusional as you. That Italian swimmer or that Australian chick are good looking.
LOL... Hi Mack.. I wonder if you ever ask yourself... do you really think Phelps would want to hang out with you? I DON'T THINK SO... especially after you talked trash!!!
