Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps has been exposed as a bong-toking pothead in a photo circulating around the Internet, taken on Nov. 6 at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
While he was visiting co-ed Jordan Matthews a girl he was secretly seeing who was a student there , Phelps stopped at a kegger where he partied with beer, marijuana and some quality Roor glass.
“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents. “I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Terry Porter will be the Phoenix Suns’ next coach, ending the club’s monthlong search for a successor to Mike D’Antoni.
Phoenix general manager Steve Kerr said Saturday he had agreed to terms with Porter, who was an assistant with the Detroit Pistons.
The 45-year-old Porter played in the NBA for 17 seasons and teamed with Kerr in San Antonio.
Porter is expected to sign a three-year deal worth about $7 million, and he likely will be introduced at a news conference early next week. His hiring was first reported by ESPN.
We interviewed some great candidates, and we wanted to take our time and make sure we made the right choice,” Kerr said. “He’s the right guy, and I’m glad to have him on board.”
Porter will become the Suns’ seventh coach since 1993, when they made their last NBA Finals appearance.
