I guess 8 gold medals warrants an SI cover.

Michael Phelps has already celebrated his record-breaking Olympic performance with his family in Beijing – and now the swimmer is celebrating his historic achievement by gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated, adorned with his eight gold medals.

what a crappy cover.

 

side note. my alma mater was on SI for having the worst football team in the nation. 

Yeah, I think the cover looks a bit generic. Not sur if it's the red on red or what, but I give it a thumbs down.

I hate him.

My mom says he looks older than me.

the 8 medals look pretty bad ass. the rest of the photo is meh.

 

im also tired of the obsession with this dude's mother. its all so oedipal.

He kinda looks like Mclovin.

he looks like he's wearing a halter-top type shirt/blouse whatever.

It's supposed to be a tribute to this Mark Spitz photo 

 

 

didn't know that TR, thanks for the heads up. Spitz has got that 70s porn look down.

hahaha

 

that's exactly what i was thinking, daba.
