I watched the Michael Phelps Matt Lauer Today Show interview on TV this morning and Michael's honesty was refreshing. He gives a great response at the end when Matt asks him what he'd like to say to his eight or ten-year-old fans. I also applaud him for not being a liar by saying he wasn't smoking herb. He neither confirms or denies it. Brilliant!
Matt Lauer, "I have to ask you: Were you smoking pot?"
Phelpsy,
"It was a bad mistake. I mean, we all know what, you know, what you and I are talking about. It's a stupid mistake. You know, bad judgment. And it's something that, you know, I have to, and I want to teach other people not to make that mistake."
