Phil Hellmuth stalks Michael Phelps
It’s been quite the week for Phil Hellmuth. After admitting to suffering a Phil Hellmuth meltdown/panic attack, he’s now blogging about his apparent affinity for Michael Phelps. To hear Phil gush about chasing down the boy wonder will make most grown men somewhat uncomfortable. A few of Phil’s observations in his blog:
“Phelps is a poker fan, which is cool because everyone in the world is a Phelps fan!” (Even me, Phil Hellmuth!)
“Just like when he walks into restaurants these days, a standing ovation from the patrons every time, and why we wouldn’t he get one?” (I mean, he’s a 14 time Gold Medal winner. I’m an 11 time gold bracelet winner! Marry me, Michael!)
“Later we hit “Prive” for some dancing and drinks.” (Sounds like a special moment, Phil!)
“I found Phelps to be humble, respectful, fun to hang out with, and someone that is enjoying the spotlight like a kid in a candy store. For myself, I strive to be like a kid in a candy store with the fame and fortune stuff as well…” (Yeah, right. A kid in the candy store, holding Phelp’s hand.)
These are all Phil’s words, my friends. So it’s pretty clear that he’s having a tough time holding back his affection for the 14 time Olympic Gold Medallist. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that while searching for an image of Phelps on Google for this article, a gay mens website was on the first page of results “Michael Phelps”! Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
