Tony The Toker

14-time gold medalist Michael Phelps is watching his endorsement career go up in a puff of funny-smelling smoke. The Kellog Co. is just the latest sponsor to pull the plug. While I’m not one for the wacky weed, here’s my advice to the Sportsman of the Year: Become the face of marijuana legalization. Yes, you’ll have to give up your lucrative blue chip endorsements, but you’ll gain some new backers, i.e. High Times. Instead of running away in shame, you’ll develop a loyal following among a diverse set up groups including Libertarians, hippies, actors, musicians, artists, poets, professional athletes, and yes, educators, executives, physicians, and politicians. There are pot heads from all walks of life and in every profession known to man. Mr. Phelps can become their god. Hell, he may just end up as the face of WEEDIES.
