By now I’m sure you’ve been exposed in some way to the “bong rip heard around the world.”

By that I mean the photo of Michael Phelps’ impersonation of Cheech and Chong. His sponsors have stood by him through all the publicity and recently, authorities have chosen not to press charges against him.

But his fellow partiers weren’t so lucky, as eight have been arrested in connection to the party. And to top it off, the owner of the infamous utensil that Phelps was using, was none other than professional poker player Zachary “Carter” King. The card shark was caught when he tried to sell the device on ebay for $100,000.

King, who has more than $2 million in poker winnings, I bet wishes he never placed that ad on ebay now.

Smart move King. Stick to cards.

• Photo Finish: Warren Sapp and Michael Phelps in a Race

We already knew Warren Sapp was a heck of a football player. Hey, he even was a bit light on his toes when he placed second on Dancing with the Stars. But Warren Sapp as a swimmer? Sorry, I’m not really buying it.

Well, apparently he was confident in his swimming abilities when he challenged Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps to a swimming race in a Florida pool. Of course, he needed a half a pool-length start. Oddly enough, it was still pretty close.

Check it out for yourself.

Oh, the tabloids. Who said they weren’t good for anything? Who said they couldn’t stimulate the brain?

Lets play a little game this morning. Page Six of The New York Post gave us some clues to a certain athlete who was a little self-destructive and had been experimenting with a little Mary Jane for the first time. Here’s what they had to say:

WHICH Olympic champion smoked pot for the first time recently at a Michigan hotel? The stoned athlete broke the TVs in his room, but later bought exact replicas so he could replace them before anybody at the hotel was the wiser . . .

Hmm…An Olympic champion who has the type of money to buy TVs on a moments notice…Hmm…Would be in Michigan for no apparent reason at all….Hmm…Experimenting for the first time because he MIGHT have spent his entire teenage years trying to wipe that chlorine smell off of him.

Hmm….Does anyone know if Kobe swims, cause I can’t figure this out.
