Phelps -- Now a Real Homie

Michael Phelps has plunked down $1.69 million for a condo on the waterfront in Baltimore, Md. Here's the headline -- practicing in that pool ain't gonna win him any medals.

His new pad is 4,080 sq. ft. (check out the model in the photos). The complex has a rooftop terrace, a private screening room, a state of the art gym, a clubhouse with pool tables.

If you're wondering where the money came from, Phelps was projected to earn between three and five mil this year even before the gold.

46. What ever happened to Olympic athletes all having to certify that they were unpaid amateurs? ::Sigh::

47.
As far as the "head line" .... "Practicing in that pool isn't going
to win him any medals"
Come off your crack - pipe! I am sure "practicing" wasn't the
intention of the purchase!
If the boy doesn't win another gold in his life time.... he's
represented the United States well in the
last 8 years!
Michael, I applaud you! Job well done, enjoy your new place!

48. What a joke... Where are our priorities? 3 to 5 Million for a swimmer... NO ATHLETE, I REPEAT, NO ATHLETE SHOULD BE WORTH THAT MUCH...
