Michael Phelps on 60 Minutes Sunday. I'll be writing

As I wrote in a post earlier this week, Michael Phelps is going to be featured on the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes Sunday. CNN newsman Anderson Cooper will be interviewing the Baltimore swimming star, and I will be writing about the encounter right here after the top-rated show ends.

The interview promises to be a good one with Phelps talking for the first time about having post-Olympics weight issues -- he's up to an all-time high of 205 pounds -- and his widely-discussed high-calorie diet.

The interview airs at 7 p.m. Sunday on WJZ-Channel 13 -- or whenever football ends. To read a preview, click here
