Also, I completely disagree with this new thing they've been saying which is that Phelps is the greatest athlete ever. No way. He's an amazing swimmer, has tremendous motivation, strength, character, and all of that, but I don't think he's the greatest athlete ever.

The NBC coverage drives me crazy. So much fluff and so many commercials. They spent 10 minutes on pandas during the coverage last night. Aaargh!
I did watch a bit of Brazil versus Nigeria (Women's soccer) on Telemundo yesterday. Cristiane's bicycle kick was impressive! The coverage on Telelemundo was much better - fewer commerical and less fluff.
