Here is an article quoting Bob "I have been reporting the Olympics since it's inception" Costas letting Michal Phelps know that he is the "#1 celebrity" in the world.

First of all, does Costas even know what facebook is? I am very sure someone born in '52 has no idea how little of an effect that Intenet 2.0 has on anything. If popularity or "celebrity" status were determined by FB then Barack Osama would clearly be more popular than John Mccain in our national election. According to http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ there is a statistical tie between the two candidates.

Micheal Phelps won 8 Gold medals in Beijing this year. A couple of those were obtained by a finger nail's length.

NBC is missing the true talent. Usain Bolt is the athlete to watch. He is on the cusp of a trend that will redefine the 100M and 200M event. For the past two to three decades no Gold medalist sprinter has been over 6'4", and certainly none have coasted that last half of the race.

One would think the sprinting scene is seeing a change in the making. From short, barrel chested, Deon Sanders look alikes; to tall, long-legged,"I am the next Randy Moss".

But according to Costas, Facebook has spoken.
