I think NBC needs to pay Michael Phelps a bonus. From what I read, NBC stated their ratings were never this high during the post-primetime spot. I guess I'm not the only one who didn't get sleep this week

I LOLed a bit when they started doing a little countdown thing at the bottom of the screen during other sports saying "Michael Phelps in 9 minutes."

NBC reported that 70 million people tuned into Phelps' final race. This is twice as many people that tuned into the American Idol final.

I MISSED IT!!! I heard about the win on the radio and just watched it on YouTube.

Cullen is still my man, but I think I'm in love with Mike, too.

I haven't been to sleep before midnight since the start of the Olympics! I'm getting back to normal now that most of the "big ticket" events are over.

LOL, Facebook is officially a groupie as well.

They posted a congratulatory message for Michael and all the U.S. athletes on the main home page (above the news feeds).

I was going to suggest making up some Chuck Norris-esque facts but someone already beat me to it.

http://michaelphelpsfacts.com/Home.html

Here are my favorites:

When Michael Phelps jumps into the pool, he isn’t making a splash; the water is just trying to get out of his way.

The real reason Poseidon has a magical trident is to protect himself from Michael Phelps.

The real reason for the Spanish Armada’s defeat happened because they got in the way of Michael Phelps’ training course.

Aquaman wears Michael Phelps underwear.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, leap tall buildings in a single bound are all warm-up exercises for Michael Phelps.

The waterwheel was invented when the ancient Romans witnessed Michael Phelps doing a flip turn.

Michael Phelps’ heart pumps twice as much blood as the average human’s heart. Blood made of the failed Olympic dreams of everyone that has raced against him.

Michael Phelps went to participate in a boat race. The officials asked him where his speedboat was. Michael Phelps just laughed.

Newborn dolphins learn to swim by watching footage of Michael Phelps.

Michael Phelps can break 9 world records in only 8 events.

It rains because dry land does not deserve to feel Michael Phelps walk upon it.

I absolutely love those Michael Phelps 'facts'. They crack me up.

My favorite is "Michael Phelps’ heart pumps twice as much blood as the average human’s heart. Blood made of the failed Olympic dreams of everyone that has raced against him." So horrible, but so funny.
