5 so far, 3 to go! Unless Michael Phelps gets food poisoning or the U.S. 4x100-meter medley relay team gets disqualified, he's going to do it.

Ok here we go. I want to give Michael Phelps some slurpy, wet head! Really, I do! And I will if he'd have me. I have been imagining that boy doing the breaststroke on my back and ride me to the wall, stroke by stroke! He is phenomenal.

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are accustomed to having people gawk at them, but there they were in the Water Cube stands Wednesday, as mesmerized as the rest of the mortal fans by Michael Phelps. The Phelps phenomenon continued at the Beijing Olympics when the American swam across a historic threshold by winning his 10th and 11th gold medals, the most ever won by any Olympian. In five days he has won five races and set five world records. He's got three finals to go - a total of six races including heats and semis - to break Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven golds at one Olympics. Soon the iconic image of Spitz with his mustache and seven gold medals arrayed across his chest will be replaced by Phelps with his big ears and eight gold medals arrayed across his chest. Phelps is doing heretofore inconceivable things. He is dominating his sport like no other athlete. He is not just rewriting the record book but writing it in a new language. Bryant, James and even Phelps' opponents are in awe. Maybe tennis great Roger Federer will visit the Water Cube, too, and ask Phelps to join the mutual admiration club of which he and Tiger Woods are members.

Phil Spencer: Jeff, take a number!
George Tyler: Stop it guys! You are killing me.
Chris Goodridge: What? Just don't get near Brendan Hansen, Jason Lezak and all the Team USA volleyball guys -- both the beach and indoor hotties. They are mine!
Ambrose Aban: Slow down babe!
