Freethinker
Hall of Famer
The media's new talking point will be something along the lines of, "Oh Phelps is great but Jesse Owens is the greatest". Another "journalist" hemorrhoid, Greg Doyle of cbssports, now must try to rain on the parade.Michael Phelps now has 20 total medals (16 golds), and still has a legit chance to get 2 more before his storied career is complete. It was so predictable that the racist Michael Wilbon would immediately spring to action and try to discredit Phelps by bringing up Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens as two guys he would actually rate ahead. By any objective measure, it's not even close.

However, Phelps won the fan poll on the cbs homepage by 49% to 30% over Owens. Guess the populous isn't buying what Marxists like Doyle are selling.
