Move over Mark Spitz.
With Team USA winning the Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay with a world record time of 3:29.34, swimmer Michael Phelps has won eight gold medals at one Olympics, eclipsing Spitz's record of seven.
Spitz won seven gold medals with all record-setting performances at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
Phelps has now won 16 Olympic medals - 14 gold.

Favre lands in NY
After drama similar to that of a Spanish soap opera and even becoming his own subject on the ESPN news crawl, Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets.
Favre's debacle has gained much media coverage since applying for reinstatement into the NFL after his team, the Green Bay Packers, seemed to force him to retire. The Packers had made it perfectly clear that they were not interested in keeping Favre if his reinstatement was accepted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
