Today was exciting around these parts very, very exciting.

Michael Phelps' final race - giving him 8 of 8 in '08, and the most gold medals in Olympic history - was the stuff of legend.

The Games is filled with moments and this was the moment of all moments.

The energy inside of the International Broadcast Center today was electrifying. At 11 am, dozens of NBC employees were gathered in the commissary watching Dara Torres' and Michael Phelps' final races together. There was cheering, sighing, and high drama - it was powerful and emotional. Even though most folks didn't have tickets to the final races at the Water Cube, this felt like the next best place to be watching the action.
