Olympic Blog Hound: Redeem Team Triumph The No. 1 Weekend Topic

Over the weekend the most popular Olympic topic was the U.S. men's basketball team's 118-107 win over Spain yesterday in the Gold Medal game. Commentary on the gymnastics age controversy also increased with many wondering why the IOC waited so long to investigate. U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps continued to be a popular topic, especially with news of a rumored romance with Australia swimmer Stephanie Rice. Reports of a possible ban for life for Cuba taekwondo athlete Angel Valodia Matos, who kicked a referee in the face following a match in which he was disqualified, also was a popular topic. Finally, MSNBC's "Olympic Update" co-host Tiki Barber sparked discussion several days after possibly uttering an inadvertent obscenity on air.
