For the entire 2004 Summer Games, 50 percent of the audience on NBC was composed of women ages 18 and older, according to the data, followed by their male counterparts, at 40 percent.

By comparison, the NBC data showed, women ages 18 and older made up 39 percent of the audience for another major TV sports event, Super Bowl XLII in February, with men ages 18 and older at 47 percent.

From the article "Olympics Draw High Percentage of Women Viewers, and Ads Intended for Them," by Stuart Elliot of The New York Times.

    The other day, Brian Williams said, “Michael Phelps is the guy who's so easy to like.” And I thought, “Actually, he looks like a real jerk.” I'd stay away from him at a party, because I generally don't like being put in a headlock and getting noogies.

    And, yeah, he looks like Screech on steroids.
