With so much content to choose from, we ventured into the crowd to find the Mihcael Phelps Facebook Wall Post Of The Day:

Today’s winner is a response to the thousands of gorgeous women — based on their tiny profile pictures — pouring out the “I love you” and “Marry me” posts to his wall. John Kim of Los Angeles — who, by sheer looks, may have ties to China — doesn’t agree with the sudden onslaught of the Lovephest, as eloquently described in this message:

Heckling: True story. It’s the dirty sludge in any NCAA football/basketball game, often spit at our precious student-athletes.

But in today’s modern era of Facebooks, MySpaces, YourSpaces and OurSpaces, the public eye has gained a new, Big Brother perspective into their favorite Big Brother On Campus.

A few new tactics have evolved since such discovery. Prior to the big game on Saturday, some student sections have organized a cult-like massive “poke” on the opposing quarterback on Facebook. Granted, that’s an innocent form of heckling — and kinda creepy, if you really know what poking means. But this, on the other hand, was tasteless and coward-esque way of talking trash behind a computer.

Exhibit A: Here’s a wall post recently written on Portland Trailblazer rookie Jerryd Bayless’ profile:

Bayless supporters fended off Ahmed’s attacks with the following:

He brought yet another classy response:

–

Wow, great points Ahmed Ab! You should get a TV show with Skip Bayless!

Tony lives in Los Angeles, bleeds purple and pisses yellow. Bryan lives in Mass., loves the Celtics and is not a homosexual. Pointless arguments ensue when a lethal medium (Facebook) bridges the communication gap between the two heated rivals.

Tony thrives on the “hey, I’m from LA, so I must chill with a lot of famous people and wear sunglasses nonstop” approach, while Bryan brings the “yeah, Boston is the greatest sports city in the universe, but so what if the weather sucks and the streets are a maze, because I’m hammered at a sports bar somewhere, hugging strangers after Leon Powe’s dunks” take to life.

Tony: pierce is a piece of shit
Tony: paul pierce is a piece of shiot

Bryan: lamar odom is a piece of shit

Tony: paul pierce faked that injury
Tony: and u know it

Bryan: and the celts still won
Bryan: and you know it

Tony: ya i know
Tony: pierce is a vag
Tony: but he did fake it
Tony: admit it

Bryan: pierce has never faked an injury in his 10 years with the celtics
Bryan: a miserable 10 years
Bryan: why would he fake an injury in the game he waited 10 years to reach

Tony: dude
Tony: ok for how bad he was yelling
Tony: and them to just carry him off with no knee support
Tony: like they did

Bryan: he played through it he’s tough

Tony: and then he coms out

Bryan: he wasn’t about to miss the game he has been waiting 10 years to play

Tony: dude

Bryan: WEAKKKK

Tony: u cant just come back from a knee injury and not show
Tony: dude
Tony: dude im not sayign that u guys shudnt have won that game

Bryan: alright
Bryan: but you’ve got to look at pierce’s career

Tony: but pierce faked it

Bryan: his ENTIRE career

Tony: i know hes good

Bryan: there’s no reason for him to fake an inujury at that point
Bryan: no i’m talking about his career health

Tony: ya to get he crowd into it
Tony: dude he did

Bryan: bullshit that crowd was in it the whole game

Tony: its obvious

Bryan: a hell of a lot louder than LA
Bryan: staples is so weak

Tony: stop being ignorant

Bryan: even espn said that
Bryan: the garden is loud all the time

Tony: stop being ignorant
