Attempting to compare Olympic gold medals and NFL touchdowns is an apple-orange type debate. One is a four year culmination of hard work (unless you're a backstroker, then you just need to learn how to swim on your belly like everyone else) condensed into several hundred seconds celebrated on a world stage. The other is a week's worth of hard work condensed into several seconds celebrated on a ... Oh.

Well, maybe they are kind of similar, value and frequency aside. Which would explain why pool-pals Michael Phelps and Braylon Edwards are making a bet on quantity, which was confirmed by an NBC halftime report during the Notre Dame - San Diego State game.
The foot injury wasn't a complete loss. Edwards used the time on his couch to catch up with swimmer Michael Phelps' chase for history at the Olympics.

Edwards and Phelps have University of Michigan ties and struck up a friendship. Edwards bragged before Beijing that he would more than double Phelps' gold-medal total with touchdown catches. After Phelps' record eight golds, Edwards needs to set another franchise record.
So, as you can see, they actually made this bet before the Olympics. Whoops, Braylon.

Now the Browns wideout, who has been dealing with a Stallworth on his foot all preseason, has beat his 2007 total of 16 touchdowns, since Phelps recorded eight Golds at Beijing. (At least I think that's the number; I can't recall it being reported anywhere.)

So Braylon, you better get your focus on. And that means no watching Rich Rodriguez turn Michigan back into a power house, and certainly no celebrating in strip clubs with a bunch of half naked Playmates.

Of course, at this point we don't even know what the actual bet is -- only that 1/2 Olympic Gold = 1 NFL Touchdown. And that Braylon probably wants the replay tapes of that 100-meter butterfly released.
