Todd Olympic glory

Todd is now a golden name in Beijing.

Current world champion Todd J. Rogers of California won the gold medal in men's Olympic beach volleyball, along with partner Phil Dalhausser. The duo defeated Brazil in the final match. Congratulations, Todd!

Around 100 people waited at the Santa Barbara airport to greet Rogers, 34, one of the most dominating sand volleyball players ever who was named Rookie of the Year in 1997 and "God of the Beach" in 2006.

Rogers has a blog, where commenters on his victory suggest following up with a gig on "Dancing With The Stars." I second this idea, what the hell.

Rogers was born in 1973, when Todd was the 35th most popular boy's name for babies.
