Yikes

I saw the replay of the speed skater disqualification from the marathon event.  If you didn’t see it, basically, the skater’s coach told him to change lanes, the skater complied, which led to a rule violation and a disqualification.  Now, that’s bad enough, but when you add the fact that this particular skater was favored [...]

Bonds, James Bonds

Ok, this was real fun to see, especially if you’re a fan of the 007 series. Fox News, in a nod to Conan O’Brien, mashed celebrity and politicin photos to see what they would look like as one person. Some had some comical results, but the coolest one was the Bond montage. They took different [...]

The Skeleton is aptly named

I watched the Skeleton Friday night for the first time and I had one reaction: ARE YOU SERIOUS? While the luge is bad enough, and the tragedy at the beginning of the games should attest to the events inherent danger, the skeleton is worse. Men and women train to go head first down a luge [...]

Olympic update #3

I’m not a big fan of figure skating, but this is worth mentioning. Evan Lyseck became the first American male to win the gold since Brian Boitano in 1988.  That’s over 20 years since the US took the gold in Mens figure skating.  Congratulation need to got out to Evan, especially since Yevgeny Plushenko came [...]

Will Conan end up at Fox?

There’s a story ay MSNBC that Conan O’Brien could possibly end up hosting a late night talk show over at Fox.  The story’s author, Oscar Dahl, offers his opinion and that is for Conan to stay away from Fox.  While Foix is not the best location for late night talk shows, Chevy Chase’s infamous endeavor [...]

Wescott took the gold in the mens snowboarding event while Bode miller captured the bronze in the mens downhill. Tonight are the womens snowboarding, biatholon and 500m speed skating while the [...]

USA, USA!

Despite the tragedy of the luger from Georgia, the Olympics have continued with great events and competition. And as of right now, the US leads the medal total with 6 while Germany is next with 4. We have 1 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze. Hopefully, there’s more to come.

All eyes rest on Vancouver

The Winter Olympics begin tonight in Vancouver. The nice thing is that we won’t have to avoid the news to see who won before watching the games on TV. What do you plan to watch? I’ve always been partial to hockey, skiing, and the bobsled. I always enjoy watching events in those general categories. I [...]

The perfect Valentine’s Day gift

For Valentine’s Day, my wife spilled the beans and told me what she’s getting me. (OK, I stumbled upon it by accident) She’s got me a pair of sunglasses like the ones worn by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones from the movie Men in Black. She knows that’s my favorite movie. Love ya’ babe.

The best Super Bowl Commercial of this year

Well, along with the game, a lot of attention goes to the commercials during the Super Bowl. Everyone has their favorite, and I think mine has to be this one. Gotta love a kid who loves him momma and his Doritos that much.
