Okay, this drives me nuts every year--when it's Hispanic Heritage Month and instead of actually translating the team names, they just slap "Los" or "El" before it.

Re: NBA 2013
Russell Westbrook recorded a triple-double in just 21 minutes of playing time last night. The only time in NBA history it was done faster was in 1955, which shouldn't really count.

Re: Winter Olympics
!00% if your Grandparents came from a crappy country with no winter sports. Or if you are a Brit who can slide off a ski jump ramp without dying. I've always sort of envied people who have that route available. Closest I could come would be if Quebec seceded and dodgeball was made an Olympic sport.

Yeah, most of the blowouts mentioned above were games in which the winner was significantly favored coming in. You'd probably have to go back to Raiders-Redskins (83/84) for the last time a team that was favored, or was at least seen as having an even chance, unraveled so completely.
