Anyone happen to hear the Dan Patrick Show today? And the comparison of Jeter with George Clooney? That was spot on. Clooney is a matinee idol, not by any stretch whatsoever a great actor, not remotely, but highly popular. Taking that a bit further, Clooney doesn't really act so much as he goes out ...

Now then, just imagine if the situation was reversed - if a grade two class was told that God didn't exist. There'd be a picket line up within 12 hours. In the States, sure. Here, not so much. Confront the teacher with a copy of the diagram and ask point blank "Did you teach the children in yo...

The condoms in Vancouver didn't have any Olympic markings on them. None at all. And that's why. They didn't want them taken home as souvenirs, they wanted the athletes to actually use them. The initial supply in 2010 was a generic no-name looking condom in a sort of barely blue tinted transparent pa...

That particular word choice was, it figures, the one I mulled the longest. And the second half of that sentence is ". . . doing so before the draft is the right way to do it" . True, I may well have said "Given that it is unavoidably a political issue . . . " but that would under...

Sweetfuck that is mindnumbingly stupid. But what do you expect from a guy that offers this as an entire paragraph: And there's the other stuff. Ughhhh.

Ha! Didn't notice; just copypasted the first functional example I could find. Heh. (And I can save anyone who goes looking the trouble; none of those pages in the Google search results from the sportsfrog.net domain contain an explanation of the rules)

If I recall correctly . . . There is a number of questions. Say twenty. You get points for answering correctly but the points awarded is a slide based on the obscurity of your correct answer. So if the question is "Name a Canadian province" and you are the only one that answers "Nova ...

Olympic Village Hookups?

Pretty sure that Kershaw led the National League in Ks. And, yeah, good points. Burnett is never going to go out and throw half a dozen complete games in a season. Mind you he has been a particularly healthy one over the last half dozen seasons when you consider that he is a senior citizen as far as...

The US women were horrendous every time I turned on one of their matches. Just horrible. They can't figure out the ice or the rocks. Problem for Brown is that everyone else is figuring out the behaviors before they are. It takes a team effort to give up seven in one end. You only get eight rocks. F...

I know I'm no expert but it seems to me Erika Brown is killing the US curling team. And is there a good site to find the standings? Every site that came up on google (that I pulled up at least) just had a schedule/results page. Yes, it is seriously frustrating that sites like the CBC (or even the m...

I listened to and watched many Pirates games last season.

The obvious comment surely has to be that . . . it's a typo, right? That's supposed to say one-point-six?

I know that one. It's kinda a trick question. Kinda. In both cases it is the Spurs (David Robinson, Tim Duncan).

So much for that. The CBC coverage has been, unquestionably, the worst I have ever seen. It's been despicable.

It's funny, I had to explain White Guilt to a black coworker the other day. She was asking me why white people avoid talking about the differences between white and black people.

Yeah, that's an advertising campaign. But apparently there is one real one in the Canadian House at athlete's village. Sort of. But not exactly like that.

Not in person. She's a lovely lass. Your Swamp then-Vancouver contingent met her in 2010 at the World Juniors. And you can't go by those "wimminz of curling" glam photos or you'd start to think that Chelsea Carey really looks like this: http://tech.onwired.biz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ch...

Erika Brown. She actually is very good; participated in the "World Curling" Vegas event Brian and Rams Fanny went to. Bear in mind she gave up seven in one end to the best women's team in the world: Eva Muirhead, Scotland (it's Scotland; there's no such thing as Great Britain in curling) a...
