We should have a duel of some kind. Duel between d-league and nba dunkers. If d-leaguer wins then he gets a contract with an nba team and one of the nba dunkers gets demoted. Also the trophy could be some sort of dual-headed dildo.

This story has inspired me, and on Valentine's Day no less. Tonight, when I finish 30 minutes ahead of my wife, I vow to stay awake and congratulate her perseverance.

I was surprised by how passive Slovakia was. It's like they haven't even heard of checks.

That's Mike Emrick, considered the best hockey announcer ever. There's a lot more to calling a game than a goal call. You should listen to him sometime. He's incredible.

Hey, at least Park isn't beating herself up about the matter; she certainly seems inclined to let it slid—

Sure, the winner got a gold medal, but she will always have to live with the fact that it was in the Winter Olympics.

You can 'concede'. WTH? There's no gimmies in curling!

During USA/Pants yesterday they were talking about how other countries are using professional curlers. Curlers for whom their job is to hit the ice and work their butts off until the end of the day. The US relies on amateur curlers, and will probably fall farther and farther behind the pack as long as we do. Though…

takes some big stones to bounce back after a loss like that.

Postscript to this story: the Norwegian coach came to the aid of Sara Renner during the Team Sprint race. Sara's partner in that race, Beckie Scott, is married to the guy who handed off the ski today. A chance to pay it forward.

This really warms the hea... damnit! NOW THE SNOW IS MELTING. Sochi!

...in the bronze medal game.

Where were the Russian coaches?

Canadian fans still remember when a Norwegian coach came to Sara Renner's aid during the sprint, when she broke a pole. He handed her a new one, and Renner got the silver. The Norwegian in the race came fourth. Incredible show of sportsmanship.

All about building up goodwill so Putin doesn't have our hockey team executed when we beat his.

If these Olympics were boycotted, 2010 in Vancouver (treatment of Canadian aboriginals) and 2002 in Salt Lake (Guantanamo) should have also been boycotted.

Whenever a woman has sat on my lap, I've certainly never felt as though I were being made less for it.

Fuck it. I'm starting to really like Justin Beiber. Blatant disregard for common decency? Utter contempt for his pre-teen fanbase? Pills and weed during a Lamborghini race on a busy freeway? Plowing Brazilian prostitutes? Playing basketball poorly? This kid is everything I would be if I had a billion dollars too.

I couldn't disagree more. This is awesome. Plus, imagine what the list looked like for Game 1. You'd need a legal pad.
