Olympic Quick Hits


It’s only February 18th, but the idiot move of the year so far goes to Olympian Lindsey Jacobellis.....with the gold medal in her back pocket, Jacobellis decided to "hot dog it" and ended up falling down.....she finished with the silver medal....

By the way, how many gold medals has Cody.....I mean Bode won yet???.....he has been the most annoying person in this Olympics.....he is all hype.....

My money is on Sasha Cohen of the United States to win the gold medal in women’s figure skating.....

Does anyone really care who wins the gold medal in ice hockey now that the NHL players are involved???....

Will the media and people stop picking on the Olympic games.....the media keeps showing how ratings are down for these games and that people don't care about Winter Olympic sports.....chill out people.....the Olympic games are once every four years.....let these athletes have their two weeks in the spotlight without ripping their sport.....the same people who rip on curling, are probably the same ones who sit down at their local beer garden and are in a dart league...

The babe of these games easily goes to U.S. ice dancer Tanith Belbin.....she will be getting many endorsements after these games....and imagine if she ends up with a gold medal....

What is up with Mike Golic from ESPN radio’s Mike and Mike......Golic said ESPN made a mistake by hiring Tony Kornheiser as a color analyst for Monday Night Football because Kornheiser is not a former player....I have two words for Golic – Howard Cosell....

By the way, whatever happened to the Fabulous Sports Blob.....I mean the Fabulous Sports Babe??.....

The marquee basketball game of the day is Connecticut at West Virginia.....UConn is going into a hornet’s nest and may end up getting pittsnogled.....

Indiana head coach Mike Davis made the right move by resigning at the end of the season.....Davis has been whining about the pressures of being the head coach of the Hoosiers....people have to realize that whenever you accept a job at a big name university who is a traditional sports power in a certain sport, there is going to be pressure to win – and rightfully so.....over the last three seasons, the Hoosiers have not made the NCAA tournament and have lost out on some big time recruits from the state of Indiana.....

Of course, former Indiana star and current Iowa head coach Steve Alford is the favorite to land the Indiana job.....but there has been talk in the newspapers and on the internet that Ohio State head coach Thad Matta may have the inside track.....

Why are some baseball players concerned about playing in the first ever World Baseball Classic....these same players who will be representing their country would still be playing in exhibition games as part of spring training....an injury could easily occur whether they are playing in a spring training game or in the Classic....

Doesn’t Hillary Clinton have something better to do than to stir up the pot concerning Dick Cheney’s accidental shooting of his friend last week?.......there was no conspiracy Hillary!!!....

By the way, did I mention that Tanith Belbin is hot!!!.....
